Earth Day is April 22, and it’s a perfect time to pause and reflect on the natural beauty around us and strengthen our Connection with Nature, one of the four essential connections of the Heartspoken Life. What better way to honor “our island home1” than by choosing stationery that draws inspiration from the great outdoors? Whether you’re writing a note of encouragement, a thank-you letter, or a simple “thinking of you” card, nature-themed stationery can add meaning and beauty to your message.
Here are some companies that celebrate nature in their designs—and in many cases—in their business practices too. Some offer discounts on your first order. I’ve tried to include some non-U.S. companies for my international readers:
