The hydrangeas I stole picked yesterday from my neighbor's garden are the exact same color as my Nile Blue Smythson's stationary
makes me almost forget the fence full of lilacs I had in Connecticut which must now be in bloom
they go well on top of my desk, purchased in Pakistan years ago (it's rosewood)
In 1986, on a trip to London, I purchased my personal business stationary from this venerable stationery shop. They made a mistake and must have tripled the order for I now have stationary with my old New York business address coming out of my ears. If I write you a note, you can bank it will be on this stationery. I'm planning on leaving it to my grandchildren with instruction of keeping it in the family until it runs out.
