Hallmark

My sanctuary as a child, was the Hallmark shop in Galleria. All those postcards meant so much to me. All the glitter on the Christmas and Birthday cards. The elegance and elaboration and thought put into crafted paper. I wanted to have lots of money so I could delve into Hallmark and buy all the postcards that I liked, so that I wouldn't have to pick among my favorites.
I still keep my Hallmark pieces in my collection of postcards. I loved spreading out my "collection" some nights and going through them one by one. Listening to little songs out of the musical ones.
Now that I think about it, I was a funny child indeed.
