Parchment Nantucket: Write a note!

It crossed my mind yesterday that this whole launch into the blogging world really should have happened ages ago for us. Sure, it's completely acceptable that Ms.Heidi (ancient as she is...) hasn't hopped on board earlier, but me? I'm allegedly of the age where I should be twittering (tweeting??), texting and updating every minute of my life. But the truth is...I'm not. I knew about the blog world, and occasionally checked up on some that I'd stumbled upon or were passed on to me, but until Parchment's quest to establish an online presence, I never actually realized the extent of what is available online, especially in the stationery sphere. And now that I have...I'm absolutely, positively, %100 addicted! Thanks to my life coach and blog mentor (preferring to remain anonymous, we'll call her C), I've been introduced to a number of amazing design, stationery, wedding and misc. blogs. It's a fantastic outlet for consumers, designers, store owners, brides-to-be, crafters and everyday yous and mes to involve themselves to a world of possibilities (in our case, paper possibilities). I can't express how excited I am to share with the world all the great things one little paper store, on one little island, can produce/create/offer/provide!

Of course having said all that, you'll notice how remiss I have been about posting! But hey, let's just blame that on the fact that here at Parchment, customer satisfaction is our priority!

Now, don't get me wrong...I love buying a set of notecards and keeping them on my desk until the occasion arises and I can sit down to write a note. However, that being said, I'm just a teeny, tiny bit obsessed with single cards. It gives you the versatility to tailor your card to the recipient, and plus it's just kinda fun picking them out in their shiny cello packages!

Here at Parchment we carry all sorts of greeting (and sans-greeting) cards. We have the traditional occasions--birthdays, babies, wedding, etc., but we also carry some more specific occasion cards like congratulations, good luck, new home, get well and happy shower cards. One thing that sets our selection apart are the unique lines that we carry. From across the US and even into Canada, Heidi searches near and far for the most colorful, playful, beautiful (and sometimes even a bit risqué) cards. And of course we even have that perfect card for when there is no big occasion at all! Right now I'm enjoying some of our sea-themed blank cards, perfect for when you just have one little letter to write. Come in and peruse our selection, and don't forget to ask if you nothing catches your eye at first (I say at first because I'm a firm believer that we have something for everyone!) We often have a larger selection available than we have room to display.
