There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but there is a free Recycled Envelope and Stationery Set being given away here!
Hello everyone! It’s Robyn here, and I’m participating in the Sew, Mama, Sew! May Give-Away Day and offering up one of my snappy stationery sets. These items are a favorite in my etsy shop and a favorite of mine to make. It combines all of my favorite things, paper, art, design, and craft.
Paper: Each stationery set is compiled of 10 envelopes made from my personal (and constantly growing collection) of old papers, anything from old calendars, magazines, posters, massive clipart books, maps, etc.
Art: The art part comes in with my eye and personal aesthetics. Each paper and set is hand selected for awesomeosity by yours truly. Not every paper would make a great envelope, ya know?
Design: Each set comes with 20 pieces of stationery designed by myself, on a high quality linen recycled paper, oooh, la la.
Craft: Oh yes, I make each and every envelope, cut down by hand, assemble them with pride, include 10 mailing labels, and sealed up in plastic, (even the plastic is partially recycled product)
Who doesn’t love mail? You show me a person who doesn’t like mail, and I’ll show you a neo-maxi-zoom-dweebie!
So, here’s the scoop: This giveaway offer is open until the end of May 2009. To enter, just leave a comment on this post (just say hi, or tell me who you would write to if you won) and all comments will be entered into a random drawing. There will be two winners. Yes, that means TWO SETS ARE BEING GIVEN AWAY COMPLETELY FREE, to two lucky winners!
Also, please scoot on over to the Sew Mama Sew blog to find out all the other blogs that are participating in the May Giveaway Day.
Hi Robayre… Looks like I popped into twitter at the right moment. Thanks for sponsoring a give-a-way. You know I love to write letters. I’m not sure who I would write to. I think I will leave that a mystery and look forward to the first person who asks for a letter next. I love your sets. Hope your summer will be wonderful. ox joon

Great stuff! I would write my niece who lives out of state.
I’m close enough to the riverwalk that I’d love to go track down your found art. But I imagine it’s already found a home. :-)
I love your stationary! Thanks for letting me snoop around your blog! So cute!
That sounds like A LOT of work, very generous of you. I’d write to my funny brother in Texas and all my pals I’ve met here in Boston after we move to Seattle this summer.

I love this idea – you have a great eye and I would love to win your giveaway! I am making an earnest effort to write my relatives more often, perhaps your stationary would inspire me?!? :)

Hi! Thanks for giving away your beautiful paper goods! I’d write my in-laws most likely… they’d definitely appreciate your stationary, and they don’t live close, like my family does!
i would love to win! i would write to my college friend john-paul, who now lives in japan. we have always communicated through snail-mail, not emails or by phone, so i always look for interesting material to write him with. :)
These are so wonderful! I’m such a letter writer too! I have a few pen pals that I would probably write to on this stationery.
Love custom stationary! I would use it to jot notes to friends.
This is such a creative and wonderful idea! Thanks for the opportunity.

Thanks for a great giveaway. I’m loving the stationary. If I won I’d use it to write to my Grandama and my Aunts. I have been trying to get better about writing letters and would love to use such pretty stationary to do it.
I love these–so much fun!
I would write to my best friend from school–I’ve known her since I was 5 and she is always the person I write to when I have great stationery!
Happy entertaining stuff — would like some :)
I write letters all the time, especially to my sister in California and my best friend in Tennessee.

I would send letters to everyone who has moved away from this city over the years! Like most people, I love sending and receiving mail!
I love notecards! I used my stash up earlier this year for thank you notes following surgery. My son is headed to college in August. I’d love to brighten his days with your retro. notes. Thanks for the wonderful give-away!
This is a great giveaway. I’ve started sending a lot more snail-mail since I’ve moved overseas. I think it just makes it a little more interesting when it has an international stamp on it.
nice goodies – pls count me in :)
I love your stationery set. I would write to my friends Lisa and Nancy in Boston, to my friend Cynthia, who loves found art, and to my beau John. They would all appreciate that the stationery was recycled.

I just love mail !
Especially when it comes from far away from my place…
HI!!! haha I would write to my daughter as she likes to receive letters in the mail… which is something that children just don’t get these days anymore… she is 8 and really does appreciate the effort of writing to a loved one!!
we’re having a give away too.
xo Steph
Thanks, I’d love to win these, I write to my brother who lives in New Mexico. He actually writes back, too.
Awesome stuff. I’m intrigued by your post above this one. Mini art prints, I wish you were giving one of those away :D. I’m very fearful of ticks too, my husband laughs at me, but they are sick!
I just love stationary so please add me to this draw :)
Wow, after writing a Thank You note for the stationary, I would write to my old roommate, Lauren, who is getting married in 3 months.
Sounds great! I’ll be writing to my cousin next, as she’s on holidays in Europe…well, a working holiday anyway!
I love sending notecards to friends or folks I think need a bright spot in their day. Thanks!
great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
Jodie
oooh please enter me into your draw ;)
Such lovely notecards, I love getting pretty things in the mail, and I love sending pretty things to people who really appreciate them!
I think I’m going to win.
Wow. Two things I adore being given away: stationery and found or leftover art. Way to make snail mail even more fun! Love your blog, too, what a lucky day.
These are so neat! You use great base materials!
These are so amazing. I would probably use them to write thank you notes to my clients- I’m a wedding photographer. That way they would know they didn’t hire just any boring old photographer!
cool giveaway! I am in please!
I think it’s a heck of a shame more people don’t write to each other these days. I tried to get into art-mail once, but my artistic skills are practically nil so it didn’t work out, alas.
Serious? How fun is that?
Thank you for your generosity!
I love your stationary. I’d write to my sister, who I am going to be visiting for a week next month for the first time in years.
Hi I love the post before this where you leave art for strangers to find. That is so wonderful!
I have so many thank you notes I need to send, this would be perfect!
Thank you for the chance to win! Please be sure to drop by my blog and enter to win a giveaway that I am hosting. Hope to see you there!!
Great Giveaway.
I’d write to my favorite teacher. I’m not sure I ever told her how much her class meant to me.

hi there! My man’s in the military so we’re always far from family/old friends…these are so great! I love the retro vibes. I’m so tired of the boring impersonal cards at the store… what a fresh breath these would be!
Hope you pick me!

Love the cards – I would send my grandma a note – even though she lives in the area – she loves to get mail! Thanks!
I’d love to write a letter to my Grandma and mail it to her in Heaven. She was a great letter writer…
Love the giveaway, great stuff. I like your found art piece as well :)

I write letters to my aunt all the time and she really appreciates hand made things so these would be great!
Love your stuff.
I would write a letter to my daughter that just had a baby and a surgery! Thanks.
Wow those are really cool! I would write my friend Jill!
I would write to my grandmother, who (although she has been very brave about email and Internet) still much prefers “real” mail.
I would write to my friend Nancy from High School. I wonder what she is doing right now?
This is very cool stuff. I’ve always lamented how email has squashed letter writing and there will be nothing left for posterity. :( Would love to win your stationary and my Mom and sister in law would be the lucky recipiants of these.
Love, love the stationary you are making…
I would use it to write letters to friends, my daughter and maybe a new pen pal…

Your stationary rocks! I’d write to my family and friends back home, since I live away from them now.
Also, I’m doing a collaborative letter project on my blog to help revive snail mail: http://juntei.blogspot.com ^^
Thanks for this giveaway!
There is so much work that goes into this I am amazed you are giving away ! But Thanks anyway.
Great give away! Crossing my fingers that I have a lucky number!
I love these envelopes!! You must have so much fun making them (and finding the papers too!)
Thank you for offering up such a lovely give away. It is so nice to see people recycling materials out there, it also lovely to see that writing letters and sending it via snail mail is not yet a thing of the past. I think people get so caught up in our new digital world that we often forget the simple pleasures!!!!
Thanks again
x Mel
I love your work and would love to win!
I still love to write letters…..ones that are handmade would be even better! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I have been wanting to write more letters! I was so good a penpal when I was young!

What a great and creative giveaway. Please enter me in the drawing. I still love to write letters by hand & am always looking for cool stationary. Thanks.

It’s been a long time since I’ve handwritten a note to anyone. I’d like to send a few to my extended family members just to let them know I’m thinking about them and bring a smile to their day!
Hugs & Blessings!
Love this !
What a great giveaway! Who doesn’t love mail!
I love it!!!
What a great giveaway! I would write to my aunt if I won.
i would write to my grandma of course!
I think I would use these cards to write love letters to my husband and also to leave notes in my boys’ lunch boxes. They love getting notes from mom
Hi! I’d be writing to my children who live away from home. I’m in Illinois and a daughter is in Colorado and a son who is in California. They’re too far away!
Thanks for participating in this great giveaway.
Wow! Love the earth-friendly creations. I would write notes to lots of people – sister, brother in Korea, new nephew, grandma, mom (who lives too far away :() Please pick me!
Thank you for the chance to win. I love your creations, you are very talented. I would use the stationary to write my parents and friends.
I would want to win so I could send my twin sister a fancy schmancy letter or two on some hip paper and she would finally know who the coolest twin was… (even though she really is). No, also my grandma (I bet she would get a kick out of it) too!
Thanks so much!
Paper, recycledness, craftiness, what more do you want? I would love to win this set! I would probably write to my friend Beth on it because that’s who I usually write to. :)
I love paper, so I am totally loving your giveaway. I’m loving your blog as well, glad I found it!
I love mail!
Every day my 2 year old and I excitedly check our mail. I love letters!
Thanks for the chance to enter your giveaway!
If I won, I would write to the President, the Pope, and the man of my dreams. Though not in that order. And I wouldn’t waste such lovely stationary on anyone as silly as our current pope.
Hi
I’d have to write to all the girls I use to write to before we had computers. Two in particular, one of whom is in the UK, because they would appreciate the beauty of the stationary too!
I would love to win this!
Those are such a great idea! I would love to be able to send such a nice and eco friendly card every time I write a letter!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
i need more stationery like i need a hole in the head, but you know what? it’s not stopping me. :) i love your recycled artisticness!
Count me in! Very nice!
Two sets, yay! Thanks for offering such a great giveaway!
i love your etsy shop. Thanks for introducing me.
I would write to my sister and to an old friend I haven’t seen in three years.
What a great idea for recycling and a great giveaway. Neat blog. I’ll be back later to really take a good look around.
I love stationary, especially unique stuff !
I’d write to all my loved ones overseas. I have a stackload of them who tend not to use email. Which is lovely!
Love your work, love that you do random acts of art (good luck with this last one!) and love the super tiny zine. What a great idea!
What a great giveaway! i would write to my family and school friends, who all live across the country.
Love the stationery. I would write to my friend in Texas USA, I’m in NSW Australia.
I almost got goosebumps after looking at this blog, it’s so creative and awesome. Now I must find a way to convince the Blog Gods to remove all other names so I can be guaranteed one of these sets! With it, I would write people that I know around the nation or perhaps would save it and send it to people locally instead of postcards when I’m on vacation.
You have a great eye for design and I love all your stuff – it’s so genuinely creative!
This is so cool! Great idea, thanks for the give-away.
I love your work! It’s great!
So I try my luck :-D

Love These! My father is moving in a month away from me in California to Oklahoma and since he does not own a computer and vows to NEVER have one, I would use these to write to him! He would LOVE it! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Depending on what you sent me if I won…
either my daughter would write to her grandmother and friends or I would right to my friends in Sweden.
love these sets!!!
thanks for the great giveaway!
Old school mail – love it. I’d write to my grandparents.
I’ve been loving snail mail lately – I mean, I love getting it, so I enjoy the thought of making my friends’ day.
I would write letters to my grandmother. She is home bound and loves getting mail from my children and I.
These are really cool. To my love. Even though we live at the same address…he’s the one who gets the mail.
I love the idea of your stationary and if I won I would write to my only daughter who lives 1800 miles away.
I would write to my great aunt Helen, we write back and forth to each other on a somewhat regular basis!
I’d love to win your giveaway and would write to a grade school friend. We’ve kept in touch for 35 years.
i love your stationary sets! i’d write to my crafty friends that are spread out all over the world. we chat online all the time, but it’s just not the same as an actual letter!
Hope I am not too late…I would love to win! I would write my mom and my aunt…they would both love to receive a surprise note in the mail :)
