			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The upcoming <a title="NationalStationeryShow" href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com" target="_blank">National Stationery Show</a>, held May 16 through May 19 in New York, has got me thinking about my favorite new designs for written correspondence. Though normally drawn to the traditionally beautiful, lately I&#8217;ve come to appreciate the quirkier styles on the market, leaning toward the cute, witty, tongue-in-cheek, unusual, creative and just plain fun. Below, I&#8217;ve rounded up eight of my current picks:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.seteditions.com/index.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-2573 alignleft" title="Les Paul" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/3.jpg" alt="" width="316" height="420" /></a><br />
The &#8220;Guitars&#8221; set from Set Editions pays tribute to one of the late, great guitar gods with a Gibson Les Paul letterpress piece, joined by a Fender Stratocaster, Gibson Explorer and a Gretsch Classic Hollow Body—for penning notes to your most musically enthused friends. The set is available for purchase through the Set Editions website, <a title="Guitars" href="http://www.seteditions.com/letter-guitars.html" target="_blank">seteditions.com</a>, as well as select Target and Design Within Reach stores at $18 per set of eight, which includes two of each design.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.taigan.com/shops/themercantile/items/925"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2599" title="detail_Lagarto2" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/detail_Lagarto2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="401" /></a><br />
In store at <a title="TheMercantile" href="http://www.mercantileatlanta.com" target="_blank">The Mercantile</a> in Brookhaven as well as its <a title="TheMercantile" href="http://www.taigan.com/shops/themercantile" target="_blank">Taigan.com storefront</a>, this punchy and monogrammable <a title="Gadabout" href="http://www.taigan.com/shops/themercantile/items/925" target="_blank">Gadabout Logarto</a> card comes in a set of 25 for $45.</p>
<p><a href="http://nightowlpapergoods.com/product.php?productid=337&amp;cat=15&amp;page=6"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2577" title="Wood Thank You" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1301p.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="257" /></a><br />
I narrowly missed the chance to interview the co-creator of this kitschy line of eco-friendly stationery, Alan Henderson, in 2007 when he was working in the art department at <em>Southern Living</em>. But I&#8217;ve continued to follow his debut line of correspondence cards—many of them printed on wood and bamboo—and am oh-so smitten with this <a title="DanishFloral" href="http://nightowlpapergoods.com/product.php?productid=337&amp;cat=15&amp;page=6" target="_blank">&#8220;Danish Floral&#8221;</a> number as a clever bid of thanks. Get these for $5 each on the <a title="NightOwl" href="http://nightowlpapergoods.com" target="_blank">Night Owl Paper Goods </a> website or at <a title="StarProvisions" href="http://www.starprovisions.com" target="_blank">Star Provisions</a> on the Westside.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/AmberCollection_YoureMyType.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2578" title="AmberCollection_You'reMyType" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/AmberCollection_YoureMyType.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a><br />
It&#8217;s hard not to love typography when you work at a magazine. This card, part of <a title="ShopSCAD" href="http://www.shopscad.com/home.html" target="_blank">ShopSCAD</a>&#8216;s new <a title="AmberCollection" href="http://www.shopscad.com/cart/product.php?productid=17241&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1" target="_blank">Amber Collection</a>, is a clever play on both a romantic notion and one of the antique fonts we&#8217;ve come to know so well. Get this and many others in the collection for just $5 each at <a title="ShopSCAD" href="http://www.shopscad.com/home.html" target="_blank">ShopSCAD.com</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.crane.com/prdSell.aspx?name=RC3047-Engraved-Tennis-Themed-Pearl-White-Correspondence-Cards"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2579" title="Crane-Game-Set-Match" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Crane-Game-Set-Match.jpg" alt="" width="475" height="304" /></a><br />
This <a title="tennis" href="http://www.crane.com/prdSell.aspx?name=RC3047-Engraved-Tennis-Themed-Pearl-White-Correspondence-Cards" target="_blank">new engraved set</a> from <a title="Crane" href="http://www.crane.com/navHome.aspx" target="_blank">Crane &amp; Co.</a>, part of the 2010 line, is sure to become a preppy staple for all who love the game of tennis, at $34 for a set of 25.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/CatherineCollection2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2580" title="CatherineCollection2" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/CatherineCollection2.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="528" /></a><br />
The SCAD Working Class Studio&#8217;s new <a title="Catherine" href="http://www.shopscad.com/cart/product.php?productid=17219&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1" target="_blank">Catherine Collection</a> offers a fun way to teach little ones the important art of correspondence, at $5 per card. Get them at <a title="ShopSCAD" href="http://www.shopscad.com" target="_blank">ShopSCAD.com</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://feltandwireshop.com/products/649-your-curves-are-bangin-vector-heart-card"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2581" title="cassie_card_2_felt" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cassie_card_2_felt.jpg" alt="" width="365" height="410" /></a><br />
From the ever-inventive mind of Bill Grant at the <a title="GrantDesign" href="http://www.grantcollaborative.com" target="_blank">Grant Design Collaborative</a> in Canton, Georgia, <a title="curves" href="http://feltandwireshop.com/products/649-your-curves-are-bangin-vector-heart-card" target="_blank">this witty card</a> is an affectionate take on a modern theme—ubiquitous vector graphics—and a kitschy compliment. Get it for $6.50 at the <a title="FeltandWireShop" href="http://feltandwireshop.com" target="_blank">Felt &amp; Wire Shop</a>, an e-retailer of this collective&#8217;s wonderful wares, or at <a title="StoreatGrant" href="http://www.grantcollaborative.com/store.html" target="_blank">The Store at the Grant Design Collaborative</a> in downtown Canton.</p>
<p><a href="http://feltandwireshop.com/products/143-missing-u-card"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2584" title="bpr_missingu4" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bpr_missingu41.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="360" /></a><br />
Another find from the <a title="FeltandWire" href="http://feltandwireshop.com" target="_blank">Felt &amp; Wire Shop</a>, I just couldn&#8217;t resist the <a title="MissingU" href="http://feltandwireshop.com/products/143-missing-u-card" target="_blank">&#8220;Missing U&#8221;</a> cotton letterpress card from <a title="BluePoolRoad" href="http://bluepoolroad.com" target="_blank">bluepoolroad</a>, Los Angeles. Notice which letter of the alphabet is strategically absent from the scheme. Get these for $5 each at <a title="FeltandWireShop" href="http://feltandwireshop.com/products/143-missing-u-card" target="_blank">feltandwireshop.com</a>.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see what the <a title="StationeryShow" href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com" target="_blank">National Stationery Show</a> has in store for us this year. With nearly 1,000 exhibitors on the roster, it&#8217;s bound to be great!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always admired those who can tastefully mix bold colors and patterns. Yellow and green are my favorite colors, but I can never quite figure out how to spotlight them in my room. Perhaps I should take notes from the homeowner of this charming abode featured on <a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com" target="_blank">Design*Sponge</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/02/sneak-peek-vynsie-law.html"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1703" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/vynsie2-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a><br />
This antique card catalouge really pops against the two-toned wall.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/02/sneak-peek-vynsie-law.html"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1704" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/vynsie7-237x300.jpg" alt="" width="237" height="300" /></a><br />
There are so many colors and patterns in this room, but I love how they&#8217;re not fighting eachother—they&#8217;re in perfect harmony.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/02/sneak-peek-vynsie-law.html"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1705" src="http://blog.atlantahomesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/vynsie11-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a><br />
The wallpaper in this desk nook beautifully complements the yellow wall.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s not one room in this home that&#8217;s not a fun, quirky visual feast!<br />
Check out the rest of it <a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/02/sneak-peek-vynsie-law.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
