I’ve seen Three Potato Four’s modern milk bottle carafes featured on a number of design blogs lately (love them!), but I didn’t know that they also had so many pretty paper goods. In addition to carrying items from lines by Henry Road, Nantaka Joy, Serrote, and Night Owl Paper Goods, they also carry adorable imported Japanese sticker stamps (above), fun patterned gift tags (below), and cute birdhouse notecards (below).

Just in time for spring and summer — adorable retro paper dress cards from Specialty Cards 4 U. Available in a variety of patterns, everything from polka dots to chic script, the cute little dresses look like they’re straight out an Audrey Hepburn film. I especially love the little hanger detail. Cards are $5.50 each.

Lovely personalized note cards and greeting card designs from Turtle Papers. I’m really digging the combinations of sophisticated flourishes, old world emblems, and stylized florals and wildlife. The colors are so bright and fun, too, and remind me of warm weather (which I hope will be here soon).

Eep! The hiatus from posting ran much longer than I anticipated, but I’m back now and hope to be posting again regularly. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some spring weather, and this set of letterpress mini prints/greeting cards from Yee Haw Industries makes my hope for sunshine and warm temperatures stronger. They’re also available in blue, for those of you who are interested in a more “chill” look. $20.00 for a set of 8.

I’ve talked about the trend in plantable cards previously, and I love the idea of a card that keeps on giving and is friendly for the environment. Since I also love to cook with fresh herbs, I was naturally drawn to these plantable pretties from Porridge Papers. The set of five letterpress cards is printed on Porridge Papers’ handmade, herb embedded papers, which grow into basil, chive, parsley, dill, and thyme when planted. This is such a wonderful concept, and the cards would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves to garden or cook. $15.00 for the set.

If you’re interested in handmade papers, Porridge has some fantastic lines, including the Super Tasty Collection, the Super Fresh Collection, and the Super Dazzle Collection.
