Letterpress Note card - We are all in the gutter...
More Note Cards
We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! The simple design represents the simple sentiment so well. And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the letters with your fingers.
Atop the provocative quote from Oscar Wilde shines a golden star bursting with brightness. At first glance, it appears to be lightly humorous:
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde
But, on further thought, perhaps the droll Mr. Wilde was changing from satire to strength. Especially appropriate in today's economy, perhaps he considered that no matter how dire the circumstance, there are some of us who see the bright side, a light at the end of the tunnel of night.
The 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inch size is just what you need for a short message or a quick note of encouragement.

The Grace of Wild Things Note Card
More Birds of All Kinds
Nick Wroblewski is a Midwest-based printmaker specializing in hand-cut wood block prints. His images are depictions of the natural world, carved from large blocks of wood and printed one color at a time. He uses a traditional method of carving away more material as the print progresses, resulting in the eventual elimination of the textured image on the block. He is very interested in art that is hand hewn, art that shows the gesture of a landscape, and art that speaks to the dynamic energy shared between all life.
When there seems to be no hope, this message is a gentle one to be offered, along with the gorgeous print of a new dawn:
Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings while the dawn is still dark.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Each 5 by 7 inch card is letter-press printed on a textured 100% recycled paper with soy based inks, and is accompanied by an envelope for mailing.

More Rabbits & Bunnies
Now why won't anyone help this poor little bunny?! He appears to have lost one of all of the eggs that are in his basket. Might he be the Easter Bunny? And, whether he wants to go up or down is of no significance. He merely needs some assistance from the bored and unhelpful crowd.
From the imaginative mind of artist Gerhard Glück, this delightful card will surely touch the heart of all rabbit lovers and those who root for the under-rabbit!

Art Postcard - Never Doubt...
More Courage
If you're not happy with the way things are, you can make a difference! That's the message from renowned anthropologist, Margaret Mead, on this wonderful art postcard designed in the tradition of 1960s posters. The illustration and calligraphy by Jody Richards certainly highlight Mead's sentiment:
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has.

Mini Saint Jude Statue
Saint Jude is the Patron Saint of lost or impossible causes. It is believed that this patronage has been derived from the confusion by many early Christians between Jude and Judas not understanding the difference in the names. No one ever prayed for Jude's help, and devotion to him became something of a lost cause.
Made famous by comedian Danny Thomas, St Jude has come to represent hope and much more than just lost causes. St Jude's Children's Research Hospital, created by Danny Thomas after his prayer was heard, provides treatment for children who suffer from catastrophic medical conditions, without regard to the family's ability to pay.
This tiny statue is a symbol of the spirit of the saint who has given so much hope to so many. Made of resin with a metallic silver finish, the statuette measures about 1 inch tall.

Working On IT Note Card
Book by Susan Mrosek
Susan Mrosek is the astonishing artist of these absolutely wonderful cards! For perseverance, encouragement, or just a thought, the woman in the illustration is working with a little bottle labeled:
This and that
The message reads:
What can I say but I'm working on it, all of it - everything in its entirety; I've left nothing out. I can't say when it'll be complete, only that I'll not cease until it's longer, rounder, tighter...and a little more red.

Enamel Red Cloud Pendant
More Pendants & Necklaces
More Native American Indian Items
Red Cloud, known to the Lakota People as Makhpiya Luta was born in 1822. As a war leader of the Native American Indian Tribe of the Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation, he was one of the most capable world leaders of the 19th Century. Until his death in 1909, he continued to lead his people even in reservation life. Red Cloud rejected leasing land to the US Government and remains highly respected because of his conviction and honesty.
This elegant greytone Portrait Pendant of Red Cloud measures 7/8 inch wide by 1-1/4 inch long. Made of vitreous enamel, each pendant is assembled by hand, so please allow for some variability.
Equally stunning as jewelry or as an art element in a shrine or assemblage, this unique piece is conservatively priced for such elegant craftsmanship.

This is My Wish for You
Frequently one wishes to say to another, "I wish you the best of everything." This book delivers this message with power and sincerity. Welleran Poltarnees has taken Charles Snell's text and selected a painting or illustration for each wish, giving additional life to an already marvelous text.
We assert, without exaggeration, that this is the nearly perfect gift book. It is the smaller hardcover version of a book with the same title, measuring 4-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches.
This is a book created to be given. At its center is a poem by Charles Snell which was written for, and published in, 1914 as a small gift book. In it the giver, in a series of concrete images, extends the recipient many good wishes.
In the 48-page volume, Snell's words are presented within borders made by Daniel Maclise for a book entitled Moore's Irish Melodies, published in 1846. Selected images accompany each wish. These are made by a great variety of painters and illustrators, and range over more than 150 years.
This Is My Wish for You is in the tradition of ancient blessings, in which one tries, through the power of language, to throw a mantle of protection and beneficence over the receiver.

We may run, walk, stumble, drive or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way.
The pendant measures 1 by 1-1/2 inches. Two pendants shown for illustration.

The image is based on the Mexican Loteria image, The World.
