Note Cards

Bear Creek Farm has created a line of elegant floral greeting cards suitable for any occasion. One notices that when shopping for greeting cards, finding the right one often defeats us. This need not be the case. The language of flowers is universal. Floral images are a harbinger of hope and of good things to come. They can accompany sentiments from joy resulting from any number of accomplishments or milestones – from the birth of a baby, to impending nuptials, to a well-earned promotion at work. 

So too can a floral image express sympathy at the loss of a loved one, or the complex emotional landscape that can accompany an intangible loss, or with stress associated with trying times generally - for which there are few appropriate cards. 

This set of 8 boxed Bear Creek Farm Cards are beautifully photographed and arrive with envelopes (Card size is 4.5" X 6.25"). The cards are blank, defined by a beautiful image, which, by itself, serves as a writing prompt, or a gift in and of itself. This allows the writer to avoid the tripwire of overthinking. 

The flowers photographed set a tone of cascading colors form oranges to reds to yellows and pinks. The unexpected asymmetric petals on a dahlia captivate the eye. The white cream of a bi-color cosmos reminds us all of nature’s ability to persevere in the creation of beauty. 

The right greeting card is the first step to finding the words to express whatever it is one wants to express. There is something cathartic for the writer of the card to engage in this process of reflection. There is something “extra” for the recipient when an actual personal piece of mail lands in a mailbox. Some of our collective dearest possessions are personal cards received at important moments in our lives. These cards are the cards displayed on refrigerators with magnets. These are the cards thumbtacked to office bulletin boards, reminding recipients that their moment of challenge or achievement was recognized - and that they were seen. 

We exist in a digital age. This adds to the value of boxed cards, making them a perfect gift. Not everyone has personal stationary any longer. Not having the right card on hand is one of the reasons that people wishing to reach out to say anything from “thank you” to “I’m sorry,” do not. They may mean to buy the card, but often the moment passes, and they don’t. If the impulse to write a note coincides with one’s possession of the right card, connections may deepen in unexpected ways. Note that these cards can pair well with the line of seeds by Bear Creek Farm.
