Old Timey

My friend introduced me to historical fiction recently. Now I have to read every book by Philippa Gregory and authors like her. They get a little racy but that never hurt anyone ;) So in those books they're always talking about sealing wax and letters with seals so I thought it would be fun to try. I had no clue they still sold wax seals at Michaels and that it was a popular thing to do on wedding invitations. That's where I bought my sealing wax. I bought a vintage brass seal from England(on EBAY). I guess if you're going to do it you might as well make it authentic. I thought it would be fun to occasionally send real letters instead of email all the time. I burnt my paper to make it look old. So here's how mine turned out and my mess to go along with it.
