Already the last weekend of 2012, and can hardly believe it, valentine’s day is almost upon us and for the occasion, romantic vintage-inspired cards, personalized letterpress notecards, beautiful words from the most heartbreaking love story of all, and when every minute spent together is perfect, for long-distance relationships are the hardest, the sweetest “miss you” notecards for your love.

And after all the christmas festivities, and before new year celebrations begin, a few moments to write a few post-holiday thank you notes, and this season, favorite lovely, charming cards for kind words and warm wishes, thoughtful gifts and precious moments spent together; a million thank you’s for making 2011 so wonderful.

Wishing you a beautiful new year’s eve filled with indefinite love and happiness, xo

And while we’re on the topic of all things beautiful, the charming hand-lettering and hand-painted illustrations from kate’s papergoods are so utterly lovely for any occasion, in stationery and other paper products – I’ve fallen for the enchanting wooden chalkboard gift tags that could be used over and over, and the pretty celebration cards, for nothing shall ever outshine the romance of hand-written notes.
