{Happy New Year - 2012}

The clock is ticking away the last hours, minutes and seconds of the year 2011... In the different time zones, there will be several countries that are ahead of us in celebrating the arrival of the Happy New Year - 2012. May it be a Happy one, with Peace and good Health for the people on this planet. With modern communications, the world has become so small and we can read each other's writings à la minute. Let us not forget those that are lonely, sick, wounded or weak. They might be deprived of any modern era communication, the way we know it and maybe even take for granted... We all can make a difference in some one's life by caring and looking around for lending a helping hand, an ear or for writing a few encouraging words. Yes, writing is very powerful and will always remain that way.
The Christofle clock, together with an antique book from Goethe, a silver ink well and Mont Blanc fountain pens atop our solid French oak secretaire from Oisterwijk furniture in The Netherlands. A solid silver Giovanni Raspini Card/Letter/Napkin holder is holding embossed cards from Carol Wilson, my favorite line of fine arts stationery.
The solid 925/000 silver Giovanni Raspini Card/Letter/Napkin Holder with two Angels is available at Spectrenoir ←click it.
This heavenly piece out of solid silver is protected against oxidation.
Not only does it show two perfectly crafted angels but also a romantic rose wreath, that is held by the two cherubs. Would make a perfect gift for a bride or for that someone special in your life. It will no doubt become a treasured heirloom for generations to enjoy its majestic beauty.
Of course, it is equally useful for holding letters and even for adorning any buffet setting, as a napkin holder.

  24. Handgeschriebene Post - wie wunderbar! Und dann auch noch passend dazu eine höchst dekorative Aufbewahrung eben dieser! Das lässt mein Herz gleich höher schlagen und nostalgisch werden.

    Es war früher so schön, wenn man auf Post gewartet hat, diese dann im Briefkasten lag und endlich Nachricht von der besten Freundin, einem Flirt oder auch einem Verwandten gelesen werden durfte. So richtig mit Tinte auf schönem Papier oder manchmal auch nur einer Blockseite geschrieben. Alles wurde aufgehoben und Briefe und Karten häufig auch nach Wochen noch wiederholt studiert. Ich habe es geliebt...

    Internet und Mails haben diesen Zauber vertrieben - schade, sehr schade!

    Ganz liebe Grüße und ein tolles Wochenende schickt dir direkt in den Briefkasten
