Cool Cards!

Yay! The Monkey Flower Group is up and running at Big Cartel , an online "shop for the little guy" (that's me).

One of the first things I'm offering there are two collections of note cards (namely, "Hot Cards" and "Cool Cards"). They are currently available for purchase and will begin shipping out on December 1st.

I won't say too much about the specifics here, other than they feature 100% recycled post consumer waste paper stock and minimal, pretty, and compostable packaging.

To learn more, please visit The Monkey Flower Group's online shop here. (Photos of the actual cards are on their way).

In the meantime, here's a peak at the 8 photos featured in the "Cool Cards" collection, below. (In my previous post, I shared the 6 photos featured in the "Hot Cards" collection).

 Above: It does freeze in Napa. That said, this photo was taken while I lived in Vermont. But I swear we have pretty ice here too.

 Above: A romantic arrangement of lilac and bleeding heart. Perhaps a St. Valentine's Day note?

 Above: I believe the French celebrate the first of May with this lovely fragrant flower, lily of the valley. Which makes this here card a good choice to attach to your May Day basket.

Above: A lush twist of paper whites on the Christmas table. It's one of the first winter things to bloom for us here in Napa. Luckily we all love the smell, which is pretty potent.

 Above: A simple gathering of sweet wild violets, perfect for Mother's Day.

 Above: A rainbow of spiraled stems, including that scarlet spring favorite, rhubarb.

Above: On our road trip home from Vermont, we stopped near Lake Tahoe to visit my grandparents. Here's a detail of a miniature vase of the sierra onions which have naturalized in their backyard over the years.

 Above: Friend or foe? People seem to harbor really passionate feelings- both love and loathing- toward prickly liquidambar seedpods. When strung as garlands, though, they win the hearts of most.

Above: Persimmon, anemone, nandina, hydrangea, sharon fern, and jasmine tendrils combine in a late summer centerpiece.

Above: A Halloween mask of ginko leaves.

Above: Roses, pomegranates, and jasmine tendrils combine in a fresh and fun bouquet. I think it's the perfect card for a "just because" or birthday note.

Above: California poppies, the state flower, put on a show at my godmother's ranch near Petaluma.
