The old-fashioned art of paper correspondence…made more beautiful.
May 23rd, 2008 @ 9:10 am

Hand-written correspondence is one of my top love languages. There’s just something special about receiving a thoughtful, penned note in my mailbox, with an envelope to open with anticipation and a card or stationery note to admire and pore over. In an age of paperless communication, this type of correspondence truly does cause one to stop and linger awhile. If you’re going to send someone a hand-written note of any kind, why not send along it in style?

When I came across Le Papier Studio, I was instantly smitten. I have to admit, I go weak in the knees at the sight of silhouettes. My dad, an artist, had silhouettes of our family hanging in our home….they’re still hanging today….and I realized, even as a small child, what a sentimental and beautiful thing the art of silhouette was.

Le Papier Studio does do silhouettes, but not just the standard side-of-the-head shadows we’re all familiar with. The whole essence of the innocence and wonderment of childhood is captured in these “snapshots.”

See what I mean? Exquisite. Absolutely exquisite. A must-have, really.

When Le Papier Studio sent me a packet of samples, I was instantly impressed by the intricate attention to detail in the packaging. The paper products themselves? Oh, I must say it’s pure bliss writing on such sleek, smooth paper….the weight is substantial and the quality unmistakable. A writer’s dream, no less. The images are crisp-edged, and the colors are magnificently complimentary. I cannot say enough about this company!

Le Papier Studio’s Etsy shop is chock-full of many items: Beautiful stationery, note cards, stickers and mailing labels, and even prints so very suitable for framing. Go take a look….I bet you can’t leave without buying something! (And go take a look at her blog, as well, for more delicious inspiration and great stories.)

Vana of Le Papier Studio has graciously offered to one fortunate reader a set of four personalized, various cards (see sample photo below). All you have to do is visit her storefront and tell me your favorite item available in the comment section below. That’s all.

I’ll keep this contest running through Friday, May 30th at 11pm EST. I’ll randomly draw a winner and announce him/her on Saturday morning. (*Sorry; only open to US addresses. One comment only; duplicates will not be counted.*)

Good luck!

    I love the “walk with me” sets with the little siblings! So cute! But if I had to choose only one favorite, it would have to be the little pink ballerina girl.

    I think my favorite item is the “6 Siblings Silhouette 5×7 Postcards”. I would have to choose the “Emma+Chloe” print since it reminds me so much of my own two daughters.

    The one with the children’s silhouettes are adorable but I think my favorite is the Personalized Floral Stationery Folded Cards that are brown and green. I’m definitely bookmarking her site.
