<p>Co-author Chelsea Shukov visits The Paper Fold to show you how not to just add polish to your correspondence, but to truly and authentically connect with those you love with letters that truly reflect you. Since Chelsea and her <a href="https://sugarpaper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sugar Paper</a> co-founder Jamie Grobecker have helped their clientele do exactly this in their branded LA boutiques for some time, they are uniquely equipped to pen this sturdy little magnum opus. As such, expect this blush pink, gold-foiled guide to be marked up and dog-eared as it is referenced again and again, as life circumstances demand.</p>

<p>Since 2003, Sugar Paper&#8217;s upscale stationery offerings have wowed clients around the globe — ;and their ongoing office collaborations with Target are the stationery stuff of legend. ;As Chelsea sagely points out, the traditional rules of etiquette and card-sending were developed to help us connect during life&#8217;s milestones and challenges, but if they don&#8217;t feel authentic, they need to be revisited and revised.</p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-52396" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-52396 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="52396" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-5840 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-off-the-press tag-antiquaria tag-bailey-ammon tag-dansk tag-emma-james tag-foil-printing tag-greeting-cards tag-patterned-paper tag-pocket-notebooks tag-russell-wright tag-sarah-schwartz tag-the-paper-chronicles" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/this-just-in-antiquaria-goes-wholesale/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=293%2C293&;ssl=1 293w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=75%2C75&;ssl=1 75w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=390%2C390&;ssl=1 390w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=585%2C585&;ssl=1 585w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ANTIQUARIA-GREETING-CARDS-1-e1408309888336.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/off-the-press/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Off The Press</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/this-just-in-antiquaria-goes-wholesale/">This Just In: Antiquaria Goes Wholesale!</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2014-08-18T11:36:06+00:00">August 18, 2014</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="5840"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>

<p>Jamie and Chelsea have reviewed every last one with the proverbial red pen, keeping what works and tweaking what doesn&#8217;t. You may be surprised to see their 21st century take, starting with their first golden rule: Embrace your handwriting. Plus we talk salutations and send offs, why gushing over our favorite people is best done in letter form —and how the meaning of every last missive changes over time.</p>
