Window Thank You Cards

Window card with swinging "Thank You" sign.

The window is actually a plastic film and behind it is a small "Thank You" sign that swings on a cord.

I found these window cards in two sets at the Goodwill Store in Cerritos, CA.  The back of the card says it's from Rick Shaefer Design, 2005, by Leap Year Publishing.

I was attracted to them because each card has an actual window with a clear plastic film, and behind the window is a "Thank You" sign that actually swings on a cord.  I actually sent some of these out as thank you notes for Christmas gifts.  The cards are not too thick so I was able to mail them with a standard 49 cent forever stamp.

The Celebration Stationery Ensemble, Vintage Bicentennial

The Celebration Stationery Ensemble

The letter paper features the American flag and Statue of Liberty on each page.

It comes with matching envelopes.

The set also has matching notecards.

I found two sets of these Celebration Stationery Ensemble at a thrift store.  I don't know why there is a rectangle cut out of the cardboard box.  The other ones I've seen for sale online also have this.

The ensemble features letter paper with matching envelopes and also notecards.  they all have the Statue of Liberty and American flag printed on them.  I saw one for sale on eBay for $12.99, and this set also comes with envelope seals.  It's also coming from Indiana so I am wondering if there was a large lot of these here for some reason.

I also found the same set on etsy.com that sold, and it also has the cardboard cutout.

I am guessing this stationery ensemble was to celebrate the United States Bicentennial, since the colors, printing, and font used looks like it's from around the 70's.

Chinese Zodiac Placemat

Chinese Zodiac Placemat

I was eating at a Chinese restaurant called Panda Garden, and they had these wonderful placements everywhere!  I love the black and red printing.  I initially thought this must be old or vintage but the years under each zodiac animal continues to this day and more.  This is something I don't really see.  I am used to placemats that are plain, with the menu printed on it, or for children to color, but this one was fascinating!  I liked it so much I was careful to not get food on top of it, and took it home.

I am not sure if this counts as stationery, because you primarily eat on top of it, not write on it.  Although, it can be used as note paper!

Engagement Ring and Gift Box Card

Engagement Ring Card and Box

The ring goes into the box.

The jewelry box flap opens to reveal the ring card.

The box feature a ribbon on top,

These cards are produced by Coloriginals for Paper Prince, Made in the USA!

These cards are perfect for an engagement announcement or party invitations.  It comes with ribbon that you tie onto the "box" card, and the box opens up as a flap to reveal a pocket for the ring-shaped card which you can write on.  Really adorable!

The quality is really nice.  It's really hard to see from the photos but the box has a silver outline and dot details on it.

The cards are by COLORIGINALS for Paper Prince, and are made in the USA!

I love these pizza themed invitations!  They are die cut cards shaped like pizza, and the front opens up to reveal the party information. It comes with matching red envelopes in packs of 8.  I really want to have a pizza party with these.

Whale Die Cut Thank You Card

Whale Die Cut Thank You Card

I love this pack of thank you cards.  the front is a die cut shape of a whale with a window to the background paper which features a water colored whale.  When you lift the die cut paper, it features the whale in water.  The envelope is also "lined" with a matching printed patter.  Really adorable, although these cards are a bit small.

Hallmark Packaging

I found these vintage Hallmark invitations in the local Lighthouse thrift store.  I was really excited about these because I am interested in tea, tea time, and tea parties.  I might actually use these someday and host tea.  I really like the embossed tea cup,  The packaging says it is 60 cents for the back, which makes me think it's really old.
