Dear Everyone ~
Bundles of Stationery Joy have been a perennial & seasonal favourite since the spring of 2020. In March that year, when the pandemic became official, I announced “Stationery for the Socially Stationary” and talked about corresponding as a way to connect and stay connected. I received so many heartwarming emails (and orders!) from customers that I posted an assortment of their comments, and proceeded to create Deluxe Bundles of Stationery Joy, wrapped in vintage Japanese tie-dyed papers from my reserves. By that summer, they became Booster Bundles—boostering my donation to the MoveOn #savethepostoffice campaign. I remain enveloped in deep gratitude for the incredible and positive responses I received, bringing my final donation to $700. Three beauteous bundles ensued: the Autumnal Bundle, the Scenic Wrap, and, this past holiday season heralded our Dressiest Bundle, cosseted in a Japanese semi-vintage Kikkō sheet beribboned in gold organza.
To celebrate the two-year anniversary of bundling, Cambridge Imprint Special Papers are this spring's choice (and choicest!). I’ve assembled a binder’s dozen bundles (a baby bounty), each one presented in a different blue or red wrapper, beribboned in whipped creamy organza.
Each bundle offers 30-some assorted pieces, including letterpress-printed notecards, hand-bordered sheets with matching envelopes, and at least three enclosure cards, including one handmade from Italy and one from Smythson’s in the U.K. The freshest additions are: a trio of Cambridge Imprint postcards & a quartet of the brand new Mountain Flora postage stamps, featuring the lovely artwork of Lili Arnold. As it happens, Audrey Kuhn (our guest encloser here, the eldest niece of my postal muse) was already enamored of Lili’s artwork. She has three of the artist’s prints in her office: a pair of black-and-white prints above her desk and a vivid succulent nearby. The postage stamps & Cambridge Imprint postcards are tucked into a Cambridge Imprint envelope perfect for posting a postcard.

Continuing the Cambridgerton Caper, we’ve also restocked the red and blue boxed assortments of Special Small Papers: two dozen 12 x 16 sheets, two each of twelve different patterns, for your papery pursuits.
