kinda chic that I get paid to make people cry over kinda chic that I get paid to make people cry over an envelope.This job is a lot of small, unglamorous things. Ink smudges. Redoing a line six times. Answering emails at 11pm during busy season. But it is also this. Handwriting that means something. Paper that gets kept.(And okay, maybe a few of those envelopes were addressed to myself. No shame.)I would not trade it.Tag a couple who deserves handwriting like this!Styled shoot
