GRAND ENTRANCE

WHIPPET NOTES


Don't you love the chic look of whippets?
Are you familiar with them?
They're the elegant English dogs
that resemble greyhounds.

If you follow me, you know that I am
ALWAYS
inspired by things that are chic ...
and whippets ARE chic!
Another thing that I find chic
are grand entrances.
A beautiful entrance to a home can make you
imagine how lovely it must be to live there, as well as
dream up fantasies about the life
 that the family lives there must lead
( "I wonder if they have a butler and gardener?") ...
Here are a few favorite entrances
(most are from one of my Pinterest boards entitled
Grand Entrance). 

  
  





You may be wondering what a whippet has to do with a
Grand Entrance.
Well ...
the things that make an entrance grand are the details ...
beautiful doors and hardware, topiaries, lanterns, plantings ...
and statuary.
I think one of the most elegant statues one could choose
to flank their front door(s) would be the statue
of a whippet or two,
sitting there greeting guests, looking grand ...
suddenly the chic quotient goes up fast ...
speaking of chic,
you may have even noticed that the whippet
is part of Henri Bendel's logo ...


So ......
I thought I'd create a little "chic"
for you ... in the form of a
Whippet Note.
And a personalized one at that!


The blank Whippet Notes come in packs of ten
 with white envelopes.
You can choose to have the notes with or without
personalization.
Price: $15 plus shipping/handling for pack of 10,
with or without personalization.

If you choose personalization, the script would be
the hot pink color and font of the sample above.
I recommend a name with no more than ten letters
(including spaces) or else the font would get too small.

If you'd like to receive the notes WITHOUT personalization,
leave the "Name on Notecard " box below BLANK
and just click "Add to Cart" to complete order.

If you WOULD like personalization,
fill in the name you'd like on your cards in the
"Name on Notecard" box
(remember, no more than 10 letters including spaces)
and then once the name is typed in the box,
click "Add to Cart" to complete.

Notes will be mailed within two weeks of order.


                                                  Name on Notecard
                                                    



Have a very chic week!
