I bought cheap notecards yesterday, at the drug store. I'd run out of everything but the beautiful square ones which I resist using because they take more postage and I think that's unfair, and the three sets of single card notes which are so beautiful I can't bring myself to use them, and the two sets of Crane that I got on closeout: one dove-grey with thin white edging and the other white with a turquoise border and marbled envelope liners.
I paid off a credit card and retired it. Unfortunately, it was the one I'd used to set up my PayPal account. When I tried to change the card number to an active card, I'd forgotten my PayPal password. I'm sure their software decided I was an unauthorised individual trying to access an account not my own, but I managed to make such a botch of things that it wouldn't email my password even after I'd hunted out an old bill receipt to get the retired CC#. I tried to set up a new and completely different PayPal account, but it wouldn't accept either a password or a CC# from the same email address as on the old, bolluxed account. I wasn't, and am not, willing to set up and maintain a second email account just to have a PayPal account, so I gave up on it. So when I purchase things off ebay every now and then, I use USPS money orders, and so far my feedback is perfect. Of course there are vendors who only accept PayPal, but to them I just say phffft! and buy from someone else.
But I had used up all my cheap notecards and notepaper sending off MO's, and I don't want to use the nice Crane stock for that, therefore, cheap notecards. One box is panelled foldovers in cream stock, plain. Quite nice, actually, except that the paper isn't really good quality. Still, not bad, not bad. Certainly not embarrassing. The other two boxes are also foldovers, a photographed bowl of water on a blue tablecloth, with red, yellow, and white poppies. Yummy. And now I want to write notes to everybody I know and use up all my new notecards.
I'm such a dork over notecards anyway. I've saved one of every style I've ever had. If there were four different pictures to a set, I saved one of every picture. I learned, eventually, to only buy cards with one picture to a box, because that way I could save one and send eleven, rather than saving four and sending eight, or twelve. I have no idea what I'll ever do with the big box of singles, probably nothing, honestly. But I can't ever seem to bring myself to send the last one.

It is
never easy
reaching for
dreams...
but those who
reach, walk
in stardust.
Perhaps I'll look for a frame this weekend.

...read the following post. Framing can be dangerous.
But I'm pleased you liked them--what was the other one?

I have it here somewhere, just not with the sun/moon one. Hmmmmm...

And I find I balk at handwritten letters, when I'll dash off a note. And write diagonally up the page! My version of coloring outside the lines, hee.

What a fantastic idea! I wish I'd thought of it.
You can write to me! I can write back! We can share cards!
(and I've purchased cards specifically for the framing)
