Stationery with an "E"...

...as by its very nature - what with all that folding, posting, departing, arriving and being man-handled, dog eared, refolded, tea stained, paper clipped and shredded - it is far from stationary!

If dog eared letters are your thing you can spend hours of fun looking through the archive of letterheads at www.letterheady.com. Although their examples are often unused and unposted (but aged, from lying about in piles of papers at the back of a filing cabinet in some fabulously dusty store room somewhere, have I just contradicted my opening paragraph there?!). The about section reads "Letterheady is an online homage to offline correspondence; specifically letters...at Letterheady we don't care about the letter's content. Just its design." I think that's a pretty good premise for a blog, don't you?
