I received the following from Connie and had to share this wonderful idea - I'll be participating, will you do the same?

On October 19, Linda & Harriett will be giving away note cards in exchange for a promise to send the card to someone - just because. This specific day was chosen in honor of designer Liz Libre's mom, Linda, because she always showed kindness and made people feel special just because.

Simply email lindaandharriett@gmail.com by Monday at noon EST with your name and snail mail address; in return, they'll send you a note card and envelope. Liz will also be personally giving away cards at Blue Sky Bakery in Brooklyn (53 5th Ave. between Bergen St. and St. Marks Pl.) on Monday from 10am to 1pm.

We hope you and your readers will join us in honoring Liz's mom by spreading a little Just Because love. Additional details about "Cards for Just Because" can be found on their blog at http://lindaandharriett.blogspot.com.

Linda & Harriett has announced the expansion of their notepad collection. Four new offerings have been added to their current designs: Mermaid, Lime Zig Zag, Raspberry Zig Zag and Devon Lace. The Devon Lace pattern is designed by artist Devon Kelly-Yurdin, exclusively for Linda & Harriett. Each 100 page notepad measures 5.5" x 8.5" and retails for $12 at www.lindaandharriett.com.

I personally think these stylish notepads would make a wonderful gift for bridesmaids or even tucked into a welcome basket for out of town wedding guests. You might even consider writing a little note to your bridesmaid or wedding guest(s) on the first sheet.

For today's Eye Candy Friday edition, I'm featuring several fun and unique Save the Date's.

Below is Linda & Harriett's new custom "Seaside Sundae" Save the Date. It's meant to mimic the lid of a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream - a favorite summertime treat of the engaged couple. These cards are letterpressed with soy-based ink (eco-friendly) onto 2-ply 100% cotton paper.
