This month's Lost Crates Stationery choice is called Jetsetter, and focuses on travel-themed items.
From top clockwise:Albertine Press Jet Set Cards, a set of 8 note cards with complementary envelopes featuring collages of vintage stamps from around the world.
Contexture Designs Map Notebook featuring a cover made from a map, and using a very nice cream/ivory blank paper that's about 80gsm and feels fountain pen friendly.
A very cute handmade Cracked Designs card featuring a map of North America with a red string and two small fasteners so you can map your journey across the US, Canada or upper Mexico.
Finally, a set of Forest Choice colored pencils manufactured from certified incense-cedar.
Excellent choices, and I especially like that Map Notebook. What was in your delivery this month?
Albertine Press cards are also sold through On Paper in Columbus, OH. I ordered some Crane cards through OP: energetic people, and very good service. They sell online.
ReplyDeleteI needed stationery to replace the postcards I'd used for years. The very occasional thank-you note, and so on. Unlined Mead paper and envelopes, the drug store stuff, work surprisingly well. I also bought dead-plain Crane and Original Crown Mill correspondence cards. They suggest that you care about the person you're writing to, without overplaying your hand--all that with initials, borders, embossing, etc. On Paper and Swisher Pens. Jack/Youngstown
I received the exact same items. It's a nice collection this month.

It appears as if everyone gets the same crate every month now?
ReplyDeleteYup - they are actually announcing the contents on the lostcrates.com site.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite items this time are the letterpress cards and the map card.
