I know people don’t send letters much anymore with the internet and all but isn’t it nice to get a little something in the mail every now and then? Besides bills! Being an Etsy shop owner I send out packages a lot more and of course I want them to look awesome. Even when I send someone a letter or a check, however small, I like it to have an outer beauty.

Well besides creative handwriting, the other easy way to make any envelope look beautiful is with stamps. Duh! Vintage stamps are so worth the price but only really should be used for events and weddings. Have you looked at the stamps that are available today? There are a good amount that are really cool and some that are so much fun. Here are a few of my favorites you can purchase from the postal service that will bring a nice touch to any snail mail.

Oh, do I love paper. Even when I was a child I had a special relationship with it. I loved stationary and would always want my Mother to buy me new pads and notebooks, just so I can have plenty of paper to write and draw on. Today, I simply adore it.

Being an artist you learn how to appreciate paper more. Most of my handmade crafts are made with it as well so I have used more as the years passed. Searching for unique patterns and designs is easy thanks to all the talented people out there creating such beautiful work. From tissue paper to wallpaper, there is something to be found for everyone.

Here are some cool finds I came across upon my searches that I would like to share with you. Get lost in the magnificent glory of all these fun and gorgeous items and let them inspire you, like they inspired me.
