The 1900s French letter starts out, Dear Uncle and Aunt…
Love letters such as these are hard to find. They were often on embossed paper with either small stickers or delicate paintings on the side.
Decorative embossed paper was used to express love and devotion to family, parents, husband, wives and relatives during holidays, the first of the year and at celebrations such as marriages.
At the brocante love letters are hard to find, and that is how it should be, sacredness is kept. When I am fortunate to find such beautiful testimonies of love and devotion I feel some of that good love ripple towards me. Objects have energy don't they?
Napoleon's love letters to Josephine,
Mitterand's love letters to Anne
Mitterand's book of love letters for Anne, when they met Mitterand was 46 and married, Anne was 19.
Did you ever write a love letter to a child, or parent?
The way of love is a personal story that intertwines one with another, and another and another, taking us to places over yonder, taking us to places deep within ourselves. Loving is a journey rarely taken alone, nor should it be.
A love letter found in a book, used as a book marker?
A marker of time.
Isn't it best that the things we use daily should be things that remind us of beauty, joy, sharing, life?
A letter, a piece of paper soaked with words, describing feelings from the heart directed to another's heart. Years later, those inked words give way to a love that was.

Love's Divine by Seal
"
Then the rainstorm came over me
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost all of my belief, you see
And realized my mistake
But time threw a prayer to me
And all around me became still
I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Through the rainstorm came sanctuary
And I felt my spirit fly
I had found all of my reality
I realize what it takes
'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Oh I, don't bend (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name
Well, I try to say there's nothing wrong
But inside I felt me lying all along
But the message here was plain to see
Believe me
'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Oh I, don't bend (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name
Love can help me know my name"
