Since I was a little girl, I have always been fond of the written word. Inevitably, it has became a little habit of mine to fastidiously remember and keep little quotes, poems or lyrics that I adored - mainly F. Scott Fitzgerald, T.S Eliot, and Anais Nin, but the list has since grown. I would jot them in dog-eared books (the black notebooks of my youth), secret love letters that were often never s
ent, the edges of napkins in restaurants, little bits of paper to be slipped into drawers and pockets... Even the subconscious recollection of a certain phrase is often sufficient to bring back a flood of associated memories. Recently, I came into possession of an exquisite 1920s Royal jet black typewriter, and it came to mind to provide hand typed or personally crafted quotes, poems, or letters on a commission basis, for any person who may be like me - in love with bygone times. There is still something innately romantic about receiving a little type-written note from a loved one from far-away, or keeping a little personal source of framed inspiration close by. Please contact me by private message on this page if you would like to request for a commission. I offer a range of enveloped note options (SGD$5.50, USD$4.50) [note on textured paper of your choice enclosed in a coloured pearl or matte black envelope], small quote or note sized framed options (starting from SGD$11.50, USD$9.00)[see the 'Frames' album], A4 poetry or letter options (from SGD$18, USD$15) and will endeavour to accomodate other custom size requests. I ship locally or internationally by standard or tracked mail, and can do meetup requests in Singapore for framed or larger orders as well. Shipping costs vary depending on the type of order [Eg. SGD$1 for an enveloped note, SGD$2 for a plain black framed note in Singapore; USD$2.50 for an enveloped note, USD$9 for a plain black framed note to the United States], but I will endeavour to ship as cheaply as possible. I accept payment by direct bank transfer for local orders or paypal (will include a paypal charge of SGD$1). I can include a small note or message behind the quote/frame in gold ink, please let me know if you would like to request for this option. Depending on my schedule or volume of orders, I will usually endeavour to complete your order in 1-2 weeks. Please let me know if you require your item on an urgent basis, in which case an additional charge may apply. I have added some albums of suggestions of my favourite quotes or letters that you can commission for your little creation! Please feel free to create your custom quote or note for your keeping. If you need more ideas, please contact me by private message so I can suggest more quotes from my personal database, or write a personal note for you (think Daydream Illusion from Before Sunrise!). I keep my quotes/poems along the following categories: Ambition, Cats, Cool quotes, Curiosity & Adventure, Cute quotes, Death, Discipline, Dreaming, Drinking, Epiphany, Friendship, Growing Old, Hello & Goodbye, Insults, Learning, Literature, Living, Loneliness, Longing, Love, Maybe & Regret, Memory, Passion, Photography, Thinking of You, Principles of Living, Travel, Wild Spirit.
