silhouette stationary

I've been lusting after silhouette stationary ever since I came across Sesame Letterpress' rendition a few years back. Beautiful as they are, I just can't justify spending $150+ for paper that I don't see becoming the "little black dress" of my stationary wardrobe! Does that make sense? Call me crazy, but I view silhouette paper as the equivalent of that fun DVF wrap dress you'd wear to dinner with friends.

That being said, this Fiona Designs set seems to be the answer to my prayers. At $20 for ten personalized cards and envelopes, the price is definitely right. Plus, the company even offers the option to choose your own coloring... I think I'd want a coral-y pink silhouette with black letters. Of course, I'd change my mind a million times before actually placing the order. So, who makes your favorite "wrap dress" stationary? I'd be interested to hear! x

a stitch in time saves nine

I've been affixiated with needlepointing ever since Jonathon Adler put it back on the radar a few years ago. It wasn't until I saw this photo of Renegade Handmade's In Stitches Showcase that I realized how chic a cross stitch sampler would look hung on a wall! I'm head-over-heels in love with this Mr. Darcy sampler and this silhouette sampler from etsy dealer thetimeisnow.
