  • 72 | 4 Timeless Secrets That Made Grandma's Handwriting Flowy and Beautiful
    Oct 13 2025

    Hey Mama,

    Do you have handwritten letters from grandma that you admire? Do you keep copies of older relatives handwriting? Did their penmanship make an impact in your life? Is your life goal to write like grandma?

    Today I'm sharing 4 secrets to learn the reason behind Grandma's awesome penmanship. Grandma lived in a time where handwriting was taught differently. She lived in a time where slowness and taking care was more valued. These "secrets" are sadly not emphasized anymore even though they will have a huge impact on handwriting.

    I know you understand the importance of handwriting and learning these secrets will give you hope that you CAN pass on your beautiful, flowy handwriting to the next generation.

    Your Calligrafriend,

    Joanna
