The Lost Art Of Letter Writing

I have been very excited this week to have received a really lovely letter in the mail from the QUEEN of letter writing herself - Claire from Letter Lounge, based in London.

This lovely handwritten envelope landed on my doormat with a flutter, rather than the usual thud of a handful of unwanted leaflets and holiday brochures... The pup didn't even woof at the postman on this particular morning.... I LOVE the letter receiving already!!

Claire and I will be teaming up in the summer and we are in cheeky planning mode for a fantabulous Al Fresco version of The Secluded Tea Party on Sunday 28th August at a fantastic SECRET GARDEN location in my wonderful new Tea Party Venue.
(A spacious Bell Tent to be precise : )
This letter was not only written to Miss Sue Flay, but also to my blog followers and she explains the concept of this event much better than I can....so here is what the letter says in all it's blue-lined glory....

" Dear Miss Sue Flay,

I just wanted to write to say how excited I am about the very first Al Fresco Secluded Tea Party! And of course, seeing your new Bell tent that we will be using as the venue on Sunday 28th August 2011 in a top secret location somewhere in Cambridgeshire.

Now I know your blog reader are very busy people, but I'd just like to explain a little more about this thing called Letter Lounge.
Basically, everyone loves finding a handwritten letter from an old friend on their doormat, and the best way to get one is to send one.
The thing is we're all so busy living our lives in a flurry of Twitter, Facebook and Emailing to ever find the time to put pen to paper, let alone walk to the post box. So I thought I'd try something to change all that - Letter Lounge - a space where you can come along to write the letters you never have time for and enjoy a bit of a social.

All you need to do is bring the address of the person you are going to write to.

I just can't wait to host a Letter Lounge with The Secluded Tea Party - It's going to be wonderful!

All My Love

Claire
