The Cutest Chicago-Centric Stationery!

Posted on August 18, 2010 by Greatest Expectations

A few months ago we did a While Drinking a Glass of Champagne interview with Kara Underwood Gordon from Magnificent Milestones Custom Stationery.

Since we last spoke with Kara she has been hard at work creating a fantastic new line she calls The Third Coast Collection. We think Kara has designed something really amazing. To make it even more fantastic, the line is eco-friendly, using soy based inks and recycled paper products … If you live in Chicago it doesn’t get much better than this!

Here is what Kara has to say about her exciting new line:

“The Third Coast Collection celebrates the great city of Chicago that we call home! A place where each neighborhood, bus route and zip code has it’s own identity and flair. Each resident is proud to call it their own. The Third Coast Collection is made up of letterpress cards, reusable bags and clean designs, all done locally.”

Below are just a few examples from the line and remember, everything Kara does is completely customizable, so get those creative juices flowing and give Kara a call today!! If you shop now you can save 15% on orders of $100 or more! Enter SHOPBIG at checkout.

Every day, Wedobo offers one exclusive deal from one local wedding business, giving you the chance to save on every facet of the big day and direct access to the best vendors in town. Wedobo breaks down like this: WED and OBO. Wed is short for wedding…and obo is “or best offer.” It’s fun to say, too! It is pronounced like this: wed-doh-boh. Rolls right off the tongue.
