I have gotten wiser, though. I love the Marchant designs, but rather than her collections, 2 each of four designs, which meant that I sent four and kept four out of each collection, I now buy all the same design, so I can send seven, or nine, or eleven, and keep one.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

No, Aimee. I keep thinking I will then I pick something else.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I have this terrible horrible habit of not being able to use the last example of a notecard design. I have this bulging file of single notecards from nearly every box I've ever had.
You could frame them. I bought some postcards from Stella Marrs, with the sole plan of framing them.
These postcards, if anyone is interested: Chubbette; Too fond of books; and Miss Lang, Secretary (that's my last name, and I simply had to have the postcard, because I've never seen my name anywhere else). I framed them together in a black frame with 3 openings.

Stop me if I've told this story. I used to handle memorial donations for a nonprofit. Often a check would be tucked into a gorgeous notecard. I can't tell you how many times I lopped off the front of the card (making sure all relevant information was recorded before I performed this theft) and had it matted and framed. I've given so many of these tiny framed jewels away over the years. And like Steph, I've bought notecards specifically for framing.
It's a sickness.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
So far, the only notecards I specifically bought for framing are a set of three from Where The Wild Things Are. B&N had one new one each month for three months in a row a few years back. I love that book. I was unhappy there were only three.

move out and draw fire
I've got some antique map notecard framed, and used to have some of Da Vinci's sketches...huh, wonder where those went? Oh! and a couple Winnie-the-Pooh sketches for the book illustrations. The Where the Wild Things Are sound adorable...the closest I can come is a 5" Max in his wolf suit that guards my computer.

Oh, man, I need one of those, Raquel. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it.
