Product Trend: Handwriting on Upholstery & Wood

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I can’t really explain the handwriting trend but I would guess that it might have something to do with more people wanting to go back to tradition since it seems that we hardly ever actually hand write letters anymore. I received my wedding invitations and now I am just waiting for a few more pieces to complete them. Meanwhile my mother has been addressing all the invitations in calligraphy and they look beautiful! I am wanting a traditional and very natural style to the invitations so I thought calligraphy would be perfect and I am so glad that I decided to go this route. I can’t wait to get them all together to show you guys. (Click here to see wedding website)

Since we are on the subject of handwriting I am curious to know what people still hand write. I hand write my to do list, my shopping list and my daily planner. I have a hard time keeping track of it all in my Blackberry or on my computer. Even though I can type pretty fast I find it quicker and easier to hand write fast thoughts like a to-do list. My fiance has an iPhone and he logs everything in there. We were at breakfast while ago and we were inputting the schedule of our wedding week and I was handwriting mine in my planner and he was typing it into his iPhone and it was like we were racing and I totally won. What are some things that you still hand write?
