Lovely Fabric Envelopes!

I'm always on the hunt for creative (and pretty!) options for storing cards and little notes — particularly options that don't involve just putting the cards in a box but aren't quite as time consuming as a scrapbook (someday, hopefully!).  So when I saw these beautiful fabric envelopes from Tuuni, my heart did a tiny little flip:

Aren't they pretty?  And so many colors!  Check them all out right here.

NSS Bound – Carta, Inc.

Now that the stationery show is just over a week away, I'm getting more and more excited to see the new stationery designs and collections from some of my favorite designers who will be exhibiting at the show.  Angela Liguori from Carta, Inc. sent over a sneak peek at her new line called Francobolli — which means "stamp" in Italian, a fitting name as each card features a vintage postage stamp:

In addition to the vintage stamps, each card features hand lettering in black ink on Italian Rossi paper — with a total of 24 cards in the collection.  I can't wait to see them all in person!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  I'm so incredibly excited for this weekend to start because my mom is coming to visit me!  It'll be nice to have her up here for a few days — I've got a full weekend planned full of antique shopping and farmer's markets, not to mention showing her around my new neighborhood!  So I'm running off a bit early to go meet her at the airport, but in the meantime…

Let-us-be-kind

…a few links for your weekend!

That's it for me this week!  I hope you all have a lovely weekend, and I'll see you back here on Monday!
