The written love letter is a lost art. I'm a hopeless romantic, so I've always found the notion of pouring out feelings on pen and paper absolutely fascinating. I've teamed up with Smythson to celebrate the art of hand written letters this Valentines and I've hand written one of my favourite poems by George Elliot. I discovered it in Love Letters of Great Men, vol 2 Poems, a beautiful little book I pinched of my flatmate Lizzy. Full the likes of William Blake and Lord Byron, it truly is a wonderful collection of love poetry.
So, rather than write a love letter of my own, I had a Big from Sex and The City moment and chose to hand write one of my favourites. When I do so much online and trying from a keypad, taking the time to write on a piece of paper is a luxury, and honestly quite theraputic. And, as you've probably seen from my instagram, I'm a bit of a notebook and journal fiend so it's about time I start filling them with things like this. Smythson have a wonderful collection of leather diarys, so if you fancy writing something romantic for yourself or a loved one this Valentines, be sure to check them out.
Hope you enjoyed this post as part of my Valentines series and I hope I've inspired you to put pen to paper!
