This is so beautiful! I think it’s so sad that people don’t send postcards or letters anymore.
By the way, your blog is lovely! I’ve read it so many times, but I’ve never commented before (I don’t really know why) .
That is such a charming image! I wish I could be as good with watercolour; my medium has always been oil. Lovely to see you painting. I’m inspired to make more time for it. xo
Skye,
I love violets. There are one, two or three blooming just now at the end of February. The weather has been so strange this winter. Your postcard painting, soft as violets themselves. Postcards and letters can be as special as those who send them, share them. Like yours.

Violets are the most precious of forgotten flowers. Do you know it is impossible to smell them for more than a few seconds? They are elusive by their very chemistry.
I hadn’t known that about violets, Skye–I’d thought, perhaps, that picking them lost their scent. I try not to pick them all–just a few for the little perfume bottle on my desk. They grow throughout the gardens and there are still a few nodding purple bonnets in the shade of gardenia, calla and the old wheelbarrow. Spring is edging in here; and Autumn there? I’ve missed you and your posts. It seems so many here have.

I always feel so happy to see a new post from you, Princess Skye!
I love your postcard. It’s so lovely and spring-like! (I’ve always envied people who could paint with watercolour–whenever I try to do it it’s hard to tell what the painting is of, haha.) It would be so much better if more people sent letters and postcards, wouldn’t it?

Goodness, that is a stunningly beautiful postcard.
It really looks like spring. Love it
Simple and beautiful. Refreshing from all the “loud” and “busy” images of the web.

Ah, I am useless with heavy dark things, seem to only see in pastels. x
Lovely picture. Makes me feel so peaceful just looking at it. Thank you for giving me a smile on this rainy Friday, princess <3

Simply beautiful.
So often that’s all one can do.
That postcard is so lovely and exquisite. It makes me long for spring.
I hope you are well, beautiful Skye. I have not come to your world in far too long. xx
Oh, I wish I could recieve something as beautiful as this! Handwritten letters, I wish so often that they had never fallen out of fashion…
I am so glad to see that you have written here again, and I hope you are doing well.
This is so sweet and beautiful… just like you, skye.
Much love xx
This is a lovely thought, it captures much of what is important about letters.
