My grandmother used to harp on me about “kids handwriting today….” on a regular basis. But she kind of had a point. She had a beautiful script, whereas mine is a hodge podge combination of capital letters and lowercase, half cursive, half print. It’s a lost art, is it not? I’ve thought many times about enrolling in a calligraphy class, it’s just so beautiful, and it seems like it might be a bit relaxing. An art class of sorts, don’t you think?

Hello there! I'm Allison Czarnecki, founder + editor of Petit Elefant, a blog all about style on a budget for every part of your life: style / home / travel / family. I do a lot of how-to beauty + style tutorials, travel posts, easy recipes, home remodel projects, and cool DIY crafts you totally want to try. I'm super happily married (to a hot Polish immigrant) and am the mother of two kids, a daughter and son, all of whom are featured here on the regular. We live in the country but we're a little bit rock + roll. Welcome!
It’s true! My handwriting is much the same–a hybrid, if you will. Penmanship is no longer part of curriculum in schools–too much other stuff to get in the way. I think a class would be a great idea.
I love calligraphy! I recently took a class at the college and it has made me more conscientious of my penmanship. I wish I had more time to dedicate to this lost art!
Come take a look at my wedding stuff…
