Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth

Currently, I am working on a personalized stationery story for The Family Groove’s October issue, and having a blast coming up with recommendations for the best, coolest and most adorable paper goods and websites that sell them. Personalized stationery, it just so happens, is one of my all-time favorite things. Perhaps it is the southern gal in me, but I just adore a nice little monogrammed thank-you note card.

I’ve discovered some great new sites and products that you’ll be able to check out in September, but I have to give you a sneak preview of one of my favorites, Sara and Abraham, a retailer I discovered courtesy of Atlanta (my hometown) Momtourage member Sloane, who sent me a set of their cards when baby #2 was born. Designed by owner Sara Tams, Sara and Abraham notecards and products are breathtakingly sweet and beautiful, not to mention exceptionally well-priced. Most of her designs feature silhouettes, which you can customize to best represent your kids by choosing from a large selection of “children”. Additionally, with most products you can select from a variety of color options:

Here’s a sampling of some of the products I find especially gorgeous:

Personalized Folded Notecards, $18 for a set of 10. Seriously, how sweet are these for a little girl? Of course, you can choose this style an make it all cute and boyish in red or blue as well.

Sloane got me a set of these in red with the “Owen and Wyatt” silhouette and my sons’ names. I cannot tell you how adorable they are, and so perfect for sending thank-you notes to everyone who sent them both a gift when #2 was born. Momtourage member Alison has some with the “Abby and Izzy” silhouette to represent her twin daughters (in pink, of course). Personalized Folded Notecards, $16 for a set of 12.

How cute is that little carriage? Personalized Flat Note Cards, $12 for a set of 14.


Sara and Abraham also offers 8X0 silhouette prints, perfect for framing and putting in your kids’ rooms. You can get them in the above designs, but my favorite is the “Kids at Play” print.



Personalized 8X10 Kids at Play Silhouette Print, $18.
