Fabulous Stationery Container, January 10, 2006
This review is from: 232 Piece Deluxe Stationery Boxed Set (Hardcover)
This 232 Piece Deluxe Stationery Boxed Set is SO worth the money. It has some very pretty note cards of a single red rose and the others have a bunch of violets. These are graphic and look a bit old-fashioned - very nice - maybe a Victorian look.
The stationery has pale pansies in the background. The envelope paper is just a bit below standard, but they come with gold seals. The container is what is so cool! It is styled in the shape of a thick book with purple satin ties to close. It is very well constructed and could be used for years to come to store letters or photos. The all over look is a pretty light green and white vertical stripe with various colored butterflies, iris, roses, pansies, peach blossoms, red carnations and camellias. There are various scripted floral writings that are lovely. The binding is a purple canvas. I bought one for myself and one for my mother. I made her some address labels,included some tiny floral stickers to place upon the gold seals and a pretty pen and she was just thrilled!There is ample room inside to purchase some different things to add to your stationery box to make it even more elegant.The measurements of the box are approx. 8"WX10 1/4L"X2 1/4"D.

Nice stationery for a good price, February 23, 2006
This review is from: 232 Piece Deluxe Stationery Boxed Set (Hardcover)
I'm always looking for stationery; it's one of those consumables, like toilet paper or bread that one always wants to have on hand. Although most of my correspondence is done via email, I enjoy the personal touch that a physical note provides. So, I try to write to family and friends regularly.
Sometimes I just want to send a quick "thinking of you" note without paying $3.95 for a greeting card. Other times I want to pour out the details of a trip or event onto multiple pages to share with my reader, and for them to share with their family, friends, and posterity.
This stationery set is ideal for both. Everything is very nice quality; thick, smooth paper. The notecards are lovely and perfect for short notes. The letter paper is thick enough to write on both sides of the paper and still have the writing be readable, which isn't always the case. There is enough paper that I can write longer letters without worrying about having tons of envelopes left over, and the decorations on the paper do not overwhelm the ink, so all of each page is usable.
We also keep responses (from those few recipients who still write "real" letters themselves) in the lovely box, both for reference in sending our replies and (when the stationery is gone) as keepsakes.
Well worth the money - I'm planning to get a couple more of these for gifts!
