Words, silly. And stamps. But we must have something to put the words and stamps on. It doesn't have to be paper. You can mail quite a few objects which are not paper. I am currently reading an interesting book about a man who experimented with the limits of the British postal service around the turn of century.
I myself am a great fan of postcards. I send lots and lots of them. A good piece of stationary, however, makes it ever so nice to sit down and write a card or letter. A little while back, I happened upon a company called Pounding Mill Press, and fell in love with the beautiful creations that Ming, the owner, sells. I ordered some things both general and custom, and I couldn't be more pleased with the product. It has made it all the more fun to sit down and write a note. It arrived in short time and I piled it up greedily, before opening each box:
I personally love the product, and will order more (I also like that the company is small, independent, and based in my home town). There are a million and one awesome people making beautiful cards and letters, and there is of course the fun of making your own. One of my pen pals recently bought some customized stationary that is gorgeous to both sight and touch. I think one of the best things about nice stationary is that it is an indulgence which you will share with many friends.
