A former assistant wrote this before heading to ParsonsAh... the joy of actually receiving a HAND WRITTEN THANK YOU NOTE !!! These little jewels are becoming increasingly rare, as email has invaded our lives, and I for one want to share my opinion that nothing is more important in this crass age of commercialism than the personal - and old fashioned good manners. Here are a few I have received recently, which I stuffed into a scrapbook - I enjoy using my Crane's cards shown here in a periwinkle color with chic brown ink and lining. In New York, Mrs. John L. Strong is famous for her stationery, sold at Barney's. Bergdorf Goodman carries Pineider and other wonderful lines not found elsewhere in the U.S. - just remember, when in doubt, send a note ! It has a special resonance in these modern times. You can express your personal style in countless ways ! DF *****
