Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, The WRITE Stuff.

Since being elected as Province Director of Alumnae for my sorority, I have received a number of hand-written notes in the mail congratulating me on this accomplishment. If you've been around for awhile, you know that snail mail is high on my list of very favorite things. I have responded to all of these on my Sweet Owl notecards (courtesy of my good friend JDS).

Because I suspect that my ensuing position will involve lots of snail mail (I will be communicating with sisters all over the country - not to mention Canada and England!) I decided to stock up on some sorority stationery. I have a drawer full of correspondence cards and of course, some of these are sorority specific. I am quickly running out as I often write to sisters, so I was delighted to find these at the Boatman Geller tent sale!

(Mine are blank, of course.)
These were an absolute STEAL at $15 for a box of 50. I was so delighted to find these for such a great price. I love fancy stationery at a fair price and I can always count on BG to deliver. Because, hey, I like to keep it classy but I am a 24-year-old writer living in New York City. I just paid seven bucks for a box of cereal. I'm doing the best I can over here.

  1. Oh, I just love getting notes, how much fun! I just thought of you I'm doing an informative speech on Friday about the history of Lilly Pulitzer and am thrilled and do not care if the rest of my class wants to kill me! Any good tidbits about Lilly?

  2. I was going to order two pack of notes from them but the shipping was twice as much as my order! I love their stuff but 12.00 for shipping is a little much. Thanks for the tip though!

  4. I love snail mail too. I love coming home to a hand-written letter or a package from a friend. I am like the hugest package person. And love your reference of your title to NKOTB.... xoxo

  8. Appending my comment from earlier: Thank you for being a true friend, and for talking the time to stop and write a letter. Many of my difficult days have been vastly improved by receiving a card from you. Modern culture allows us to dismiss these moments of kindness without any social repercussions. So thank you for being the friend who cares enough to keep these traditions and thus, generosity, alive.

  14. Thank you so much for your kind compliment!

    And CJM, I find it positively uncanny that the last word in your first comment is the word JEALOUS with a question mark next to it. Priceless!

  15. I love BG! I bought 3 packages of foldover notes last year and gave them as Christmas gifts to people. I split them into 10's and tied them with a pretty ribbon. Big hit on a tight budget :)
