Today's mail held a happy parcel for me. I received my order from Letter Seals. I am fond of wax seals and my recent return to envelope making requires more wax sticks. Letter Seals offers several brands of sealing wax including J. Herbin and Waterstons. I personally have settled on their own Letter Seals label. They offer a good, mailable wax, a variety of colors and the best value for the dollar. If you have not yet been acquainted with Letter Seals, please pay them a visit. They even offer free shipping on US orders of $20. ![]() Their site says all orders are wrapped in tissue and ribbon, a ready made gift. Opening a white mailer with a gift inside somehow offered more pleasure than opening a mailer with standard wrapping inside. Please note that I had opened and rewrapped this little bundle. Letter Seals did a better job of wrapping than I did. ![]() I ordered two kinds of wax. The tall sticks are made for use in a glue gun. It is real wax, not faux, and very easy to use, especially when sealing multiple letters. The shorter, wicked sticks are melted with a flame. They require more patience. I use the glue gun for Classic Red, the color I use most often. It's just easier to use the same color in the gun. For more novel colors I use the wicked wax. I ordered two violets, a dark metallic blue, pink and black. I used the black stick today on a white cotton envelope. The result is classy. If you are not a sealing wax user I encourage you to give it a try. It's a nice touch.
