What a wonderful first exchange!

[LondonLaura]

Hello

This is the first time I’ve posted and the first time I’ve participated in an exchange. Thank you so much to Erica for organising.

I’ve just picked up from my doormat (on a very miserable rainy day in London) my first exchange envelope. Wow! I’m blown away by the quality and by the thoughtfulness. It’s a really wonderful thing that a complete stranger from across the world has taken the time and trouble to send me such a thing of beauty.

I’d like the contact the person who sent it via this board to thank them if possible but a search of members doesn’t bring them up by name so I’m hoping that Nicole in Austin Texas will know who she is and know how much I appreciate her artistry and kindness.

Much love from London, UK!

Laura

Hi Laura,
What a wonderful first post. If you look on your list, the person’s Flourish Forum username is at the top of their address. You can use this to send a direct message on the forum to thank them if you’d like.

Hope you will receive mine soon!

I was about to say the same thing as Erica--I have a hunch that I know which Nicole in Austin it was ( @nicole.t ) since she and I are penpals, and her calligraphy is exceptional.  Hopefully this will allow you two to connect!

Best,
Robert

Y’all are making me blush! I’m glad you enjoyed the card, Laura and the note you left in my messages made my day!

I’ve been working hard to improve my letter forms so all of your compliments are very encouraging

Best,
Nicole

Thanks everyone for explaining how I can work out who is who. I’ve already signed up for my next exchange - can’t wait! And Erica, I’m very honoured to have been matched with you in my first exchange. It’s like calligraphy royalty...

That is so kind! Thank you!
