I have written before about my love of vintage stationery.
When I came across some pictures and advertisements, I decided to do a post about them.
(In fact, I may do a little series of posts.)
The ones I am showing you today are all from Eaton.
First, we have these Zodiac note cards:
Here is a vintage ad that shows the same cards, along with other stationery items:
I love the artwork (by "Michal") on this next one; what a fabulous and colorful quilt!
Very cool:
"Good Enough to Be Eaton" - very clever!
And I really like all of the "food" choices here:
And next up, Eaton's "Fortune Letter Papers" - nice:
"Film Funtasticks" - these are neat, too!
I found this at a thrift store:
Eaton's "Misty Color Folio", a nice tall folio with paper and matching envelopes inside:
Very pretty.
I don't see a lot of vintage stationery at the thrift stores, that's for sure.

I remember that first Eaton ad, and their stationery. I wrote a lot of letters in my teenage days and had lots of different kinds of stationery. I just hope that my cousin I wrote to saved my letters. I saved all of hers and gave them back to her and was hoping I would get mine back someday. Great post, looking forward to more! Love T
Love them!
I could never resist all the colorful stationery so I bought way more than I ever needed since I didn't write that many letters. I still have most of it. I don't have any you have shown but I always loved the ad with the colorful quilt. I'm sure I cut that ad out and saved it and probably still have a Seventeen with the ad.
I wrote letters a lot as a pre-teen and teenager. I just found some Current Post-A-Notes from the early 70's that I'm using up this month as part of InCoWrMo (International Correspondence Writing Month), where you write a note or letter to someone every day of February.
LOVE your blog!
So glad you all enjoyed seeing them, and thank you so much for the nice comments!
