Stationary, stickers and ink

I'm not paper obsessed.  I walked once into a PaperSource and immediately right out again- the store confused me and intimidated me.  However, I do love stationary and note cards.   For high school graduation I received a box of Crane & Co note cards with my name embossed on the card and the envelope.  I fell in love.  I've been lucky to receive a few more boxes of similar stationary as an adult and a few months ago, I took the plunge and ordered some for me and D$ from minted. 

I purposely didn't order return address stickers or have anything printed on the envelope, waiting for the day we'd get a house.  Well, we did- so it was time to order stickers or a stamp to go with our stationary.  After searching on PaperSource (their stamps were on sale), I had a hard time finding something to go with 1. our stationary and 2. that could accomidate one house hold with multiple last names.  Finally, my search led me back to minted, to find the wrap around return address stickers that match our stationary:

On the front (the orange part) I had our last names and address printed, and on the back- to match our stationary I had "Jennifer & D$" printed.  I love the way they turned out- and they add a little fun and whimsy to our note cards!

For our change of address cards- I knew we wanted to do a photo card (I love photo cards!) and wanted to show off our new house.  I was pretty underwhelmed by the options out there, but revereted back to my old standby Shutterfly for the card production.  I was pleased with the quality and the price was right too. 

Of course, I needed return address labels for the change of address cards and luckily, Shutterfly had a deal for me on those too:

Recently, I stummbled across this etsy shop and am trying to figure out why I would need to order this stamp:

Love it!  Perhaps, I need my own set of note cards and return address stamps, for all my personal correspondance!
