Crane & Co. Holiday Greetings: A Few of Our Favorite Things

Holiday / Promotions / Stationery

It’s hard to think of eggnog and snow when your ice cream is furiously melting into a vanilla puddle. But Crane & Co.’s new personalized holiday greetings collection just arrived and so we can’t help but think wintry thoughts.

Below are some select favorites, but if that doesn’t get you excited (as if), there’s also the 10 percent off promotion Crane & Co. is running until October 31st.

But we know why you’re really here – the pretty pictures, of course, so here you go…

We could spend hours perusing vintage boutiques for the perfect parlor accents, which is why we love classic designs like the nutcracker above.

You can see more of this perennially favorite line of holiday greeting cards, holiday invitations, and stationery here at Salutations in Chapel Hill or Charlotte, North Carolina.

Season of Hope & Thanks
Hope is in the Cards

Information & Education / Miscellaneous

This month, this season, this year . . . it seems especially important to stop and take stock of all the good things we have in our lives and to try to share something that will give hope to those who may be in need in some way.  I love to be inspired ~ and I’m learning that when you really open your eyes, there is inspiration everywhere.  So this month, I’d like to feature on the Inspirations blog those ideas, events, companies and products for which I am thankful, that have inspired me, and that give hope and inspiration to others.

I’d like to begin the series by highlighting the Hope is in the Cards movement, started by Russ Haan ~ a small business owner who had an idea one day that has caught on like wildfire.  Here is the essence of the movement:

What if every American sent just one letter or card of support to another American. What would happen? What would it do to our collective national spirit if the word HOPE was written on the back of every envelope?

You’d go to your mailbox and it would be filled with something besides bills and collections notices. It would contain HOPE.  And better yet, you might even have a personal card or letter from someone saying THANK YOU or I BELIEVE IN YOU.

Those kinds of messages can do more than just make someone’s day brighter for a moment - they can change people’s lives.

So, if you’d like to help spread a little hope this season, join in Hope Fridays ~ think of the end of the week as a good time to mail something positive.  It would mean that, early in the next week, someone is gong to receive an unexpected card or letter of support.

So today, please take 1 minute, send 1 card, to 1 person. That’s all it takes to help invigorate the spirit of possibility.  If that’s not possible for you, then just write the word HOPE on the back of anything you mail. Fast, free, easy, and it puts HOPE back out there.
