Fill in the blank: Your [___] is your calling card.

Good answers: compassion, killer style, living room. Not so good: klutziness, drinking tolerance, flair for the dramatic.

Hmm. Best to bypass the question with sweet calling cards from new L.A.-based stationer Paperwink.

The bright designs on a white background are reminiscent of a bygone era (when social plans didn’t require 47 group e-mails, an Outlook reminder, and three cancellations at least). Choose from styles like Branch, an Edith Wharton-esque pink and brown design; Antique, which screams “future member of the Seattle Tennis Club”; or Woodcut, a kiwi-colored print with a Dwell magazine aesthetic.

Go on: Order a batch to announce a new move or to remind yourself that your identity has nothing to do with “administrative” or “assistant.”

Signature calls.

Available at Paper Delights, 2205 North 45th Street, suite b (206-817-4853 or paperdelights.com). To see styles, go to thepaperwink.com.
