In a recent article that I read in the New York Times, the concept of a "stationery wardrobe" was discussed. The idea? Create a wardrobe of beautiful social papers and note cards that reflect your personal style. Now, what are social papers? The article defined "real" social papers as "made with hand-cut dies, a universe of fonts and stock in shades like creamy ecru, tobacco or artichoke, to name a few..." These "real" social papers, though incredibly beautiful, come with a hefty price tag. For example, prices start at $350 for 100 note cards. Yikes!
If "real" social papers are out of reach, you can still create your very own stationery wardrobe without breaking the bank. Shop around, stock your desk with a variety of beautiful note cards with various designs and colors. Get somer personalized items, buy prepackaged boxed note cards, or just write on pretty paper. The point? Find paper that reflects your style and send your friends and family hand-written notes. It is so nice to receive a thoughtful note and, if you have a stationery wardrobe with lots of choices, so fun to send...
