Gothic Save the Date: The Clayton

The Clayton Collection by 9SpotMonk

Sometimes, save the dates need to get some attention. We love the Clayton from our ecoModern® wedding collection. One of our staff favorites, it's not only great for a wedding but great for any occasion that needs that 'you need to rsvp for this party... right now".

What Does One Princess Give To Another Princess?

Princess Happy Birthday Color in Card from 9SpotMonk Letterpress

Our resident designer Tiffany designed this color in card for her niece, my daughter. One day she was wearing jeans and sneakers and wowza, the next day she requested a pink dress and tiara and that was the end of me. This card definitely speaks to all princesses of all ages - tiaras, diamonds, pearls and a big castle. The card is 100% recycled and comes with three non toxic crayons. My personal advice is to get at least a dozen because not only is your daughter a princess but all her girlfriends are too.

Fashion Week = Fashion Stationery

Splatter Zebra Personal Notes from 9SpotMonk

2011 Fall Fashion Week is coming up fast and furious. So what to do if you don't want to spend $7500 on that 'must have' zebra print skirt? Well, I have an idea... how about $4.00 for a zebra print letterpress card? Or you can spend $7500 on 1875 cards and have enough stationery to last you almost a lifetime.
