Have a Card on hand for All Occasions

Rebecca — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:47:00 +0000

I imagine we’ve all been there. An occasion calls for a card and we’ve waited until the last minute to buy one. During moments like that we can either: Be late to the party by making an emergency stop at the nearest superstore… Write a message on a plain note card or piece of paper… Show up [...]

Christmas Thank You Card for Kids: Postcard

Rebecca — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:30:08 +0000

I just ran across these Holiday Thank You postcards designed specifically for kids to fill out and send after the Holiday Season. I think they are FANTASTIC! They are simple, inexpensive and attractive to a little one. Kids are never to young to learn the act of writing a Thank You note and these little [...]

New Year Cards, that’s right, Christmas isn’t even here yet, but there’s no better time than now to buy your New Year Cards and get to writing and stamping. New Year Cards are another one of those opportunities to reach out through the snail mail that I believe is often overlooked. No doubt about it [...]

Personalized Stationery For Kids

One of my friends recently asked me about personalized stationery for kids. Specifically, for her daughter who is 9 years old. First off, it’s always time to get young kids in the habit of writing little notes for any reason. Giving the young ones personalized stationery will help add a degree of ‘mine’ to the [...]

Cavallin Leather Journal for the Writer in You

Rebecca — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 17:23:26 +0000

I could own a hundred of these journals. But for now, I own 3 ~ Three because I like to write different themes into each separate journal and these journals represent the ‘final draft’ or final word of anything I’ve been working on. Mixing various writing styles into one expensive leather journal feels all wrong (to me) [...]

I absolutely love this postcard set. I first discovered them a few years ago and not a season has gone by that I haven’t grabbed a couple of these sets of postcards to add to my holiday correspondence cache. The picture will never do it justice, but there is glitter (not at all in a [...]

I get a lot of search traffic looking for what I consider the Holy Grail of writing stationery—Italian Amalfi Handmade Stationery. If you’ve come here wondering about it, let me tell you, there is nothing like Amalfi paper. It’s divine to the touch. It takes the ink from almost any type of pen like water [...]
