I just love when design, green-ness, community interaction and the notion of giving back can actually all converge without the result being some watered down, half baked, bureaucratic marginal design nightmare. The Good Envelope Party represents all that is down right positive about collaboration and the power of a creative community. The brain child of Jenny Rask a graphic designer come green no-it-all, (I am not kidding, she also has a green info website called www.askwoollym.com) who decided to host a series of Tuesday night fetes at her home where the lovely ladies of Silverlake and beyond come together and make one-of-a kind beautiful handmade stationery. The envelopes are all hand-made with recycled books and magazines, each includes a 100% recycled fiber content note card and label. Proceeds from all this handy work go to non-profits, local Los Angeles schools and families in need. So grab a stack from her online store and keep the good vibe alive. If you are like me, you will struggle to figure out which ones to keep and which ones you are willing to part with.
