Stamp It

I have been wanting to get a return address stamp for quite some time now. My only problem (besides getting the Hub's to front the money for something he deems "pointless") is I can't decide exactly which one to get. It just seems so life altering, like whatever I pick will define our mail. I have been pondering this since before our wedding this past May. I just can't pick one. So I need your help.

I have narrowed my selections down to two retailers. So, let's see what we are working with.

From Paper Source:

From Note Trunk:



See what I mean? The decision making is nearly impossible, there are simply too many choices. I just can't decide. I really like the ones that identify the last name while still including room for both first names. It just seems a bit more personal to me. But, then again I want something distinctive. I want you to get a letter in the mail from me and say to yourself, "this envelope's got style!" Yup, I think I am reaching just a little too high. Help.

The Total Mother Load

I am having such a hard time right now. I found the most incredible Etsy shop ever! Yes, I realize this is a bold statement but it is so true! In fact, I am having a super hard time deciding what it is I want to post. There are just too many goodies.

But more to the point. You NEED to go visit this Etsy shop. Yes by that I mean stop what you are doing this instant and go to this shop. Your life will never be the same again. It is pure graphic design mayhem, and I know you want some of that.

Without further ado, I give you my favorite items from the plethora of goodies at Yee Haw, a letterpress shop from Knoxville, Tennessee.

See what I mean? There is just so much, and yes these are all from one shop. And, I didn't even show you their apparel listings or their line of journals. 

It is literally too much to handle. I will be returning to this shop on a regular basis, no questions asked.

I seriously want some of their card sets. How great would they be to have on hand?

Friday Kitsch

What a find for today! Seriously, these made my morning and I have no doubt you will fully enjoy them too.

Wit & Whistle is my new favorite stationery shop. From this point forward this is where I am going for all greeting cards. They are just too original, and well designed might I add.

I just love them! And I am also swooning over the photography skills here. Some Etsy shops have it and some don't and this one pulls it off magnificently. I always find that well photographed shops hold my interest so much more, don't you? Major props!

Wit & Whistle also runs a blog, which is pretty snazzy. I am adding it to Bloglovin as we speak. What can I say, I am impressed. I told you this was a good find! And might I add I am totally jealous of this chick, she is pulling off the lifestyle I can only imagine having; the blog, the stationery, the career you enjoy waking up to everyday. Yeah, I have a large green monster on my back here. I guess situations like these let me know it's possible, and I need that to get through the day sometimes.

I really hope these super fun cards jump start your weekend. I know I am completely ready for mine to get here already (more on that next week).

P.S. The Hub's and I are taking a mini-getaway weekend, we need some romantic time. So, that means I may or may not be around these parts on Monday (it all depends on if I am sanctioned to leave the MacBook home or not!) Just stay with me, I will for sure be back on Tuesday.

Brown Paper Bag

Well, that is what Kraft paper reminds me of. Lately I have just had a thing for the stuff. I want to look at it, print on it, and just have it in my hands. Not only does it give you that "eco-friendly" vibe, but it helps give dimension to what would normally be printed on white stock. Which are all reasons why the stuff is perfect in my mind right now.

This Kraft paper on a pedestal standpoint is not helped at all by Etsy seller, TheCraftPantry. Their monochrome cards are absolutely killing me! They are super classy. Simple craft paper and a very simple but detailed monochrome image impeccably printed on top. I want a collection for myself! But I might frame them, and that defeats the purpose of someone being surprised by these lovelies in the mail.

No really, thank you for such amazing work! Sorry, I had to. Ha! I am really impressed with the vintage camera set, classic. And how much do you love that dog at the top? I really can't get over these.

I recommend checking out TheCraftPantry. Not only do they have even more of these note cards but they have some pretty awesome totes. They are along the very same lines as these cards; recycled materials, monochromatic designs. I might have to get one with that cute little dog!

Someone needs to get me some Kraft paper, stat!

Have any of you guys printed on this before? Or found a decent retailer for some? Let me know! Send me some info people!
