We welcomed the newest little assistant, Oliver Ezra, to the world in February! If you’ve noticed it’s been a little quiet around here it’s because it’s been anything but quiet at home 😅
We’re getting back into the swing of things and can’t wait to show you all the new things we’ve been working on!

After growing up a Navy brat and experiencing living on the East Coast, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and even the Hawaiian Islands, there is something about the beauty of the that doesn’t compare to anywhere else. Having settled in a suburb of Seattle with my family, I wanted to dedicate a mini collection to the beauty of the culture and landscape I am honored to call home.

Retail shop spotlight: Orcas Island Leather Goods! We adore having our cards in Mindy & Mike’s beautiful shop on Orcas Island, and absolutely love their own products too (swipe for my pencil pouch I made from one of their kits!) We 💞our amazing shops, be sure to check them out!

How do you pick THE perfect card? When I’m scourging a card wall for “the one”, I’m often first drawn to more minimal, letterpress designs (shocker, I know). But after that, I try to think about what makes the recipient unique.
Your BFF with a few cats who are her children? Our “Happy Birthday to Mew” card is perfect! Your interior designer friend with literally, the cutest nursery? There’s a card for that!
Really thinking about how it’ll feel for your friend to open this card — not just if it’s beautiful or your aesthetic — is always the key to the 🌟perfect card. 🌟

Did you know the average person receives 20 greeting cards a year? A lot of these tend to be birthday cards, but there are plenty of ways to brighten someone’s day with some happy mail. 💌️ Our customizable Tailored Type cards have plenty of prompts! Link in bio ☝

It’s never too late to send a card. 💌
I’ve never felt more seen than when one of my favorite artists, , dropped her “Late But Thoughtful” sweatshirts (swipe to see!). I often feel like my brain is so excited about so many things that all of a sudden it’s Thursday and I missed a friend’s birthday on Tuesday. But you know what I’ve realized? A late card, note, text, or call is better than nothing at all because even if you’re a few days behind, your love and care should still be shared. So while being late is not ideal, it’s the thought that counts.
Also — a GREAT way to not miss recognizing a big occasion is by having several cards on hand for when you don’t have time to go shop. Follow the link in our bio for cards to have on hand for all occasions!

Today I’m doing a little (ask me anything) on my stories with my most frequently asked questions. Let me know below if there’s anything else you’ve wondered about Nonpareil Paperie!

Let’s play Two Truths and A Lie — can you guess correctly?
☝ I’ve broken seven bones.
✌ I actually use my college degree!
👌 I’m a big Oregon Ducks fan.
If you guess the lie was 👌, you are CORRECT! We are die-hard University of Washington fans over here and even writing the lie was painful 😂
But yes, I’ve broken my elbow, wrist, thumb, hand, two fingers, and my T3 vertebrae, some separately but some requiring both arms being casted at the same time (I’ll never be able to repay you for your help, Lara! ) I hold a BFA in Visual Communication Design from UW and use all that knowledge everyday, something I know can be considered rare!
Did you guess correctly?
