Letter #265 comes from Danya in Oregon.Danya typed us a lovely letter on the most beautiful paper that we'd love to know where she got it from with a beautiful stamp on it.Danya lives in Portland where it is filled with greenery all year.Most of the year it is quite rainy,which is why it stays so green.On fall and winter mornings,you wake up surrounded by fog on all sides and it is really beautiful.She says that summer is the most beautiful in Portland because it is very sunny and warm and always perfect weather for picnics and bike riding along the river,the Willamette.She said that Portland is a very outdoorsy city,people love doing outdoor activities since the weather is so beautiful.People enjoy biking,kayaking,hiking,camping,rock climbing,rafting,etc.She also said that she is not far from Mount Hood,the highest peak in Oregon at about 11,000 feet.On clear,sunny days,you get a beautiful view of the mountain.
Portland is also a very artsy city,with lots of musicians,writers,artists,DIY hobbyists and crafters.They are also well known for the most famous bookstore,Powells,where you can spend days searching their different rooms of books.We would love to stay there for a few days and absorb the smell of new books and turn the pages of all those great books.We do not want to embrace the kindle....we love the feel and look of books too much. :) There are also many great coffee shops (which is a great place for most people to go when it's raining).Her favorite coffee shop is Stumptown's,which is one of the most widely served coffees in the city.
Along with Danya's lovely letter,she enclosed some tickets and postcards of Powells and Mount Hood,which can be seen below:

That is really pretty paper! I love the elephant in the corner.
ReplyDeleteIt's more beautiful in person...I wish I knew where she got it from.I was amazed that she could type on it b/c it seemed so fragile.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Bree. Is Oregon located in the US? Is it a state?
ReplyDeleteYes,Oregon is a state in the US. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope she lets us all know where she got that lovely paper! I love stationery and it's so hard to find papers like this nowadays.

Hi everyone! I bought the paper in New York, where I am originally from, at one of the many Tibetan shops there. The paper is from India or Nepal, so if you ever run across a Nepali, Tibetan, or Indian shop, that's most likely where you'll find similar paper. It's very beautiful, and delicate, but you can type on it without any trouble with a typewriter. The pad that I bought has many different colored sheets, and each has a different symbol or picture in the corner. I'm glad you all enjoy it so much! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish I can go to New York to buy it :) it really is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for letting us know Danya....we were all so curious. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Danya! Maybe I can find some on the internet one day.
