The Chronic Consumer

One of the ways I treat myself is by having a nice set of personalized stationery for any correspondence that needs to be done the old-fashioned way. Sadly, a box of 50 note cards or letter sheets usually ends up lasting me several years because there just aren’t that many occasions when I need to write a personal letter. Sigh.

But the time has finally come to replenish my stock of note cards. I love these folded notes by Alden Grace, as the writing quill succinctly sums up my most important characteristic: I love to write!

These notes cost $91 for 50 pieces, a price that includes pre-printed envelopes with my return address. In addition, it costs an extra $12 per 25 pieces for lined envelopes, which means I’d have to add $24 to the total cost of the order.

Without the printed and lined envelopes, the cost would just be $67 for 50 personalized note cards. Quite a difference, I know, but stationery just stands out SO much more with printed and lined envelopes. It’s much more elegant.

This is on my Wish List for now, as there’s no way I can spend $115 on stationery in the next few weeks. Maybe it can be my Mother’s Day present!
