Send me a Card...Pop it in an Envelope!

Victoria and Albert Museum

I live my life surgically attached to an email box. I think at last count I have 7 email addresses that actually get used, you can get dizzy hopping from one to the other and sometimes I forget which box I am in. Strange life for someone who loves all things paper. I still have the very first birthday, holiday and Valentine cards I ever received. I have cards from so many who are no longer with me but I have their notes and their love in an envelope forever, can't get that with an email!

True,there are some fun e-card sites-Do visit Ojolie, Jacquie Lawson and someecards-quick, easy and a good way to say "Hi I'm thinking of you"...but remember you cannot put an e-card on a mantle!

I know Hallmark has the monopoly but go for the art of the card.

I adore Letterpress, hand printed on antique presses like these from Museum Facsimiles

Cards are one of my favorite parts of the holidays and I start my holiday card search in July...there are so many fun, inspired, elegant, charming and wonderful options. So what is so difficult about signing your name with a gorgeous pen, licking an envelope and placing a fun stamp and dropping it in a mailbox-remember those?? You may just remember how nice it feels to write full length sentences again... MOMA
