Did you know that there was a difference in spelling for each meaning? To be perfectly honest I didn't, at least not until a few years ago. And, now I see these two words used incorrectly all the time, in everything from print ads to publishing.
To help me remember, I use this little trick that I once found online to keep me straight: Stationery is a piece of paper that you write a letter on. Let the "e" in stationery, remind you of of an "envelope".
And, speaking of things to write on, how about a stationery giveaway?
Lara, owner of Sweet Bella Cards on Etsy is offering one Webbisodes reader a set of 10 note cards in a design of their choice.
Here's a little about Lara and Sweet Bella Cards (in her own words):
"My name is Lara and I am the designer and creator of all my stationery, invitations and announcements. All of the printing, cutting, scoring and packaging is done in my little home workshop by me. I began my business when my daughter was born in the hopes of taking a leave from teaching to be home with my babies. When I'm not busy playing with paper, I am teaching sixth graders, or spending time with my beautiful 2 year daughter (Isabella), my 2 month old son (Dean), and my husband. "
