Card Shark: Holiday Greetings the Old-Fashioned Way

Remember life before email? No? Well, let us remind you that often times, in the olden days, to communicate, people used to write. Letters. With pens. On paper. And put them in envelopes. With a destination address. And sometimes stickers. Or drawings. A decorative flourish of some sort. Anyway, the story goes: people would pop these hand-written messages into those big blue mailboxes, send them along to their friends, who, on the receiving end, would rip them open with gleeeee. So we're thinking, why not go a little vintage this Holiday season? Get a nice pen, buy some stamps, find your friends' zipcodes, and send them a real live letter on one of these fabulous notecards.
