Turtle Papers

Friday, January 11, 2008



Turtle Papers is probably one of my favorite online stationery shops. I have to control myself from posting about them everyday. The work they produce is beautiful. They also have a lot more to offer besides stationery. The online shop carries wall art, gift tags, calendars and even tees.

Susiea Vintage

Wednesday, November 7, 2007


I find myself being drawn to this vintage look more and more. These cards and tags are from the etsy shop of Susiea. I believe it takes a great deal of creativity to pull this look off. These pieces are beautiful. They look like they have so much meaning behind them.

Bemi Designs

Tuesday, November 6, 2007


I've received so many email submissions lately and I haven't been able to keep up! I apologize for the delay in getting these posts up. Thanks for submitting your work and I do enjoy reading all the emails.

These cards are from the etsy shop of Bemi Designs. Christie wrote in to tell me about her handcrafted cards. Maybe she knew how much I like cards with stitching. In Christie's shop you can find greeting cards as well as notecard sets. Of course she also has some holiday cards this time of year.

As I was writing this post I realized Christie has another etsy shop called With Love Designs. Make sure to check out this crafty shop too.

Cake and Milk Paperie

Thursday, October 18, 2007

These everyday notes from Cake and Milk Paperie are perfect for everyday note writing. (first image) The cards are printed with assorted phrases.

I also really like the sewn ric rac cards. For some reason I'm always drawn to stationery items that have yarn or thread on them. It adds texture and design at the same time.

Write Robinson Stationery

Tuesday, August 28, 2007


Angel from Write Robinson recently sent me an email to let me know about her stationery. I'd actually seen some of her work posted on cuteable a few weeks ago. I love the image with the draw string bag. You can see how much time and thought goes into Angel's work.

Each card from Write Robinson is different from the next. No two cards will ever be the same. However the high level of quality will be noticed in each piece.

Angel tells a great story about her love for paper and how her company began. If you'd like to read more about her story, click here.

Now is a great time to make a purchase from Write Robinson. From now until the end of September you can receive 20% off your order. Enter the code "PAPERSHOPINK" when checking out. Thanks Angel for this great offer!

Modern Printed Matter

Monday, August 27, 2007



This morning I came across this gorgeous etsy shop called Modern Printed Matter. Everything in this shop is beautiful. I especially loved the card above with the ribbon. The etsy shop of Modern Printed Matter has only been open since July 15th, so far it looks like business has been pretty good. I thought these products looked familiar and eventually realized this shop was also just featured on decor8.

JHillDesign

Wednesday, August 22, 2007


I was looking for things related to Chicago (since we are going there soon) and came across these notecards from JHill Design. I love the idea and inspiration behind the work of Jennifer Hill. These notecards are based on the statement "Places I've Never Been". On the notecards you can find influential information regarding the place that is being represented. You can definitely tell how much thought and time goes into this work. I love it.

John McDonald Design

Wednesday, August 15, 2007


These are two cards from the Celestial Kaleidoscope collection from John McDonald Designs. The cards are 4.5" x 6.25" and blank on the inside. I loved the description about these cards on the website. It reads: "These cards, reflective of mandalas, take their inspiration from the heavens. They are as if the viewer were looking at stars through a kaleidoscope."

Shim + Sons

Monday, August 13, 2007

I realized that my desk at work is very boring. Since I've been here I really haven't added any personal touches to my space. Mostly because I just haven't had the time. I really like these pencil holders I saw today from Shim + Sons. They would definitely add some color and design to my desk.

Shim + Sons also has some cool notecards for sale on etsy. Above is one of the french flat designs.
