New Product Alert :: Custom Notepads

Custom notepads are now available on my Etsy shop! The Cavalcade was a great spring board for these. Lots of interest!

Here are the current options:

Listing 1: Monogram at the top.

Much like my traditional monogram notecards, this notepad features your choice of traditional monogram designs. Choose from 1 of 3 designs (see below!), pick your ink color & your notepad will be in your hands in 2-3 weeks (depending on the day you place your order). The top picture of this post is a great example of the final product. I love using it!

Listing 2: Personalization at the bottom.

This is the design I use at my house! The Personalized Notepad with your name! Choose from 6 designs, all of which will be centered on the bottom of the notepad. You could use your name, your address...your choice! Pick your ink color & wait with baited breath for your notepad to arrive.

Choose your color

I could do this in any color of the rainbow...and then some. But, to make things easier, I've made a chart of colors to choose from. Doing this for a wedding? If you have a PMS color you're trying to match, just send me the swatch number!

Either design makes a great gift & faster turnaround is always possible. Check out these & a few other notepad options in the Notepad section of my Etsy shop. Oh! And! Look for listings on the smaller sizes coming soon.

{post}Cards of the Week

{Happy Sailing / kraft postcards by One Fine Dae}

 On our recent trip to Puerto Rico, I looked all over for postcards to bring or send home. Found none. Zero. Zilch. Nada...well, none that my highly-evolved taste deemed worthy of my family & friends (not to mention postage. Ye-gads!).

So, to Etsy I went to find out of postcards can still be cool. The answer is yes!

  {Fine Art Postcards Set of 4 - "The Traveller"}

This set of 4 postcards is made from the fine art photographs from the proprietor of Jackdaw Boutique on Etsy, Louise Knight-Richardson of Chichester, England. I especially love the clouds & Fly Away cards in this set. You could send them from anywhere.

{Bon Voyage / Mixed Set of Postcards by One Fine Dae}

By land or by sea or by air, this super cute postcard set covers all your travel bases. Linda of One Fine Dae paints these on chipboard. Adorable!! Each design also comes in it's own set. Might order the Happy Sailing set (pictured up top) for our trip to Key West in 2 weeks. Oh wait, in 1 week. Yikes!

{Paris travel postcard set- Paris street photography cards- Colorful photography with Paris streets- Eiffel Tower by Visionary Fish}

Last year my in-laws went to Paris for the first time. Many of their Christmas & birthday presents leading up to their trip were all French focused. These would have been a great addition to their lot. I LOVE the photos. And, when I think about it, isn't that what most postcards are?? I always look for fabulous photographs of the place I'm visiting, the kind I would, for whatever reason, not have been able to take myself. These are from the photography shop Visionary Fish by Adina Rafaila who is a photography student from Romania. Her Etsy shop is to help pay for her studies in the UK. Good luck Adina!!

{Personalized Travel Postcards by Not So Modern Millie}

These cards are from Camille at Not So Modern Millie of Windemere, FL. She has an adorable shop - love the cross stitch - that includes these generic & fun postcards. Send them from anywhere...or no where. You get to decide as the destinations choices are all customizable & chosen by you. Great gift for anyone you know that will be backpacking this summer.

Anyone have any more get-a-ways planned this winter? Spring Break coming up?

Cards of the Week :: Back to School

(Teacher Silhouette Notecards - Set of 8 by Pop Heart Press)

Ok, vacation is over. Time to get back to everyone's normal routine & for me, that means back to end of the week posts about fun stationery/products. Cards of the Week!

Cards of the Week - Stationery Fit for a Man!

Hi all! Since today is Father's Day, stationery for guys has been on my brain. Let's take a look at a few things...

Today's cards are all from Red Stamp.com. Haven't been back there in a while, but I've had a BLAST playing with their iPhone app. I highly recommend it for fun birthday messages, plus it's one of the few greeting card apps you can add photos too (that I've found, anyway.)

{Bow Tie Icon Personalized Stationery :: Large Flat Card}

Mr. B would love these, as do I. Kinda giddy about them actually. Perfect for anything, though it seems to me they would be great for thank you notes after a dinner party. Or to dash off a quick invite to one - they are for a somewhat traditional man with a great sense of humor. Perhaps I am just describing my husband...

{Trophy Buck Men's Modern Personalized Stationery :: Large Flat Card}

For the outdoors man in all males, this is a cool take on a trophy. Even if taxidermy isn't your thing.

{Modern Diagonal Block Personalized Stationery :: Large Flat Card}

Per the usual, these are just a smattering of the offerings at RedStamp. Etsy has some interesting things as well, including return address stamps that look very manly. Check out my search here.

Guys - what do you think? Any of this suit your fancy? Seriously if there are any men reading, I'd love to know if you have stationery & what it looks like. Or if you don't have any, what would convince you to use some. Inquiring minds want to know!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
