"s.e. hagarman DESIGNS notecards, both in a box and individual cards. They were refreshing, not stuffy, glitzy and brought a smile to my face. Easily can buy by the box and sell as individual cards. Even the lid of the box depicts the card and has a little glitz to it. Great gift item ... looks like a gift."

"The Dabney Lee Moderne stationery album that we ordered at the NSS just came in and we love it. The album is subtitled 'a modern take on social stationery,' and it's a great description - very fresh new colors and patterns, and the correspondence cards are pattern-printed on the back. Wonderful linings for envelopes. Haven't seen anything like it; so much fun to show customers something really different."

"Designers' Fine Press - a letterpress line from Stationery Works that is incredibly priced and has a wonderful feel. The designs are classic and fitting for the quality of the papers offered. The price to buy one book was affordable, which will get me into the rest of the line as I go. I also liked the signature wedding invitations (Fine Paper Collection) by wedding dress designer Monique Lhuillier, from Carlson Craft. These offered classic letterpress printing, genuine engraving and fine thermography; and techniques such as detailed embossing and foil processes add to the many styles and unique folds. Once again, style and price are key - and this line blew me away. In one book there are so many choices and the price is great."
