Shakespeare buck condolence card

Shakespeare buck

This beautiful card came in from a dear pen pal, condolences on my grandfather's death this summer. I link the post about his death here because the photo I used in it helped inspire this kind soul to choose this card, which is beyond perfect. You couldn't have chosen a more perfect card if you had known him.

The quotation by William Shakespeare reads:

His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world: "This was a man!"


It made me cry, but in a sweet, remembering sort of way.

Vintage stamp jamboree

Vintage stamp jamboree

Sorry it's grainy, it was low light. But in response to these fine stamps, I wanted to send a letter using only small-denomination stamps that covered the envelope.

I'm particularly fond of the Shakespeare stamp.
