For Kristin

After looking up stationery all day, I really want some new now. But the thing is, when I want something I want it RIGHT now. So all the ones that I looked up I can order online, but I won't get them for probably a week. I think I'm going to go look at Halmart and Borders later and see if I can find anything I like. If I do, I'll post about it. But for now, here are some notecards and stationery sets I liked:

These first few are from Kate's Paperie in New York. In Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, Becky goes kind of crazy in Kate's and spends about $500 on stationery. I can see why. These are kind of pricey, but a few are in the more affordable range:

Pom Pom Boxed Notes, $18.50:

These are my favorite from Kate's. I think the pom pom flower print is fun and whimsical.http://www.katespaperie.com/store/category/stationery___paper/stationery_sets/item/0001543/boxed_notes_pom_pom/

Native Flowers Mix & Match Stationery Set, $8.50:

I decided that I like paper sets better than notecards. These flower prints are pretty, but I think they might get in the way of writing. http://www.katespaperie.com/store/category/stationery___paper/stationery_sets/item/1785000046/native_flowers_mix__match_stationery_set/

OrangeArt Correspondence Set, $24:

I like this paper set better. The print is fresh and clean, and not so big that you have to write over it.http://www.katespaperie.com/store/category/stationery___paper/stationery_sets/item/0000846/orangeart_correspondence_set/

Vera Wang Laser Cut Notes, Olive Green Beaded, $33.50:

Yeah, they're expensive, but seriously, Vera Wang stationery! The cut out design is supposed to look like a beaded choker according to the description, but I just think it's pretty.http://www.katespaperie.com/store/category/stationery___paper/stationery_sets/item/0003706/vera_wang_laser_cut_notes_olive_green_bea/


These last few are from various Etsy shops. They're mostly a bit cheaper, plus I just love buying homemade stuff:

Chirp Letter Set by WeveGotPaper, $8:

I think this almost goes too far from old lady-ish to almost juvenile. I'd like it better if they didn't say chirp chirp chirp.http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27679481

Fashion Notecards from lrsteiner, $10:

These are my absolute favorite! I think they're adorable. The only drawback is that since they're black, I suppose you'd have to buy a silver, or some other bright color, pen.http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22155809

Personalized Folded Notecards from InkScissorsPaper, $12:

I really like the idea of handmade personalized cards. And I like the watercolor print on the side. I couldn't find these when I searched for them again, so maybe they're sold out?

Red Poppies Personalized Notecards from SweetBellaCards, $15

These are the ones I'm most likely to get if I don't find anything out today. I just think they're fresh and clean. And again, I like the personalization.http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27689437
