I send a lot of thank you notes. A lot. I send them to people I interview, people I know. I tend to get blank notecards, so I can send them for birthdays and the like as well, instead of wasting my hard-earned cash at Hallmark. Check out these fantastic cards and notes over at Etsy.

Papered together has some cute little hedgehog hello cards. I adore hedgehogs, $12 for four.

These peapod flat notecards are bright and fun for any occasion, from Pink bathtub, $6 for three.

Although oh my cavelier has plenty of birds on their cards and prints, I’m fond of these vintage-looking undergarment cards, $9 for four .
