Show and Tell Friday!

 
 Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! This week I'm sharing a business card holder I bought at Vintage and Vogue in downtown Campbell, California.  Isn't it pretty? I just love it!
 
 I bought it to hold my blog business cards. Does anyone else have cards for their blog? I found so many times when I was out and about I would talk about my blog and someone would ask for the web address. It's so much easier to pull out a card than write it all out! It also looks more professional!

I ordered these cards online at Moo.com  Their business cards are double sided and amazing but for some reason this time they came out a little pink which makes the blue background look lavender. Oh well, I guess I can live with that!























I have my boring business cards for my 9-5 job behind the pretty blog business cards! haha!

***************

This is my second post today so scroll down if you haven't seen that one. It's my newest passion!

    I don't have cards, but I really should get some. As you said, having the cards would look more professional and would just plain be easier than writing it down for people. Your cards and holder are both very pretty.

    That is really pretty. Your business cards are also very lovely. I liked your hiking post too. I grew up vacationing at many parks hiking with the folks. Lots of fun memories.

    Yes I have business cards for my blog mainly because my handwriting is so awful no one could read it sometimes I can't read it.
    I got mine from Elaine Biss on line she has pretty things. Love your cards too and the holder.

    That is the most beautiful card case. What a great idea to make up cards for your blog. I never thought about that. I have business cards for my career as an attorney, but I could make much prettier cards for my blog. Thanks so much for hosting.

  39. DonnaFebruary 11, 2011 6:48 AM

    How pretty Cindy! I would love to have a lovely business card holder like that for my blog cards. My blog isn't a business, but I love to introduce friends to it and made cards to make sharing the address easy.

    Yours is the most gorgeous one I've ever seen! You must feel 'special' handing out cards from that case. :o)

    Thanks so much for dropping by. I really do appreciate you hosting this party for all of us.

    I've often thought that I should have blog business cards in my handbag for those times when someone asks for the blogaddress, yours are so pretty and the card holder is wonderful.
    I love the fleur de lys symbol on just about anything!
