These envelopes are from the Potter Style Antiquarian Note Card Book. I saw these in a real live brick-and-mortar store (which I visit so rarely), and I'm so glad I did, because all the online descriptions of this set do not show you how lovely the envelopes are!
You can have a look at the lovely cards here: they are modeled after antique marbled book covers. Really great stuff, and they take fountain pen ink well, too.
I like that the envelopes have their own built-in decorative labels, so to speak, and on the bottom envelope in the photo above, I added my own home-made glitter bats. (I used this bat punch on pages of the letter, and I took the bat confetti by-products of said punch and sprayed them with glimmer mist glitter spray, then glued them to the envelope.)
So glad you left a comment over on my blog...and even happier to see that you have a blog celebrating real mail. Long live the handwritten note!
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting more giveaways this month to celebrate note writing, so stay tuned!
Thanks!

The envelopes look pretty, I bet they are even better in the flesh.
ReplyDeleteI really love the little bats. I'm going to have to conduct an online search into this glitter spray now :)
Wow, it looks really cool. I like it =)!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments, Mia! The glitter spray is called Glimmer Mist, and it's made by a company called Tattered Angels. It comes in a staggering array of colors! I've always bought mine via eBay, but there are of course other sources for it.
ReplyDeletethose are very pretty and look awesome .
ReplyDeleteOhhhh great stamps too. And my mom (a librarian) would love those note cards. Good finds all around.
