It started a few weeks ago. On a hot, sunny morning, I was walking up to my grocery store when under the long, shaded porch, I saw two rows of gigantic yellow mums, still in the just-budding stage. Next to them were flats of cheerful coneflowers and pots of crotons with their orange, yellow, and green waxy leaves. And, even though it was 90 degrees, the flowers and colors reminded me of what was coming. The anticipation of something new.

Fall. The favorite season of pretty much everyone on social media, it seems, and most of my loved ones.

And today, it’s here. Officially. And, if you’ll indulge me, I can’t resist saying, “It’s fall, y’all!”

To celebrate, I have some news that I’m excited to share.

Something else is here today. Officially.

Our new Glimsen card.

This card, like our other ones, allows you to send the beauty of the season to your friends and family.

It is just gorgeous. The design includes more traditional colors and shapes of the fall as well as some you may not see as often. The result is a beautiful card to send and to keep.

The inside is blank so you can write your own greeting and spread a bit of fall cheer into someone else’s life.

This year, many of us are discovering the delight of sending and receiving notes in the mail. When so much has happened to turn our lives upside down, good words shared among family and friends have come to mean more than ever before. So, grab a set—or several—of Glimsen cards and brighten someone else’s day with your note of beauty.

You’ll find all the Glimsen cards in the shop on the website. Currently, one set of five cards and envelopes is $8, plus $2 shipping.

I’m sorry to say that we’re having a bit of trouble with the connection between the website and PayPal at the moment. In the meantime, I can still take PayPal payments as well as Venmo, cash, or check (if you still have one of those! :)

Just email me at the address below and let me know how many sets you’d like and we can work out payment and delivery.

Enjoy the beauty around you as you watch one season transition into another. And keep your eyes out for my upcoming blog posts where I’ll be sharing the beauty I find, too.
