I have always loved stationery. I can still recall the vast amount of letters I sent my middle school friend while passing each other down the hall. If I recall correctly, we would write at least 4 letter a day to each other. Hey, what better way to spend our time during class (we were both very good students, her a little bit more than I was). So imagine how many letters we saved in one semester alone!
My love for stationery has only grown ever since. My only problem is that I love stationery so much that I do not want to use it! Silly, but oh so true.
Just recently I came upon Carde Blanche which reminded me of the simplicity and beauty stationery can impart to a heart felt letter. Snail mail has slowed down since Facebook and Twitter made it easy to stay in contact. But I still prefer a handwritten letter over a tweet, status, or email any time of the day! It is just more personalized and sincere.

I love paper and pens too. Not as much as my mom though – she gets so excited for “back to school” sale days because of the sales on paper.
This stationary looks beautiful. I don’t use stationary very often any more, but it is nice to have some when needed.
Nothing is classier than a personal letter on beautiful stationary. These cards are darling.
I love stationary! Too bad I don’t write on it as much as send e-mails, do Facebook and text. But I do want to try more. And I love love love me a good gel pen
I have fond memories of writing letters to camp pen-pals and always choosing fun stationary to send. Writing letters is a lost art!
