MESSAGE RECEIVED: DESIGNER HOLIDAY CARDS

Upon my return from Florida, I went to my mailbox which was filled with joyful designer missives. I just love the creativity and effort that went into creating and designing the beautiful holiday cards I received. What a pleasure it was to open each one and be moved by the message inside. Thank you all for such a warm start to the New Year and for bringing such beauty into everything you do. 

There's nothing like getting a card in the mail, especially when it is as spectacular as these are!

I love finding new stationery companies that make beautiful, timeless designs. My fondness for classic writing paper and fonts knows no bounds. Haute Papier, a young brand out of the D.C. area has gotten it right from the start. From custom letterpress cards to coasters, founder Sarah Meyer Walsh creates sophisticated yet cozy-familiar designs with monograms and motifs in Leesburg, Virginia and Georgetown studios with her partner, Erin Miller. Pretty, proper paper is making a comeback.

Custom coaster designs make a big impact for housewarming gifts and holidays:
