And here is our 2nd new thank you note, Much Appreciated, she hails from Savannah, Georgia. This pattern is a "re-coloration" of this year's (May in fact) Savannah pattern. I love the pattern but just haven't been all that crazy about how the colors have printed in the past so I changed it to cream, a gold and a light grey-blue. I kind of love it now to be honest. I think she looks like a starlet.
The card was inspired by (other than Savannah) my dear Alston, who's last day was today :( Alston is from Georgia and we were talking about how sayings change through out the U.S. When she said people in Georgia say "Much Appreciated", I thought... "god I love that". I have a real thing for southern accents. I'm somewhat memorized by them (I'm also mesmerized by the accents of Southie - see the departed or gone baby gone - but just in a different way). I find Southern accents so charming and sweet. Miss Alston doesn't have much of an accent, but she does say y'all occasionally which I totally love.
I think this is going to be a really interesting thing to explore, the different ways people say things like thank you, happy birthday, congratulations and such in the U.S.
Well I am leaving you my darlings. The car is packed and I'm headed to New York for a week to show our goods at the Stationery Show. I'll be staying for the weekend at a hotel (I'm so looking forward to the bathrobes, cable tv, hbo and take out) sans Sasso and then at my dear Marie's place. I'm hoping to blog from the show so I can show you the process of setting up and the booths and our wares... I'm a bit nervous but more excited to meet so many ladies that I have been talking to online for the last couple years.
I just need to add this (WARNING: ANTM SPOILER)........
Ok, that was fair warning. I am so pumped that miss Whitney won. So so so pumped. It's nice to see a lady with a booty get some recognition. Plus she is gorgeous. Oh boy, what am I going to watch after Gossip Girl's Monday night finale... all my teenage shows will be over for the season. Ta-Ta
