Louise Fili’s 2012 Love stamp: Four lovely letters

[Alyson Kuhn] Louise Fili’s first thought when she received the inquiry in 2009 about designing a Love stamp was, “How can I design something so small for a subject so large?” Fili was in Paris at the time and happened to be immersed in research for a book she was working on with her husband, Steven Heller. Fili’s 2012 Love stamp debuted late last week.

No surprise here, we advocate for personal correspondence, love letters, and thank-yous. No matter your age or career, everyone appreciates a thoughtful note, even comedian Jimmy Fallon. So we were happy to discover René Shimada Siegel’s short and sweet article on Inc. on the importance of writing thank-you notes, especially in this digital age.

When the sender is a busy executive, handwritten notes are so remarkable that they easily earn awe and admiration.” Read the full article here. [SJ]
