<p>A fantastic book or film is really a little world you can barely stand to tear yourself away from. As much as you can&#8217;t wait to see how it resolves itself, you don&#8217;t want it to end, you want to stay lost in that beautiful world. And so it is too, in a way, with a really great product line.</p>
<p>That is the precise feeling I get from the relaunch of <a href="http://www.shopantiquaria.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antiquaria</a> — a very creative undertaking between Bailey Amon and Emma James. I only recently became familiar with the company when Bailey kindly responded to my letter-writing campaign. The redesign of both their site &; branding just took my breath away, and I know very well from experience that such an undertaking is many things, but an easy process is not one of them.</p>
<p>To me, the most interesting wedding invitations not only give a taste of the event to come (as conventional wisdom dictates they must), they tell a story. So their Vintage West collection — one of their most popular rubber stamp and letterpress collections to date — alludes to romance atop sunkissed, dry vistas. The fact that the collection can be bought as stamps — creating impressions that can have the uneven quality that derives from age — rings very true to the theme&#8217;s overall feel, I think.</p>

<p>Calligraphy envelope addressing by Bailey is also offered by calendar availability. I can tell you that receiving one of these gems in the mail, as I did, was a most lovely experience! A well-addressed envelope is definitely the essential icing on the invitation cake these days.</p>

<p>Antiquaria will be starting a calligraphy in-person workshop series in 2014, but and their new (and very popular) calligraphy kit coordinates with their new blog series, <a href="http://antiquariavintage.blogspot.com/search/label/calligraphy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Calligraphy Tutorial</a>. As a sufferer of lifelong sloppy penmanship — possibly a requirement of working in publishing — I need this.</p>

<p> A relaunch of a paper company is not complete without paying attention to the actual paper, in this case, what Antiquaria&#8217;s clients will find in packages and shipments. How chic is this? I love that rose gold foil!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.shopantiquaria.com/" rel="attachment wp-att-1703"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Antiquaria-Images.jpg" alt="Antiquaria Images" width="648" height="435" /></a>Finally, that amazing black, salmon, lavender, orange and brown floral — a palette I never would have thought I&#8217;d like, but is so enchanting! — is on a thank-you note as well. The Zoe floral thank-you comes in a <a href="https://shopantiquaria.com/search?q=box+set&;options%5Bprefix%5D=last" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxed set of six for $12</a>. That&#8217;s very affordable style, especially when the product looks like an Anthropologie dress in paper form.</p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-46807" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-46807 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="46807" 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-10016857 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites tag-buyers-guide tag-cards tag-design tag-greeting-cards tag-j-crew tag-j-falkner-cards tag-magazine tag-maison-objet tag-sarah-schwartz tag-stationery tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-design tag-stationery-designer tag-stationery-trends tag-thank-you-stationery" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/extra-extra-read-all-about-it/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.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/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1 100w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=120%2C120&;ssl=1 120w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=275%2C275&;ssl=1 275w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=372%2C372&;ssl=1 372w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=567%2C567&;ssl=1 567w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=882%2C882&;ssl=1 882w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=300%2C300&;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?resize=50%2C50&;ssl=1 50w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JFQ-opener.jpg?zoom=2&;resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1 200w" 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/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/extra-extra-read-all-about-it/">Extra!
