Stationary dork


Email sent to Ikea.

This isn't a question, actually, but some feedback I wanted to pass along in case you could somehow see that it gets back to the designer. I thought he/she might like to know.

So, last December I picked up a few packs of the IKEA PS JÄMSHÖG stationary on clearance at Ikea Tempe (sadly it was still full-price at my local store when I went back for more). My sister just deployed to Iraq, so I decided to buy enough of the cards that I can mail her one each week, for the whole deployment. Not only do I think the cards are incredibly beautiful and texturally complex in a wonderfully satisfying way (which excitement I love sending people), but they make a great "signature" for my correspondence to her. It makes me happy to know that each week when she gets a letter from me, she'll know who it's from as soon as she sees the envelope.

Thanks for consistently providing such marvelous stationary, at such affordable prices! I still thrill at the gold-flecked, cinnamon-scented blank Christmas cards I found at Ikea Singapore several years back. Those were the best cards EVER. I doubt I'll ever find cards with that much tactile, sensory delight again, but it's a nice memory. :) I'm sending the last one I have to my sister, as her Chinese New Year/Valentine's day card.
