A package journeyed across the straight from Vancouver and arrived at Still Life For Her today filled with sweet sentiments of love, longing, best wishes and the types of things you wish you could always say to those who mean the most to you. Inside were some of our favourites and some inspiring, brand new Dani Press Greeting Cards from our friend Dani Kreeft.

A long time ago Dani heard that to get the things you want in life, you have to first decide what you want. She cut out the self-doubt, let go of the word "should", drove away from the noise and eventually knew what she wanted. Her beautiful line of greeting cards comes from ten years of wanting: a card line of wayward travel photos and old typewriter text to inspire people, to give them the words they want to say but don't know how to, to give something meaningful.

Each card measures 4-3/8" x 5-3/4" and is sold tucked into something earthy: a grocery bag envelope made from 100% recycled materials. Action Envelope, the company Dani sources her envelopes from, is also 100% wind-powered and committed to greener efforts to help keep our earth beautiful.

Remind someone how much you care about them, with beautiful new cards from Dani Press.

Just in time for Holiday well-wishing we've received a dozen beautifully illustrated greeting cards from the super sweet stationary line, Red Cap Cards.

Red Cap Cards was founded in Beverly Hills, California by Hal Mertz and illustrator Carrie Gifford. In 2007 Red Cap began collaborating with illustrators, artists and designers from around the world. The artists behind Red Cap are story tellers who have created a unique collection of cards that are truly original and one of a kind.

We've received stocks offering sentiments from Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to Happy Birthday & Thank You. As they work with a mix of illustrators from around the world, the inspiration for Red Cap Cards comes from a variety of sources from fairy tales and flemish painters to playful elegance and sophisticated delight. Red Cap Cards are available now at Still Life For Her.

We began our relationship with Dani's Vancouver-based line of sweet, poignant greeting cards this past spring and flew through many of our favourites faster than we could restock them. This summer we had a chance to visit with Dani and wrote a nice big order to take us well into autumn 2011 with her beautiful cards.

Each card measures 4-3/8" x 5-3/4" and is sold tucked into something earthy: a grocery bag envelope made from 100% recycled materials. Action Envelope, the company Dani sources her envelopes from, is also 100% wind-powered and committed to greener efforts to help keep our earth beautiful.

our ever-growing sundry display wall at the back of the store received three new editions this week, with greeting cards, notepads and ballpoint pens filling the space:

  • IBM "think" note jotters: when IBM CEO thomas watson sr joined C-T-R in 1914, he brought with him the "think" slogan. by the 1930's, the word had become famous as IBM's corporate motto. now it's an icon tied forever to IBM. these slim, textured vinyl note pads have been standard issue in IBM creative offices for decades. synthetic caramel faux-leather  wrapped over cardboard with "THINK" embossed on the front cover, the notepads (or "thinkpads") come with two refills and are sized 3" X 4.25" to fit neatly in any shirt, jacket or pant pocket.
  • kikkerland design inc retro pens (sets of 5): since 1992, the folks at kikkerland design have traveled the world in search of original designs for things that can make life more enjoyable. clever things to intrigue you. smart things that make everyday tasks easier. and gentle things that make you feel happier when you use them. in retro, two-toned colour combinations, their blue ink ball point pens come in sets of 5 to keep creativity constantly running through your fingertips.
  • dani press greeting cards: a long time ago dani kreeft heard that to get the things you want in life, you have to first decide what you want. she cut out the self-doubt, let go of the word "should", drove away from the noise and eventually knew what she wanted. her beautiful line of greeting cards comes from ten years of wanting: a card line of wayward travel photos and old typewriter text to inspire people, to give them the words they want to say but don't know how to, to give something meaningful.
