The Lettered Set

The NY times published a great article on personalised stationery this month - For custom stationery fiends, "social papers" are thriving, in spite of, or perhaps because of, the prevailing digital culture.

It does discuss how awful pre printed thank you notes are, so maybe I should not be publishing it here, but it also discusses how wonderful it is to write and receive letters, notes, thank you cards in a time when we use texts and emails.

It makes me want to go out and buy letterpress stationery, I hope in time to be selling this on my website. Oh and buy a cabinet like this and the house to match preferably in North Sydney.

Adult birthday party invitations

I have just been asked to do a few birthday party invitations for the older generation, i.e.  not teenagers or babies anymore. A couple have used my cupcakes for 60th and 50th    parties, but I have just added a new section to my website, with only one design at the  moment but more to come.

I created a similar design for a clients 30th, now don't laugh at the photo!

Get help polishing your written correspondence skills

I have just ordered from Amazon 2 books which I hope will be full of great tips which I can post on my blog and website.

It is so hard to get the wording just right, so hopefully these books will help, and I just love buying books.

The books are -  The Art of Correspondence: An Etiquette Booklet and Complete Set of Stationery"
Florence Isaacs

Crane's Blue Book of Stationery: The Styles and Etiquette of Letters, Notes, and Invitations"
Steven L. Feinberg

Hopefully these will help with my new range of wedding stationery.
