When my Grandma passed away this summer I was able to go choose out a few things from her old house that I wanted. I took some beautiful little items of jewelry and a crochet baby cardigan but my most special item was a box of letters I found. She was big on family history and loved learning about the lives of those that had long passed and in this old shoe box I found hundreds of letters from the mid 1800’s. I have just started teaching myself calligraphy and this is just how it was back then. The yellow paper and proper english is so exciting to see and touch. My goal with these letters is to scan all of them and document them in a book for all of my relatives to have digitally. I am excited to read them and learn more about my family history and I feel like it is the perfect season to do it.
