I can’t be the only one absolutely thrilled that my favorite season is not just here calendar-wise, but in actuality as well. But no matter what’s happening outside — after all, I do live in the famously fickle Cleveland climate! — these warm-weather finds from Shades of Expressions Designs celebrate the season as it gorgeously deserves.
Reviewing this most summer-y array of cards, coasters, boxed card sets, mugs, clipboards and journals, why, you can almost feel the sun beating down on you — tempered by a refreshing ocean breeze of course!
Of course, summer lives on in posterity on these selections in the way only stationery can achieve. I know I cannot be the only one who is transported in time every time I reread that letter or journal!
Best of all, by supporting this house of paper, you’re supporting an all-American family business in every sense of the word. Located in Warren, New Jersey, shop this multi-generation, women-owned brand on Etsy (where they are, unsurprisingly, a five-star seller), direct from their website, or, if you are in the trade, on Faire.
