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!

ZOMG u r totes gonna <3 these new Copper Willow Paper cards!

Texting has never been so righteous: these abbrevies are printed with soy-based ink on smooth, speckled paper with 100% recycled content made in a hydroelectric mill.

And who’s 2 say that LOLing isn’t totes legit? British linguist David Crystal likens the introduction of LOL, ROFL, and other acronyms into contemporary language in magnitude to the revolution of Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of movable type in the 15th century. So stop by pH and spread the LOLZ – 4rlz.

Go local and snatch up one of ph designer Emily’s latest BOO-tiful Halloween greeting cards:

A Houston native, Emily recently moved back from Milwaukee, where she studied interior architecture and learned the paper trade.  Be on the lookout for a broader selection of Em’s goods in the near future, both on Shepherd and online!

A fresh set of cards from Canadian collective, The Regional Assembly of Text, offers a whole new level of customization to your greeting.  For the lovely ladies (or at least those who like to don their duds!), this shoe store scene (second from left) gives a glimpse of the bevy of options that the modern woman requires.  Just spin the wheel and reveal multiple shoes that align with your mood!  From bossy red pumps to fuzzy bunny slippers, this card’s analog accessibility puts the power in your hands.

Everyone is dying to know just what’s going on inside a man’s head.  Why not decide the answer yourself?  Pick between peanuts, pilsner, pin-ups and playoffs to shed light on this dude’s psyche (third from left).

Also in the set:

• A throwback library card meets birthday note (left)!  The re-gifting potential is self-evident, but your friends will rather let this item go overdue and keep it all to themselves.
• Speaking of statements with staying power, the Assembly is also offering a smashing “Birthday Boy” and “Birthday Girl” design with a pin as party favor (right)!  Visit PH today and snag a few of these clips for your friends’ next celebration.
