Aged Love Letters

I love to send letters. I send letters to my friends, my family and my husband. Always send your letters through the mail. It makes people smile. When I write letters to my husband, I age them. I get fine paper. I brew a VAT of black tea, or sometimes coffee, but I find that black tea works best. You pour the tea on a baking sheet and rest the papers in the tea for 15 minutes, one at a time. Hang them above your sink to dry (be careful, tea will stain tile and counter tops). Use a lighter to LIGHTLY burn the edges. Pull off any hanging burned paper. Write your letter with a felt tipped or calligraphy pen. The extra effort is worth it.
