Jezzie’s Girl

Jezebel Stationery

Most Jezebels are so mean spirited. Millennia of lying and home wrecking have really set their rep in stone.

But Jezebel stationery is an exception. The line of charming cards has nothing but the best intentions.

Folkloric silhouettes of flora and fauna and ladies and gents matched with quirky, modern epigraphs (“Delilah sings the blues,” “Auberon stole the golden moon”) evoke fairy-tale scenes. The pretty little pictures on pastel cards make you want to reach out and send hello/happy birthday/very best well wishes — spreading the love the nicest, most nonthreatening way possible.

It’s easy to understand why people might think Jezebel is wicked.

Wicked awesome, that is.
