I was going through my feedly and I bumped across A Beautiful Mess blog where they featured a really interesting stationary club.
This project called "Happy Mail" consists of a monthly subscription to a stationary kit worth $50 for only $15 a month. And the send it to your doorstep.
The idea is always to have a stock of nice stationary, stickers, notepads or journals for you to send letters or greeting cards to your loved ones.
Normally I spend $15 for three cards in any stationary store, so the price of Happy mail makes me happy.
You can find more about this project here and subscribe here
I love this kind of projects, specially living in Chile where there are very few pretty stationary shops and they are often really expensive. I think it's because Chile is so far south from the rest of the world and the shipping is so expensive.
Well if you are in Chile you can subscribe to Happy Mail and the international fee is only of $2.
I've always liked to draw.
In school my favorite subject was art and the best part on the first day was to draw my summer vacations with my brand new color pencil case.
During my time at uni I didn't have much time to draw and when I started my job I could draw but things related to it, not things that really came out of my imagination.
As a designer I'm a huge fan of stationary and good quality illustration. When I was traveling earlier this year I decided it was the perfect time to send letters or postcards to people I love.
Whenever I saw a stationary store or a wall of postcards inside a museum store I stopped for about 30 minutes to find the perfect postcard -traveling alone was great for postcard scouting, because not everyone likes to stay that much time in that particular activity-.
