Updates on Greeting Cards and Stationery from Lost Art Design
Mother’s Day Cards and the Genesis of Lost Art
Mark McKnightMother's Day is Sunday May 10, 2020 Mother’s Day holds particular meaning for us here at Lost Art Stationery. Chris and I both—like all of us—literally came from our mothers, but our business emerged from that annual holiday created to remind children to thank their mothers everywhere how wonderful they are. The special annual day of motherly recognition pushed us to start the company several years ago. At the time, Chris worked for a tiny little stationery store in Chattanooga.

Clearly the sayings are not all from the 80s but Cool...

Working on a Weekly Writing Routine
Christopher Lykins
Do you have a weekly writing routine? This year we have been working to be more productive (A Greeting Card A Day) but also more intentional with our time and interactions with people. To help us with this mission, we have been using the Full Focus Planner. As a part of our new focus (see what I did there); we have been using Sundays to reflect on the past week and to plan for the next week. When it comes to greeting cards, we have set a goal of sending at least 5 cards a week. Today, I grabbed two...
