Calling Cards; Let's Keep In Touch!

 Hello + Hello!

How are you?

Are you buried in a foot of snow like me?

Or....

are you one of those lucky ducks

sunning yourself on vacation by a pool right now?

Well,

either way...

"Let's Keep in Touch!"

 What?? You ask.

Yes!

Let's Keep In Touch!

 

Remember when 

Laura Ingalls Wilder 

tells the story about getting

Victorian calling cards?

The kind you'd leave with a new friend you just met?

Picking out your card was a matter of personal taste...

the card itself would define you.

Can you identify with Laura's thrill of choosing &

exchanging name cards?

Me too!

It seems I'm often out and about at

vintage shows, shops or simply at the grocery store.

Someone will ask me a question about what I do etc...

a conversation begins & suddenly I'm handing out a business card.

I love that we have such pretty business cards at

Grandiflora Home and Garden

but sometimes...they are a bit impersonal if

the situation calls for a personal touch.

Although I am so proud of what I do at

Grandiflora...

it is not the sum of who I am.

So,

I've always wanted personal calling cards

for just such occasions.

Ever since being asked to host a giveaway on my blog

by the folks at Minted, 

I've been pondering on getting some

"calling cards".

Have you seen how many beautiful designs they have?

I wanted my cards to be

cheerful; a personal light hearted reflection of me.

Not too much to ask for....right?

(wink, wink)

 

I was lucky enough to find the perfect card!

The best part about Minted,

is that they allow you to take a pre-designed concept

&

personalize it to better fit your style.

I chose Jess Taich's sweet design called "21st Century Girl"

for the front.

On the other side I added one of my own photos

(a vintage flower stuffed mailbox)

dubbed with a simple saying:

"let's keep in touch"

I love how they turned out!

 

 

The cards came in the sweetest little slider box perfect for tucking into my purse!

I am thrilled with the results I found at

Minted

The whole process from design start,

to home delivery was just over a week!

Impressive right?!

Happily, now I'll be ready to connect with those around me

on a more personal level...

&

that,

my friends...

is a very good thing.

 

Cheers,

T.
