The Paper Chronicles: Nicely Noted Gift Subscriptions

Mother’s Day is around the corner, and if you’re looking for something unexpected, consider a gift subscription to Nicely Noted. Each month Mom will receive a thoughtfully-curated and splendidly presented assemblage of letterpress cards and stamps. Not only does it keep the art of letter-writing alive — you might just get a magnificent missive yourself!

So, how does proprietress Perry Nelson create her amazing letterpressed assemblages? “It’s a long process,” she told me. “I request samples from a wide variety of vendors; some I meet through National Stationery Show and others I discover at my favorite shops, on Etsy or through recommendations or submissions. I aim to support small, independent letterpress printers. That means typically they print their own work. There are a few exceptions, but I try to stick to that goal.”

It may take time, but it looks like Perry’s found a winning formula!

This is such a great way to make Mother’s Day last.
