Red and white always reminds me of winter. Remnants of Christmas. Peppermints. Snow on berries, which we might actually see several times this winter, since Dallas has already seen an unheard of 3 snowfalls with more predicted. Winter for me is a time to try new things, play around, plan, dream, practice. And the fruit of all those winter activities is this lovely new style which I’m going to call Victoria because I was inspired by all the beautiful calligraphy in the new movie “The Young Victoria” which I finally went to see one afternoon this week. (I went all by myself which felt decadent and indulgent and which, for some reason, also made me super productive). There’s something so fresh about the victorian style of addressing envelopes – so large and even messy, at least compared to the neater, scientific scripts of today.  No surprise that I love it. I guess since I can’t live in the nineteenth century, I’ll just have to bring a bit of it into the twenty-first.
