 Writing Thanks
I am in a season of thankfulness. Not because it's getting close to Thanksgiving, but because I have come off a run of weekends that have been packed with showers for impending weddings and babies, plus a recent plethora of birthdays, anniversaries and christenings. I'm pleased to say that my mailbox (the real one -- not the e-variety) has been pleasantly overflowing with notes of gratitude. These thank you cards were not from people who regularly send birthday or seasonal greetings, yet -- when it came to saying thank you -- they did so with a handwritten note. Something to think about when stocking those shelves! Perhaps a larger thank you card section in your store is warranted...because it seems that human beings are a grateful bunch!

AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
 With Thanksgiving just around the corner, what better time to focus on gratitude? In a fast-paced society where Facebook posts and text messages are the common methods of communicating, a handwritten expression of thanks is especially meaningful. Stationery designers have been expanding thank you note offerings and there are more creative incarnations of the stationery staple than ever.
