What We Moderns Forget: Envelopes
The letter had been lost for 450 years. It’s envelope had gotten stuck under the inside flap of an old ledger box. No museum archivist had noticed it until Will Sainsbury came along to do a little research of his own.
I must have edited that scene fifteen to twenty times, before it occurred to me that a letter written in the era of Elizabeth the First would probably not have been enclosed in an envelope,
Back in ancient days of BCE, Babylonians and Chinese people are known to have provided protective wrappings for some communications. It’s not totally beyond the realms of possibility others throughout the ages sometimes protected something important.
But we better just fold up Will’s letter, seal it, and push it in under the lid.

Planners are Liminal Spaces : From Everyday to Imagined
![]() |
My Erin Condren Catchall Planner Earlier This Week |
#Planners are also #LiminalSpace - Because they lead from my everyday world to a mystic land, where I get everything done as imagined.
I adorn my #decoratedPlanner weekly, with collages of favorite designs, photos, stickers, and flip-back windows that hide private ideas. A washi tape hinge allows the decorative paper to flip back, so I can write private plans and ideas underneath.

Dog's Eye View of Liminal Space
Jasper* finds it between sea and shore in History Rich Half Moon Bay, CA
*If you're looking to be rescued by a dog, check Jasper's first home at Tiramisu Dog Rescue. They saved him from, what would have been, a very short life on the streets, And he was cared for and trained extremely well.
