Hi guys! I was just about to write GOOD MORNING! to you all but realized it’s 2 pm. Time flies… sometimes.

ANYWHO.

Today’s luxury: fine stationery. I’ve always loved stationery despite the fact that I’m pretty much the worst letter writer ever. I used to do it a lot more but now I’m such a thankless jerk I hardly even write thank you notes. Sorry friendsies. I love you.

My personal fave is G. Lalo Verge de France. It’s got a nice laid finish and has a really nice weight and takes fountain pen ink really well. It comes in a bunch of nice colors with coordinating envelopes and feels more luxurious than, say, Crane’s or something. I love the size of the smaller sheets (6×8″ish, it’s in crazy centimeters), and the envelopes are self sealing and lined. Fancy! They’re pretty affordable too, the 50 sheet tablets are in the $12-14 range, and packs of 20 envelopes are a couple of bucks more. I had a rubber stamp made with my name and address so I can pretend I have custom printed ’house’ stationery for a fraction of the price. 

Go write somebody a letter.

xo!
