Halloween’s over and it’s time to gear up for Turkey Day! Get into the spirit with our select Thanksgiving greeting cards form Mr. Boddington’s Studio:

The perfect mix of classy and quirky, this card is more fun than a walk in the park. According to lore, Mr. Boddington himself was born with aubergine ink on his thumbs, apprenticed with the correspondence court of Russian Tsar Nicolas, owns a vintage Capri fishing yacht, and drinks Bombay gin and tonics while eating bread with orange marmalade. Really, who among us doesn’t have a bit of a crush on Mr. Boddington?
So pick up a few of his seasonal pieces of couture correspondence at the shop this week!
