The Philosophy Behind the Cards

Oyster Handmade Stitched Paper Greeting Card

There's something so special about sending and receiving snail mail, isn't there?  In this age of technology, where a message, tweet, or status update can be conveyed in an instant, its rare that we take the time to hand write a card and drop it in the mail, knowing it won't be received for days.  And when we receive a card, there's a lovely moment of anticipation and excitement when we open an envelope, not knowing exactly what we'll find. 

Now imagine if every time you opened an envelope, the card was so exquisite and visually pleasing that it was just as much of a gift as the thoughtful note inside.  Imagine the thrill and the joy of a beautiful message paired with an equally beautiful card!  If a message is so important, or has so much thought behind it that we (or someone else) has taken the time to write it out by hand and put a stamp on an envelope and mail it... doesn't that card deserve to be something that we keep, not just throw away the way that we do with so many easily forgettable and easily disposible Hallmark cards?
