Uguisu

I will let you see the contents of my shopping cart at Uguisu before they become my oh- my- goodness- look- at- my- new- beautiful- craft- supplies.

(which also happens to be the same as i-just-spent-all-my-money-on-new-craft-supplies).

snail mail via email

now before you get excited, as i did when i saw this, you must know that this is just a concept by some syracuse students.  having that said, i’m really hoping that something like this happens even though it really serves no purpose other than giving me joy every time i get mail.  the idea is that you can send mail through your gmail account and it will be sent in letter form through usps, with the super cool map envelopes that pinpoint exactly where it was sent from.

until then, it would be a fun project to do yourself.

more than a rolodex

i used to walk by some of my coworker’s desks with envy every time i spotted one of these address files from lovely design…they were so much more fun than my plain black rolodex from w.b. mason.

and now you can get a fancy assortment of cards to fill up your fancy address file too!

searching for a zip code has never been so fun.

rifle paper co.

i am very excited that anna from rifle paper co. has their new online shop up and running in time for the holidays, just in time for christmas cards and thank you notes.

i love their old-timey whimsical designs.

ooh-la la!

sometimes i think that i could solely get by on just a few simple french phrases.

now, thanks to darling clementine’s little french note cards, i don’t even have to say them.

cynthia warren

i just stumbled across the designs of cynthia warren on the delightful blog design is mine… which immediately led me to her website… which immediately provoked me to mention her on mine (oh the cyclical life of a blog post).

well, if ever i need an invitation conjured up, i believe i will give CW a call, as each design proves to be more enjoyable than the last.

enjoy.

mean mean mean cards

i realize, of course, that i have been a little neglectful of my job as blog “owner” the past week.  you see, i have currently: 1. quit my job 2. packed up my apartment 3. moved across country.

but there is no need to send me one of these mean cards (inside: neglect has led to several dismissals) as i promise to be more diligent about posting.

i mean, if you did happen to send me one of those, i would only be forced to  send you this one:

everything from save-the-dates to posters to thank you cards to illustrations are available from rifle design.  although the online shop is still on its way, it should prove to be a fun one.
