The photographs in this all occasion box set of 12 note cards pays homage to the inspiration I find in my urban garden in New York City and nature scenes in the surrounding areas. I took all the photographs myself and created this set. Each card is printed with a continuous image that wraps around the entire card. When the card is opened up, it showcases an image that is suitable for framing, making this card double as an art print (a great gift for the holidays!). Several of the cards in this set are done in a more impressionistic style, giving you a wide range of imagery to select from when giving these cards as a gift. The card set comes in a protective plastic box and each card comes with a colored or white envelope.

A number of my clients, including the actress Donna Wandrey (a stage actress also known for her work in Dark Shadows), love to send these cards for holidays and special occasions. Each card is a great Valentine's Day card, Passover Card, and Easter Card, or the entire set is a great birthday gift.

These cards are about more than communication. In the era of E-Cards, my desire to bring back the practice of sending a paper card, and all the care this artful manner of human connection conveys, is stronger than ever.

As Daniel Okrent states in a November ’09 review of Thomas Mallon's book (Yours Ever, People and Their Letters), “Mallon’s writing about a practice that for at least eight centuries was the primary means of communication between people who happened not to be in the same place at the same time. It was more than just communication, though; it was a form of human conduct enhanced, even exalted, by the demands it imposed on those who practiced it.” Okert explains that Mallon writes, “The small hardships of letter writing — having to think a moment longer before completing utterance; remaining in suspense while awaiting reply; having one’s urgent letters cross in the mail — are the things that enrich it, emotionally and rhetorically... Given the present and future of letter writing, it’s a privilege to be cherished.” ”

Participate in the privilege of letter writing by sending one of these beuatiful greeting cards.
