I know this may shock you…but I’ve taken a break from monograms! I still love them, but the creative team at Dempsey & Carroll has created such amazing motifs for their stationery that it seems…enough. Monogram not necessary.
My personal favorite is the crown motif. Maybe it’s Queen Elizabeth. Or Harry’s recent royal romp, but I can’t get enough of this symbol.
Another thing that I can’t get enough of is colored pens. I love to coordinate my ink color to the envelope liners, which thankfully come in a rainbow of shades in each box.
I’ve heard a lot of buzz about Le Pen brand pens (and I have some on order), but I have to praise my Stabilo pens. Fine point, great colors!
Dempsey & Carroll is having a fantastic sale on many of their motif sets, so be sure and check it out and stock up for gifts!
What are you favoring these days? Black ink or colored? Monograms or motifs?
You are my go-to source for stationary suggestions. You keep us up to date on the wonderful options available. Thanks beautiful!
Love it…and have a thing for crowns myself. Will have to check out the sale…..enjoy your weekend Elizabeth!
I happen to adore paper and any sort of lovely motif or monogram. I am loving an acorn for fall…..

I'm in desperate need for new stationary so I will certainly check this out! I love the crown motif as well! Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for sharing this!
I could definitely get used to stationary with crowns! 🙂 Have a great weekend Elizabeth!
Another great suggestion–I adore lovely stationery. Thanks! Happy weekend.
Lately it's motifs and colors for me as well! I love these colorful liners. I've ordered the tory burch hammock cards for myself and can't wait for them to arrive!
Love the royal looking crown – even if Price Harry's is a little crooked these days! New stationary and pens are like back-to-school supplies for adults, don't you think! Such a smart idea to match pen color to envelope liner. How clever!
Have a bright and colorful weekend, Elizabeth XO
Wait, what?? I have to choose? You can have both!

We're of the same mindset – assorting our pen colors to stationery is a must! Would love to know if Dempsey & Carroll make note cards with a bee motif… Will have to check. Happy weekend, Elizabeth.

Oh Elizabeth, you always know the perfect thing! I love those!
So pretty Elizabeth. I think if we all had this stationary it would inspire us to write more! The polka dot and nautical red and blue is very nice and priced well with the sale! I'm going to check out the pens as well. Thanks for sharing!
Have a nice weekend!

We love the Petite Gold Crown. It's great for thank-you notes or as a motif on a calling card. We hope the pink tulip fans will enjoy this special offer of free shipping good through the end of August – pinktulip12
There's really nothing like pen and paper! These are so classy!
