twenty-twenty one, we've been waiting for you
well, we almost made it and while a flip of the calendar doesn’t mean a radical change automatically happens, it sure does inspire and give fresh breath into new possibilities. and who wouldn’t want to feel that?
perhaps you also want to send this to someone to celebrate a new trip around the sun.
A2, extra thick, soft ivory, recycled cotton stock with blind impression flat notecard or print, comes with matching envelope.
send someone some inspiration and a much needed reminder that we can change and move forward at any time.

it’s been really nice to get in all the holiday cards this year, especially since the babes now are looking at them and recognizing the promise of new friends.
yet, i can never quite get it together to send out holiday cards myself - with the rush of the holiday small business season now coupled with the reality of two two year olds, i (gracefully?) fall into the category of the shoemaker who has no shoes. ha
BUT i can get behind a new year’s card, and would argue that they are almost more fitting this year than ever before. you don’t need a card of course to share the sentiment of a new start, but it is one of the thoughtful ways to do it.
i think if we can all do a little something for someone else that you care about during this new energy, then that would be a big way to move forward with optimism.
my own new year’s cards are available for you if you want to send one to a friend or get one for yourself as a reminder. they are A2, extra thick soft ivory recycled cotton stock, blind pressed. ….and only available until sunday, january 10th. they are limited, but they ship free and i can even write and send one out for you if you want pure ease.
other thoughtful things to do : send a text or note to a friend, share an article or photo that will inspire someone, make sure someone you know in georgia is voting warnock and ossoff into senate TODAY!
hope everyone and all that you know are still healthy and doing alright.
also make some time to read this year! and if you have (or know) a lil one….

sending a custom gift box of letterpressed stationery is one of my ultimate favorite gifts to give almost anyone. blank notecards can be used for any occasion and always come in handy.
what a better idea than to give someone the opportunity to connect with a friend or say thank you for something that meant something to them?
for this gift box, you can choose any one letter selected from the three different fonts and customize it to be on your favorite of our paper stocks in either black or blind letterpress. the letter will be printed in the lower right hand corner of the paper and gift box comes with 30 cards + matching envelopes. **please note the birch plywood boxes are unavailable at this time
please specify in the notes which letter, uppercase or lowercase and black or blind letterpress.
if you would like for me to ship this directly to the gift recipient, please mention so in the notes and I will be in touch to arrange! we can handwrite a note from you to place in the box and will leave out any receipts.
I am so, so grateful for all of your continued support and have some other exciting things in the near future to share with you. …so until then
two reminders : if you haven’t already added in your address to get a free notecard, do so here! and if you place an order and want to me to handwrite a note for you, do so here!
AND if you have an idea that you and I can collaborate, please let me know!
community is more important than ever right now.
as always,
megan
