This beauty from the marvelous Catwrangler came inside the envelope like this - what a lovely idea! This way the ribbon and the wax stay perfectly intact. I had to photograph this one before I even read it, because I knew opening it would break the seal, and I could never get the ribbon back so pretty again.
I'd never seen this cat design on an envelope before - is the kitty holding a stick or chopsticks in its mouth?
I love this rubber stamp. It seems so obvious: "Send a letter, receive a letter," but it's one of those simple wisdom sort of things that's great to keep repeating, like a mantra.
This was a great letter to read as well as to unwrap.
I love it! I would adore if I got a letter like that in the mail. What a perfect old fashioned style...I wish my ribbon tieing could look that nice!
ReplyDeleteSo nice, both the envelope and the content!
ReplyDeletethat is nice and I would love to be able to do that ,it is great , thanks for sharing that with us I love it .
ReplyDeleteHa! I could use such a stamp as reminder. Ingenious way to keep the ribbon&seal intact!
ReplyDeleteLucky you, that's lovely!! I'll try to make one like that next time I send a letter (though it's probably much harder than it looks).
ReplyDeleteI always thought the cat was holding a paintbrush for some reason. Now that I look at it - it doesn't look like anything. The ribbon and the seal was just a thought. Never had done it before! Glad everyone enjoyed it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think the cat is holding a fish net.
ReplyDeleteI like the ribbon and wax
Cool envelope and letter. Seems the wax would have cracked during transit.
ReplyDeleteAww, that cat on the outside of the envelope is really cute. <3 And that's such a great idea to put the wax-sealing on the inside that way you still get the great effect and send it through the mail. The pink paper and blue ribbon is really pretty too; LOVE the little drops of wax all over. :]

Oh..and I agree about the stamp. :] So simple, yet should be repeated and thought of more often.

I hope to start using wax seals soon - I've been shopping. I think they are lovely.
