If you like the sensibility of Martha Freud pottery you’ll love this little card company. Did I mention they are French? 🇫🇷

They focus on simple messages placed on brightly coloured cards with messages like “sorry” or “you are the bees knees” super cute and super affordable at £1.95 when a hallmark card can cost you £4 or £5.

I tend to avoid big brands and convenience when it comes to things like this. I prefer good design to mass produced.

I stopped sending Christmas holiday cards about 10 years ago. The exercise proved to me it is simply a card swap as I used to get Christmas cards from everyone on my list, 9 years later now I don’t send any I don’t receive any either. Not a complaint just an observation.

I do love hand writing a note and have not given up that small pleasure for the planet yet. Until I do Lagom designs are the company I buy my small notecards from. I love the quirky humour and original simple designs and messages.

The paper quality feels substantial too, not all flimsy and washed out ink.
