Love Letters (Ketty Lester) & Brass Desk Items

Dear Friend and Subscriber,

O.K. I feel I must confess that when it came to writing this post I was a little stumped. Having been married for 24 years it has been a while since I wrote any love letters. I decided instead to watch TV, hence the delay in posting. Flicking through the movie channels I stopped at a movie called "Blue Velvet" and started to watch it (once again). I love this movie for many reasons but mainly because it affords me a few glimpses of my home, ( much of it was shot in Wilmington NC) and I am currently in London (UK). Well by the end of the movie I had my inspiration thanks to Ketty Lester's fabulous rendition of the song "Love Letters" which is part of the soundtrack. So without further ado here are some of the great desk accessories available to help all of you when you do decide to write a letter (rather than emailing).

I should add that in my opinion letters still work better than emails when writing Love Letters. To help in your writing it is always a benefit if you have some of the following great writing accessories to hand:

If however you are like me and use regular office ball point pens or pencils then this Pencil Cup is a beautiful accessory. I am always scrambling to keep some semblance of order on my desk and this accessory gives me the perfect place to store all my various writing instruments.
Because of it's weight I sometimes also use it as a paper weight.
On the subject of tidy desks here are a couple of beautiful and functional accessories. The Pineapple Paper Clip is a sturdy example of understated elegance that gives any stack of papers the appearance of order.


Another of my favorites is the elegant Mail Holder which helps keep those unanswered (aka just received) envelopes in order, whilst adding a touch of class to your desk.



All the items shown in this post are sold at Http://BrassHomeDecor.com.
They also have both His and Hers Letter Openers as well as a Fox Letter Opener for all animal lovers and equestrian enthusiasts.
The hunting theme is continued in this range of Desk Items with two of my favorite accessories, which add a little fun to any desk top and always draw admiring comments from any visitors.
They are The Fox Stamp Dispenser



and the Fox Card Holder.






Well I am willing to bet that by now you have forgotten the title of this post, well there is no need to scroll up because here below is a short video to help inspire you when writing your love letters . Well I had hoped to include this fab video/song in my post but it seems I will have to make a seperate post for it, so please look for it just below this post. If you have not heard or seen this I heartily recommend watching it. Thank you.

Cheap and Cheerful Nautical Gift Ideas

Here are a few ideas for some relatively cheap gifts which can be used by a wide variety of people. Each And Every Piece Is 100% Unique And Hand-Finished - Each item is carefully sand cast in solid brass and then hand finished with traditional craftsmanship. This employs hand techniques that have been used for centuries. First the metal is poured into the hand made sand mould. After cooling the mould must be destroyed to remove the casting, so that each piece is unique. This gives our brass products a handmade look, not a factory one, reminiscent of the work done in colonial America.

For sailors and fishermen and one of my favorites (yes I own one) is the Shark Key Chain and Bottle Opener.


Staying with my Nautical theme look for this Anchor Bottle Opener

Also not shown here is another Nautical bottle opener The Ships Wheel Bottle Opener (Just click on the name to see it)
Finally one last Nautical Bottle Opener that always gets admiring comments from my guests (yes I do have one and no I don't spend all day drinking), is this Crab Bottle Opener




Well that's all for this post. Watch out for some more Nautical Brass posts as well as more general and useful products. Maybe I've been living by the sea too long. One last thought all these items are sold by a company that gives free shipping to residents of USA.
