Decorated Envelopes October - Elizabeth Oxenfeld

Elizabeth from Charlotte NC, USA has the most gorgeous penmanship that I adore. Even her normal writing on her notes are wonderful. I can only describe like describing the French language, a beautiful song. My eyes glide over each stroke and imagine her writing.

I feel honoured that I am the first Australian that she has sent mail to I think I might be the only Australian that is playing in this exchange.

Of course the stamps are just beautiful too
