Greeting Cards For Autumn & Thanksgiving

November 02, 2015 // kristen // 0 replies

So, Halloween is over, which bums me out. But the good news is that there are still a few weeks left to do all of the apple cider drinking and leaf peeping that I want, so I can’t be too bummed. This greeting card roundup was inspired by the time that’s left in my most favorite of seasons, and we can’t forget that Thanksgiving, at least here in the U.S., is still to come. So, I added a few fabulous and festive Thanksgiving greetings, too. Here’s to the awesomeness that is autumn!

If you’re a copious maker of handwritten lists like I am, or if you know someone who is, then you’ve gotta check out these totally craveable letterpress lists from Sesame Letterpress. The Important Notes Letterpress Set will help keep your desk and your life organized, and it’s super stylish, too. I’m really digging the combination of vintage-style graphics with bright and modern colors.

Each set includes five different lists : Important Dates, Passwords, Books and Movies for a Rainy Day, Hot Spots for Wining & Dining, and Strokes of Genius. The sets would make perfect stocking stuffers for the listmakers in your life, and they’d be great gifts for co-workers, too!
