Write This Down

1/11/2012

To say that I am stationary obsessed would be an understatement.  I have drawers dedicated to different types of stationary in our desk.  My mother instilled in me the importance of correspondence and thank you notes as a young child and I still write them diligently to this day.  To that end, I love to have pretty pieces of paper to write on; maybe it just makes me feel a little more fancy, but I like to think that the recipient appreciates it as well.  I have some personal favorite stationary sources: Crane & Co, Kate Spade, Vera Wang, Papyrus, Graphique de France, and Erin Condren to name a few.  I also find value in having personalized stationary made; Check of Sugar Paper, Erin Condren, and Crane & Co for fantastic and unique products for perfect personalization.   My other recommendation is to find local stores that offer stationary.  I find some of my most favorite items from places that are local storefronts.



Added bonus, this week is National Letter Writing Week so pick up a piece of paper and write a quick note to a friend just to say hi.  Messages via Facebook and Twitter, that was so 2011.

    I am stationary obsessed too. I think it's partly due to what you said- my mom always telling me how important it is to write thank yous and partly due the the fact that I appreciate "old fashioned" things.

    I absolutely love stationary, too. I barely ever use it, but I love collecting it.

    I LOVE Papyrus. It is the best for cards/stationary and anything unique!
