<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It may only technically comprise 25% of the year, but somehow the three short months of summer end up housing our most precious memories. Small wonder then, that this season also makes an ideal setting for stationery. These fabulous finds from <a href="https://www.shadesofexpressiondesigns.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shades of Expressions Designs </a>capture the sun-kissed sights, sounds and even the smells of my favorite season — you can almost feel the sand stuck in your toes!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This New Jersey house of paper is a woman-run, all-American family enterprise in every sense of the word. Three generations of women each play a role in generating all the stationery you see here &#8230; as well as a whole lot more. It all began with one prolific artist mom whose two daughters and granddaughter keep her vibrant work alive. Perhaps these notecards, journals, mugs and coasters have a role to play in your story?
