Dear Everyone ~

For many moons I’ve had my eye, both eyes really, on Cambridge Imprint paper goods. They fill my thrill on all levels: their wonderful palettes, charming patterns, and the lovely feel of the papers themselves. Mixing & matching the colours & patterns is endlessly satisfying—especially the envelopes and address labels.

I’ve assorted the envelopes into a set of six different patterns, and included six hand-cut ivory Stonehenge notes. The address labels—in grand and petite formats— boast borders that border on quandary-provoking. The pairings are almost infinite!

The companion postcards come in a set of six, 2 each of 3 colourways: Deep Twilight, Golden Yellow, and Slate. You can mail them as a postcard or tuck them into a Cambridge envelope.

Of course there are notebooks as well, for musing, jotting, doodling, etc. The 40 ivory pages take all manner of writing and drawing implements smoothly. And the labels, in either format, look fabulous on the patterned covers.

And the Cambridgers have won my heart by offering boxes of patterned papers, both in origami squares and in wrapping sheets large enough to cover...a book! The wrapping sheets are also heavenly for making a large envelope (or nesting set thereof).

The origami papers (36 different patterns of 6 x 6 sheets) come with a set of instructions for folding butterflies. It seems that the collective noun for these is “cloud,” which sets my heart aflutter.

The wrapping sheets, which measure 12 x 16, are truly rapturous: two assortments (blue and red), each presenting 2 sheets of 12 different patterns, in a lined keepsake box. The patterns in each assortment are the same, so you can wrap (or cover, or line) a duet of books or other objets as a pair.
