What excellent thoughts on the value of beauty and old-fashioned things! I, too, mourn the way that society mocks traditional values, and how everything being mass-produced rather than handmade means that our everyday objects are less personal and simply utilitarian -- "designed for robots," as you so aptly described it.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the postcard! I appreciate you for recommending my blog, and thank you for all the loveliness you share -- keep it up! <3
"But society has gone too far in mocking traditional values and slowly pushing things to look like it was designed for robots.
"And it’s quite a lovely thought that, besides how pretty old-fashioned items and values are themselves, the reason they draw and hold attention is, I think, rooted in The Creator of the universe who gave us the eye to appreciate life and beauty. Modern inventions lack the touch of humanity that older things possess, whether because they are handmade or due to the intricate and intentional detail of how they are designed. And it makes one wonder if the absence of a general knowledge that God has breathed life into us and given us the gift to create lovely things, plays a part in it.
PREACH IT, GIRLIE!
You have no idea how happy that old-fashioned ramble made me 🥰
Your monthly post are always so beautiful, Lily! I love how excited you are about the gathering of things that are old and beautiful. I've caught it too, in recent months. XD I'd love to wear one of those dresses you shared!
