Don’t you adore the idea of having a custom calligraphy stamp to press on all of your envelopes before popping them in the mail? I do. I came across these recently designed by Patricia Muman for Primele and I heard my credit card squeal in delight followed by a brief happy dance! Credit cards love to come out and play, don’t they? It’s hard to keep them contained, they are such social little creatures! :)
Patricia also does custom work, which I think is divine and perfect for a special event! I particularly adore her Thank You flat note set for only $18.

Primele seems to be all the rage around the blogs these days. Decor8 is like the 17th blog I see them – but they’re amazing and deserve all that attention!

Beautiful handwriting!!! Did you know that most schools don’t even teach cursive anymore? They teach keyboarding instead! I pride myself on good penmanship and I still love to send “snail mail”. Kudos Patricia for fighting the good fight!

They aren’t teaching cursive writing in school anymore? Wow. Is this in America or? I have to ask my German friends, because this is disturbing news. I remember in school, I think it was 2nd grade, when I learned to write cursive. I was SOOOOOOOO excited to form those big, fat letters on my sacred lined pad that was ONLY FOR writing in cursive. It took complete concentration for me to form the big L’s in Holly, and my favorite was the loop in the Y. I can’t imagine a child not experiencing those moments. Well I guess they can, at home through the parents but still, in school it was such a big deal to me when the teacher made positive comments about my loops and spacing. It was exciting and really made me love writing as a result.

I feel like there are some noisy credit cards out there! Mine might just have to join the party!!

so glad to have found this little shop…I’m a sucker for notecards and love sending and receiving hand-written notes in my snail mail.

My kids learned to write in cursive in Morocco. When my daughter started writing in cursive in her American school, apparently, all the kids gathered around and “oohed” and “ahhhed” over her amazing ability. She came home so proud that day! I didn’t realize that even by third grade kids were still printing in the US!

Oh my, I’ve been seeing these stamps around blog-land and I’ve been trying to resist…my credit card has been taking a beating lately…but I think this post just pushed me over the edge, ha ha ha!
My handwriting is an odd mix of cursive + printing — it’s crazy!

OMGoodness…I just ordered one of these last week…I asked her to spell out Pennsylvania so I could get more beautiful letters…I love her and I’m counting the days to receive it!!

oh man! i saw these a few weeks ago and wish i would have bought one then – she’s already raised her prices by $20 on each of those stamps! when they were $40 i thought they were quite pricey – definitely too much for me at this point. honestly, $60? as cute as they are, just knowing their popularity raised their prices in less than a month bums me out!
