love notes

February with its pink hearts and red roses is just around the corner. I don’t mind the cheerful colors, we’re in the middle of a wet winter here, but I don’t really like modern Valentines. Thankfully there are so many beautiful options these days!

Message in a bottle letter service by Miniature Rhino

Miniature Rhino offers an adorable Message in a Bottle Letter Service. Your message is typed on to vintage paper using a vintage typewriter. The little note is sealed with red wax and the final touch is a twine tied copper key hand stamped with a custom monogram. I love this!

Each valentine features swallows-which have been off – set printed and then watercolored by hand in persimmon and a gorgeously subtle silver – as well as a personalized, customizable note penned with jet-black sumi ink in uniquely romantic calligraphy. Lovely!
