A friend recently sent me a gorgeous, personalized thank you card and as soon as I opened it, I knew I`d just discovered something for an upcoming blog entry. I`ve professed my love for pretty paper and stylish stationery many a time before but with so many fabulous options out there, it`s hard to choose just one to gush about. Today, I`m swooning over the gorgeous designs from Haute Note. This Vancouver-based company makes beautiful note cards and invitations and I love that you can personalize them. Simply pick a design and then personalize it with your name or a phrase like Thank you from Natalie. You can choose from six different fonts and if you can`t decide on just one design, you can mix and match and create a custom order. A packaged set of eight cards and nine envelopes (just in case, they say), costs $24. They`re perfect to have on hand for those occasions when you want to send something special and they also make a wonderful gift. Order online at hautenote.com.

Visit us at the Style at Home Show, Oct. 17 to 19, at the Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place, Toronto. Go to styleathomeshow.com for more information and to order tickets.

These nifty notecards from Felix Doolittle make me think of the Beatrix Potter books I used to pore over as a child. Not only is the artwork reminiscent of Beatrix`s style but the size and shape of the notecards is just like her books … perfect for small hands. (Does that matter or am I just rambling?) If you`re as fanatical about pretty paper as I am, you`ll surely want to add this find to your list of must-shop stationery stores. The designs come in themed collections, notecards, invitations, memo papers, even baker`s labels. Even though these pretty delights are born and raised in West Newton, Massachusetts, you can shop online and have them shipped to Canada via UPS. We LOVE the Internet!

flora and flight stationery

More stationery I love. Shocking, I know. These adorable designs have a bit of a French country charm to them and portray pretty botanical images that make me think of spring, even though winter is showing no signs of releasing its stranglehold. That`s not very optimistic, is it? Anyways, the Flora and Flight collection features pocket pads, note cards and gift enclosures that are not only impossibly sweet but so handy to have at home for emergencies â€¦ OK, not EMERGENCIES, exactly. They`re no good for putting out fires in the kitchen or anything. But you know â€¦ emergencies like forgotten birthdays and last-minute dinner parties (you know you never like to show up empty-handed).
