“I have now attained the true art of letter-writing, which we are always told, is to express on paper exactly what one would say to the same person by word of mouth." - Jane Austen, extract from a letter to her sister Cassandra 
 

 
 
This winter “Bridgerton” has taken our Netflix screens by storm- many people binge watched the series....it probably made them forget their lives in times of covid.

The series based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling novels is set in high society Regency London.  It recounts the story of the Bridgerton children, making their way as debutants in court and trying to find love. There is intrigue, there is love and sex and lots of beautiful costumes and people to look at.
 
There is also a lot of secret letters- and hiding of letters, I won’t reveal any of the plots lines because I wouldn’t want to spoil anything but they do play a big role in the storyline.
 
 
Letters really connect us to others and truly become a keepsake, so now that travel is still a little difficult for a little while- why not send an old fashioned style letter. It’s time to sit down and write down our feelings, recount good memories and give a truly unique gift. The fact that a letter is so unexpected is sure to charm.
 
At My Billet Doux- we make luxury silk cushions with antique ribbons and with a secret pocket to hide these “sweet notes”, to write, to receive more…It’s a little secret place where words can be just ours….
 
At My Billet Doux we believe that everyone can write or even draw, everyone can touch someone’s heart which just a few beautiful words or pictures- it’s the time spent and the intention that really matters. Any time that takes us away from our screens for a little while is surely a good thing- do you agree?

We have created cushions with beautiful silks, antique and vintage fabrics and exquisit ribbons from our collection. Each one is unique just as we are.
