When putting it on my 25 before 25 list, I had a number of reasons why I included "to purchase stationery." While email and text are convenient and instant, I still enjoy sitting down to hand write a note to someone. This holds especially true when it comes to a thank you, whether it be personal or professional.

Having stationery on hand also helps me to send said thank you notes in a timely fashion. It never fails that when I need a card, I don't have one, which means a trip to the store, finding time to go to said store, etc. Now that problem is eliminated. The only problem I have now is wanting to buy every bit of pretty, especially personalized, paper I see.

| Cards from Papyrus. |
My favorite place to buy cards lately has been Papyrus; they are just so detailed and pretty! And what better place than Etsy for personalized stationery! I have been so happy with the ones I've purchased so far, and look forward to buying more. Here are a few of my favorite designs:
1. Personalized Note Cards: Naomi Lynn
(I have these for "professional" correspondence. HIGHLY recommend.)

2. Thinking of You Note Cards: Fiona Designs

4. Macaron Thank You Cards: River and Bridge
5. Coco Note Cards: Brittany Fuson
Where do you shop for stationery? Do you enjoy handwriting notes?
Those macaron ones are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteAren't they? The colors are just so perfect! Macarons have that affect on me.

I want to buy it all!
DeleteI love writing letters–it's always more meaningful! I don't have personalized stationary, but I have cards from Kate Spade and Riffle Paper Co. that I love using!

There's still time then! Or 30 before 30!
DeleteI love papyrus, but it's so expensive! I've never shopped etsy for cards before, I'll have to go hunting around there next time.

Papyrus cards are! I save them for super special occasions/people.
DeleteI LOVE stationary. If you haven't checked them out, you should look into Rifle & Co. They seem to be right up your alley.
ReplyDeletePapyrus does have beautiful cards, but they are pretty expensive. I bought some there a few months ago and it was 5 for the price of 4. Still expensive, but I got a Valentine's card for my sweetheart and I have been holding onto it ever since. Can't wait to give it to him next week!
I will definitely check out Rifle&Co.! I hope your sweetheart loves the card! They are expensive but so beautiful!
DeleteI love stationery!! I also love Papyrus. I have so many cards that I actually didn't buy any last year. And then I was out of the country so I didn't get to write and mail Christmas cards :/
ReplyDeletePapyrus is expensive but I often buy in bulk post-season or when they have sales so that I'm not pressured. I make sure I have wedding, baby, birthday, thank you, Christmas and plain cards.
I'm old school with it though - I use fountain pens 95% of the time that I write anything. I have about eight bottles of ink to go through and 6 pens, three currently in rotation :)
