Summary: Twenty vintage flower seed packet note cards make your relationships bloom - just add your personal message!

Modern technology has given us so many ways to contact each other. It's wonderfully convenient, but can leave a little to be desired. Messages of love, thanks, and appreciation deserve a more personal touch. A heartfelt, handwritten note will never go out of style!

Send a special note on one of these vintage flower seed packet note cards.

The collection includes Twenty cards, five each of four designs, featuring the colorful and artistic seed packet designs from yesteryear, plus a corresponding colorful envelope. The note cards are blank inside for the ultimate in personalization, but each type also has a brief description of the featured art for a little added touch of history.

An attractive, hinged-lid gift box with a magnetic enclosure keeps the cards organized. A ribbon loop makes the box easy to open. This set is great for personal use or gift-giving. The cards are perfect as thank-you cards, to include with a gift, and for dashing off a note to stay in touch with loved ones.

Don't let the impersonal nature of the Internet get in the way of your relationships. Nothing beats a handwritten note! -- Rock Point

And last but certainly not least is the VINTAGE FLOWER SEED PACKET NOTE CARDS. This boxed set includes 20 quality note cards with envelopes and has absolutely stunning artwork featuring a variety of vintage flower seed packets. There are four different note cards (that's five of each card if you're counting!) as well as pretty blue envelopes.

I am probably one of the few people who still use note cards on a regular basis, but I love having nice cards to use for a quick note or thank you note. This set couldn't be more elegant with it's hinged and magnetic storage box, ribbon flap and high quality paper. In addition, each note card has a little description of the artwork to provide some background on the individual seed packets!
