Bright Stripes

Because sometimes a little bit of glitter and some bright colors are necessary.









One of my favorite calligraphers tweeted a link to Americans Love Letters yesterday and I was inspired to design, create, write, and mail some new stationery! Americans Love Letters is an organization that promotes writing letters (1 a month) every month to keep the USPS alive. If you know me, you know I am all about stationery, mailing things, and the postal service. I grew up with my Australian and Filipino cousins as my pen pals. I always mail birthday, Valentine's Day, and Christmas cards. I will send countless postcards when traveling. I buy stamps and give them to family members to encourage them to send something out. I heart the mail.

And I want to send some love, brightness, and sparkle your way. If you would like a little note, email your address to me at lovehoneymyheart@gmail.com! I'll send you either one of these cards, postcards I collected while up in Portland, and other handmade stationery ;)

Happy Tuesday!

These are so beautiful! I love that you make so many of the cards you send. I try to send cards for birthdays and holidays and just because, but I'm not as talented as you are when it comes to homemade cards.
