Why We Love Stationery?

1) The feel of really pretty paper crisp and clean with beautiful design...

2) The total feminity of writing a sweet note to someone you love...

3) The joy of opening a photo card and seeing someone's adorable newborn baby looking back...

4) Opening an wedding invitiation and finding out an old friend is finally getting married...

5) Opening a photo card announcement and finding out a friend is having baby number 4...

6) The smell of fresh ink on a clean piece of crisp white paper with your name printed at the top...

7) The fun of writing I Love You on a sticky note and sticking it in your son's lunch box...

8) The utter joy and saddness of creating your baby's first birthday card announcement...

9) The feeling of being just grateful and jotting those feelings down on a beautiful thank you card...

10) The excitement of sending out moving announcements to let the world know you bought your first home...

Stationery, photo cards, announcements, and invitations-they are a vital part of our developing life and not even the internet can replace the simple pleasure of beautiful paper. Check out http://www.somethingaboutstationery.com/ for stationery that fits all of lifes moments.

In an era of digital communication...

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." So in an era of digital communication where most correspondence is done though telephones and email, where does that leave stationery? I asked myself this question when I was offered the opportunity to start a stationery business. Though I thought it would be difficult, I was excited by the notion of bringing back excitement to an age old practice of giving and receiving beautiful, hip, modern, clean, high quality paper! I can think of a few more adjectives, but I think you get my drift. I love pretty stationery and believe the trail SomethingAboutStationery.com creates is one everyone will want to follow!
