I have a confession to make.
I have a thing for beautiful stationery. Hand engraved. Sumptuous paper. Monogrammed.
And for years, I indulged my habit with Mrs. John L. Strong. When they closed their doors (and took my engraving plates with them), I was lost. Until I found…the Printery, in Oyster Bay, NY.
The images above are from inside the century-old stationer. They make stationary the old fashioned way.
The envelopes are lined by hand.
Bespoke stationery
Samples of their gift enclosure cards
I ♥ this card, used for birth announcements. I’d use it for Valentines.
Hand tied bows on wedding programs
Elegant desk calendar
And, here it is.
Hand engraved. Sumptuous paper. With my monogram – and coordinating envelope liner. Expensive? Yes. Worth every penny? I think so. And, I’m not the only one…read what others had to say.
Want to try out their products without the long term commitment?
Well, 2 of you are in luck. The Printery has given me 2 sets of “beach” themed notepads to pass along to you. Join me as a “follower, if you haven’t already — leave a comment by Friday at midnight and I’ll announce the winners on Monday!
So many messages today come with the tagline “Sent by my iphone“. Don’t you appreciate the art of the handwritten note?
xo,
Elizabeth

A hand written note on those beautiful note cards(and I bet you have lovely handwriting too) would not only be thoughful, but heartfelt I am sure. The Printery is a hop skip and a jump from where I live in Locust Valley. You have inspired me to pay a visit…good thing hubby does not read comments – LOL!
Best,
Colleen
I love beautiful stationary also, but don't indulge too often. Thank you very much for this awesome giveaway.
Beautiful stationery is a must have — but I also will never give up my iphone! Great monogram on your cards!
Gorgeous!
Simply lovely. Handwritten notes are a must in this era of email, twitter and texts.
North – that would be a treat. I've always done business with them over the phone.
Lynn – it's definitely an indulgence. Good luck!
Stitchfork – I'm with you – keeping my iphone but love sending or receiving a handwritten note!
Alexis – 🙂
Ann – i hope they never go out of fashion!

Boeses – need your address —- still have your give away!!! Can't find your email. 🙂
I so agree about the written note. I am afraid it is going to become a lost art due to modern technology. I hope not!! I love these wonderful notes, what a beautiful presentation with the bows. I am already a follower so sign me up!! Happy Thursday,Kathysue
Love the fine printery.
Alison – thank you…good luck!
Kathysue – Good luck – I'm with you – I'm afraid it's a lost art.
KD- thank you! Hope that ankle is better!! 🙂
Oh such beautiful stationary.
I often send hand written notes to family and friends. Let's be honest; we're all still little children at heart and get excited when we get mail.
Jo
Jo – that's so true! Nothing beats a little something in the mailbox!
I'm obsessed with beautiful stationary. One of my favorite things is to send my friends snail mail…these would be perfect for my notes to them!
Beautiful stationary! I am a followe.I love the horse and monogram….so cute. Happy Friday! xx
You have always had beautiful stationery and beautiful handwriting to match. Last week I was going through a box of letters my sister had been keeping for me all these years and there are several letters from you. I have to mention in one circa 1980, you talk about teaching me to write with your italic pen and your quest to increase your # of penpals….it's hilarious and I'm going to scan it and send to you. You have kept to your true passions in life and are very inspiring.
Delicious – I love that you enjoy snail mail!
Tide – horses — do tell!
Izzy- if that wasn't a riot reading my 13 year old self writing to you, all those years ago. I guess I haven't changed too much! Thank you for sending it over!
