Envelopes: Prepped to Seal, Stamp, and Send
September 19, 2013 § 2 Comments
It’s almost time!
This type-in and letter-writing social is a creative collaboration between Thread Lock Press, typewriter-enthusiast and letterpress printer, and Scribbling Glue, letter-writing champion and envelope-pusher. They are out to reintroduce people to old techniques for creating new and improbable connections.
– event mission statement for Chestertown’s Type-In and Letter Writing Social, Round 2
In anticipation, Lindsay and I got together this week to finish prepping envelopes. Due to the time and space constraints that come along with presenting this event at the Chestertown Book Festival, we decided to pre-cut handmade envelopes so people can assemble and embellish without having to start completely from scratch. The result of our flurry of cutting is that we have 70+ envelopes just waiting to be filled with literary musings and bookish thoughts by Book Festival attendees who find the sound of clattering typewriters sufficiently distracting to wander away from the Bookmakers and Writers Exhibition Hall long enough to record their own thoughts to be sealed, stamped, and sent.
From animals, trains, and nuns to sunsets, fairy tales, and airplanes, a wide variety of envelopes will be available to suit different moods and strike proper tones.
We hope to see you there!

Enjoyed this very much. I am a cardmaker, scrapbooker, journal keeping kind of lady so this is “write” up my alley! Thank you!
So glad you stopped by and enjoyed! The best part of the day was connecting with enthusiastic, creative people — thank *you* for being one of them.
