keeping it old school

my husband and i are pretty old school when it comes to writing thank-you notes, letters, congrats cards, etc. we both believe that nothing can really take the place of a handwritten card or letter.

i'm a sometimes-designer, so i'll be making our new couples note cards, as well as personal stationary for us both (and really, really chic thank you cards for the wedding gift-givers)...BUT, that doesn't stop me from browsing one of my favorite sites, etsy.com, to scope out all of the delicious paper goods out there. here are some of my favs that I've tagged over the past couple of weeks.


totally loving this letterpress birthday card from the paper peony. this shop's goods totally rock my world. they are so modern, yet wonderfully sophisticated. what i love is that you can buy lots of different single card designs and keep them on hand for special occasions that arise.


i would be remiss if i didn't also share this GORGEOUS card, also from the paper peony. how chic is this?


now, this one isn't totally my style, but it doesn't mean i can't think it's super cute and fun. i have a friend for whom this card set is PERFECT. in fact, i've also favorited it so i can buy it for christmas for her! this set is just one of many chic, classy and fun products from etsy user avie.


i love this simple, yet bold design from enJOY design.


every time i think the bird motif is overdone, i see something adorable like this. it makes me think that the bird motif, when used creatively, is absolutely charming. this card is courtesy of armato designs and press.

when you see just how much cute stuff is out there, you realize that letter/card/thank you writing doesn't have to be a chore. it can be really fun!

btw, i'm an etsy junky, so expect more where this post came from!
