It's hard to tell, since we don't get very cold temperatures down in Florida! LOL!<BR/><BR/>Hannah,<BR/>I think my copybook would be full of blots, too! :) I got a book on calligraphy with a gift certificate, and found one on copperplate as well, so we'll see how that goes.<BR/><BR/>Sommer and Charity Grace,<BR/>I'm so glad that you are teaching your children good penmanship! It's nice to know that the art of writing hasn't died out yet.<BR/><BR/>Yours in Christ,<BR/>Shannon~ Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882650511821959701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-43756457971533074362008-01-29T11:01:00.000-08:002008-01-29T11:01:00.000-08:00I love old writing (and old books) too!

It is a shame that we do not put as much emphasis on it today.<BR/>I actually am teaching my girls(and eventually my little man) to have good penmanship. I have them do copywork weekly and hope that it will encourage a love of fine writing.<BR/><BR/>I still would love to learn caligraphy myself...one more thing...<BR/><BR/>Lots of love,<BR/>SommerSommerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173085478959089587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-53251242503622652332008-01-21T23:24:00.000-08:002008-01-21T23:24:00.000-08:00I love to look at the beautiful writing in antique...I love to look at the beautiful writing in antique books too. It always amazed how thin the letters are! My mother has a bunch of calligraphy pens (the kind that you fill from the ink well) and so I try to them out now and then. I LOVE the ones with thin nibs. If I was learning them as a part of my education my copy book would be full of blots!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-54377110890902716812008-01-21T14:14:00.000-08:002008-01-21T14:14:00.000-08:00I know I've just about never commented on your blo...I know I've just about never commented on your blog, but I had to today. I recently discovered an inscription in my sister's paperback copy of Sense & Sensibility. As soon as I saw your post, I thought of it. I probably should take a photo of it and post it on my blog. <BR/><BR/>It makes me want to inscribe all the books I give away. :-)<BR/><BR/>Oh! And thank-you so much for the lovely scarf! It is perfect, goes so beautifully with my purple coat. And it has been keeping me nice and toasty in the 8 degree temps!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055678421339871259noreply@blogger.com
