Eyelet Caps Monogram Note Cards

June 13, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

I am so digging these Eyelet Caps Note Cards from In Haus Press. The letterpress monogram notes (available in sets of 5) feature gorgeous embellished letters, printed from hand-carved wooden type in bold, black ink. Use the notes as gift tags, or keep them on hand to write little notes and thank yous.

I’d love to see a set of these little notes pop up in my Christmas stocking. Yeah, I know it’s a little early to be talking winter holidays, but it’s never too early to start making notes about good gift ideas!

Summer breezes, beach days, and salty sea air instantly came to mind when I spotted these fun new summer notepads by Linda & Harriett. The 100 sheet notepads come in six different styles. What’s you’re favorite style? I really like them all, but I have to say that I’m partial to the crab notepad. So cute!
