today.

Today my thoughts and prayers go out to all of the runners, spectators, families and friends affected by the tragedy in Boston today. It breaks my heart that such a wonderful, happy, and inspiring event can be blanketed with this darkness. Through the sadness of what happened today, it was comforting to hear about all of the kindness and care that people showed to those around them.

sugar paper: giveaway.

I am a firm believer that one possibly can't have too many cards or stationary.  I have a box in my closet full of cards for all occasions. Not to mention a drawer full of more stationary and cards that I have received throughout the years. I realize that I could spend have spent quite a bit of time looking at cards in stores often coming away with more than just the one birthday card I needed.  I feel like in today's world we get so caught up with all of our gadgets that it can be refreshing to take a step away from everything and sit down to write a handwritten note to someone special. I don't know about you, but I absolutely love when I get a card in the mail!

One of the most adorable stationary and letterpress shops is Sugar Paper in LA. With a shop full of calendars, coasters, art prints, wrapping paper and so much more, they take you to paper heaven when browsing their online shop. Sugar Paper's cards are elegant, fun and simple with sayings that are short and sweet. I gave my Mom the Sugar Paper recipe binder for Christmas and as someone who is always printing out recipes it truly was perfect.
