[Dawn]

Fabulous

[Diana]

You see to have a whole stack of these wonderful treasures Katy, lovely shot and presentation.

[judith deacon]

What a lovely heirloom to treasure. Do you think there was some significance to putting the postage stamps upside down?

[Kathy A]

Amazing treasures to still have!

[Brian]

Well done

[JackieR]

How wonderful you have these letters, so romantic

[Joan Robillard]

That is a treasurer in more ways than one.

[Susan Wakely]

So lovely that you still have these.

[Junan Heath]

WOW, this is a beautifully sentimental shot!

[Beth]

Love this image, brings back family memories which are so comforting.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Sweet treasure! I think my sister has some of the ones my father wrote to my mother. Nicely captured too.

[Phil Howcroft]

nice family memorabilia Katy

[Kathy]

How wonderful that she kept the letters and then you kept the letters.

@randystreat ActuallyI think dad kept them first and then maybe they kept them together after that. He was a very sentimental man underneath his gruff exterior. I hope maybe my children will like to keep them someday also

[Lana Hill]

I really like this. I love old lettters and stamps. And I like that you can see the edge revealing a stack.

[Junan Heath]

I had to look up what having the stamp upside down on an envelope meant and it was "I love you" or "I miss you". I thought you would like to know.

@scoobylou I’m so sorry that I did not respond to this until now Lana. I’m glad that you like this one and that you liked the way I composed it.

[katy]

@paintdipper thank you for looking that up. I was aware of it but I wasn’t sure it was intentional or just an accidental thing. knowing my mom and dad it probably was intentional.
