One of my FAVORITE stationary companies is Avie Designs, based out of Decatur, Georgia. Creatively conceived by Avis Wampler in 2007, the business has grown significantly to include hand folded stationary, wedding invitations, business cards, and custom designs. Avis's background is in graphic design, but she's always had a fondness for paper. What do you get when you put the two together?... absolutely stunning letterpress!
I first contacted Avis when moved back to CT from Boston in 2009. I was sending out resumes like a mad woman. I'm a huge believer in first impressions - so I knew I wanted not only my resume to look stunning, but also the envelope! I ordered a set of return address labels with a custom graphic that she had designed. After approving the proof, my order arrived promptly and was even better than I expected. The graphics were striking, yet soft, and totally unique. When I saw that she took the time to write me a hand written note expressing her gratitude for my order, and her hope that I was happy with everything, I knew I was going to be a customer for life : )
When I decided to venture off on my own in 2011, I found myself in need of some show stopping business cards.. I knew just who to call. I emailed Avis my idea, and she worked with me from the beginning to nail down the design. Again, she sent me a final proof for approval, and my order arrived promptly. They were perfect!
Avis is talented, kind, and a true creative spirit. And on top of it all, she has generously offered to donate one of her hand made cards to us for our first Monthly Give Away! Stay tuned for details next week...
