Hello from freezing Forest Park! I thought I’d share our 2017 holiday cards now that most of them have made their way to the destinations. I mailed most of them out mid-December with little fanfare. I didn’t decorate any envelopes this year. Sad, right? I did, however, finally use my very special J. Herbin anniversary ink.
The neon pink cards are from Hello Lucky. The cocktail cards are from Made in Brockton Village. The wintry birds are from Saturn Press, and as I’ve mentioned before, they don’t have a website which makes them the most charming stationery company ever in my book.
I’ve been such a bad letter writer this year, so naturally I’m going to put “be a better letter returner” on my new year’s resolution list. Hopefully this week I can respond to anything left in my stack so I can start 2018 with a clean slate.

Thank You, I Love Love Love your Christmas card(s)! I sat mine up next to my little white ceramic tree… the birds on your card made friends with the birds on my tree and they don’t want to be put away now that the holidays are over; it’s a conundrum for me, I’d like to accommodate all the birds! I think I’ll let them stay out until spring, then they can skip the drawer & go straight to the garden (banner in the window). To everything there is a ‘season’, and greetings are always appropriate, yes? Thank you again for the most perfect card!
