I grew up with my mom, grandma, great-grandma, aunts etc. all having big stacks of recipe cards. I think maybe when you got married you used to just get a batch of about 10000, with your name on them, from some sort of "getting started in domestic life agency". Anyway....I have purchased some at boutique stores but they are pricey, then I checked online but the choices are overwhelming. Then - lightbulb clicks on - I remembered the Current catalog we used to get, I'm sure they had recipe cards. I checked online and they had one type - "not currently available", sort of ironic. So that is no go...
So here is my question - took awhile to get here - do you all have a good source for recipe cards? Can you still get them with your name on them? Where do they come from?
Please share your insights - I want to share recipes:)

good question....I haven't seen them with the option to get my name printed on them. I usually go to Micheals and get them when they are on sale for $1 or $2

When y'all are saying you buy them at Gooseberry Patch - is that their website? I should have mentioned that I don't have a printer so I can't take advantage of any of the free stuff online. Good to know that Michael's has them though.

Well, drat, they don't seem to be putting out a catalog anymore.
Gooseberry patch website says they are putting it all into cookbook publishing =I'll keep my eyes open for you Amy Grace.

OH NO! I loved Gooseberry Patch catalog. Recipe cards and stationery are two things that are so hard to find!!

Channah - that would be fabulous, thank you. I think you have my address - it's on the RAOK list:) In fact I know you do because I just got a super-cute handmade card from you (thank you:)) I will swap you something - anything in particular you would like?
