<p>Love may mean never having to say you&#8217;re sorry, but modern life necessitates the occasional apology. I actually find that falling on one&#8217;s sword is far preferable to the blame game — an apology is actually an opportunity to showcase your charm. And what better way to set a sophisticated stage for a meaningful <em>mea culpa</em> than with these tongue-in-cheek apology cards from <a href="http://www.joniulmanlewis.com/index.php" target="_blank">Visual Treats Design Studio</a>?</p>
<p>These 4&#8243;x6&#8243; cards come in packs of six, $14, so you&#8217;ll be all set for your next gaffe. And if you are going to <a href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com" target="_blank">National Stationery Show</a> at signature mix marketplace, Visual Treats will be in booth 2268. I am hoping Joni Ulman Lewis, the face behind the line, will bring some of her artwork — very Joseph Cornell-esque.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not surprising that Joni, an admitted flea market fiend, pack rat, paper junkie and former window dresser, is originating fun ideas like a Denim Rescue Service. I have to check my closet, but I think I have the perfect pair!</p>
