Welcome to the Scriptorium (paper porn)

[angelofthenorth]

Ever since I got my very first set of Basildon Bond letter writing set and fountain pen when I was nine, I have loved writing, in these modern times, we expect so much from the push of a button. One of my teenage memories is recalling the excitement of receiving a letter from a friend.

This is my first thread so please be gentle with me.I would welcome and would love for others to post images and likeness of stationary, inks, quills and other such paraphernalia

A reminder of times before the internet

Like unzipping a dress.
Opening a present.
Removing a blindfold.

That moment when anything is possible.
