my beloved sealing wax and seals. as a teenager nothing
was more important to me than a properly signed and
sealed letter to a friend.....colored inks and stationary
and the news of the day tucked into an envelope with
a plop of wax and the seal of choice to protect those
contents. i treasured these so. the aromatherapy.
then over years, decoupage,ceramics and rubber stamps
moved in and pushed the seals & wax to the background...
only to be found again for this edition of studio friday !

I hope I spelled renissance right???? Yikes
Oh wow, these are sooo precious! One of my dreams as a huge letter writer is a sealed one with wax. How I wished as a teenager to have one or to get a letter with it, wow! As time went by I had forgotten about it and now I don't write many letters anymore by hand. It's an almost lost art I think.
I am glad you found them again and kept them so well in that bowl!! :-)
Little plops of sealing wax fascinate me.
sealing wax always reminds me of puff the magic dragon!
love the old school look and feel of sealing wax...you should totally bring it back into cache, denise!
oh my goodness. i forgot all about seals and wax. i have some around here somewhere...
I have never done this, and I really want to try someday.
beautiful seals, hope you will start using them again soon now that you've found them again! some peolple of today really know how to cherish a REAL letter (like me!). :-)
nicly written too!
I love sealing wax... a great way to make your mail special. Sometimes the old ways are so much better then the new ones.... it's time they invent a way to send email with personal wax seals on it ;-)
I have always been a huge fan of sealing wax, too! I loved the look of red sealing wax on brown packing paper most and always dreamed of getting a christmas parcel with a real seal and some red and white string wrapped around the parcel...oh, sweet memories!
