It started with a surprise apple pie with three candles in it. The traditional birthday song was sung, the candles were blown out and a gift was given.
I’ll be getting two letters a month for a year, the so-called “Flower Letters.” I’d seen this advertised on Instagram before. It’s an intriguing idea, somewhat on the order of a subscription to a story that you receive in installments. My family chose a storyline for me that takes place in England during the Jane Austen era, which will include elements of romance and mystery, all within the context of what was happening in history at that time.
The first letter has already arrived, coming in an attractive tin which will hold all of the letters.
The portrait in the photo above represents the young man who wrote the letter, a fellow named Phineas. There will also be 12 attractive postcards that I can use to send to others. I’m looking forward to seeing the story unfold.
What a unique and delightful gift!
I’ll probably put this in a blog post tin in the morning.

Oh, my goodness! Your family shares your creative gift of a prosaist! I do hope you will share some of the drama as it unfolds!

Well, they aren’t actually writing the letters, they just signed me up to receive them. Or isn’t that what you meant? Anyway, the letters will be lots of fun and I’ll be glad to share as I go along, but just privately so as not to ruin the fun of someone else who might like to get the same letters! ❤️😊

Oh, I thought your family was doing the writing (That’s a lot of work!). Whatever you decide to share will be lovely and we look forward to reading all about it!
