Pretty stationery set, but the envelopes are weird
This stationery sets comes nicely packaged in a sturdy cardboard box with an attached lid.  Included are a package of folded note cards in an attractive abstract graphic, a package of square one-page note papers (the bottom of the box calls these "message sheets" -- they are smaller than the notecards -- ivory in color and sized about three-and-one-half inches square) -- and a package of envelopes.  There is also a silver-colored retractable ink pen which writes in black ink.  The quality of the paper is a little above average, but not heavyweight.  For the money, it's not a bad set.<br /><br />What I did not like about the set is the design of the envelopes.  The envelopes are plain ivory, sized to fit the notecards.  But they are not like a regular envelope where you insert the notecard at the top of the envelope.  These envelopes are "end-loaders".  They remind me of the little envelopes you get from the bank when you ask for cash back at the drive-in.  I think they are weird, and for me the unusual design of the envelope spoiled the function to which I was going to put these note cards.  I don't want to give my friend a thank you note for inviting me to her nice dinner party and have her think I'm handing her a pay envelope.<br /><br />These are going to Goodwill, minus the pen.  I'm keeping that.
