It took nearly two weeks to find out that the style I selected was out of stock. No worries! I had a second choice already picked out and promptly provided the details. It was frustrating that they kept insisting they didn't have everyone's contact information when all parties involved were CC on all emails I sent. It was also alarming to be told Lisa no longer wished to be on our email communications and I was now to work with a different associate. The final slight came when due to my original choice being out of stock and some back and forth on the written details - I was not given 3 days grace period to approve the proof before being made to place a 50% deposit or lose out on a promotional discount of 20%. I had come in and made a selection 3 weeks prior and well within the promotional deadline. Overall underwhelmed.

A quaint, elegant store filled with beautiful stationary…read more I've been talking with myself each night before I go to bed about how I'm going to someday be like my mother and write thank-you notes, and Christmas cards, and love letters to all the memorable people in my life. I haven't yet become this person... But I still love to imagine what I would be like if I used this gorgeous stationary to lull all my neighbors into a classy, demure, lithographic relationship. I'm lucky enough to own the collection of love letters from BOTH sets of my grandparents, written to each other during WWII and college years away from Missouri farmland. Ahhh-- the beauty of the written letter. I sit here and type away while secretly wishing I was writing on hand-crafted stationary.

So in turn, I thought it was only appropriate that I send some very special and unique cards. Hallmark was not an option. I needed the best from a local source, so I headed over to, The Firecracker Press. The variety of note with STL themes were nice. However, I found two cards that were designed as a Thank-you card and they served my purpose very well. I did see other cards that caught my eye and I will return for another occasion. Then to my surprise, when I got home and reached into my bag. TFP had given me a little thank-you postcard. It entitled me to 10% off on my next web purchase. I'm more of a brick and mortar shopper, but to save 10%, I can shop the web. Will I return? - Yes, here and the web. When: November 17, 2017 Why: Thank-you Cards
