Calling Cards

I've always had a fascination with calling cards. I'm not talking about business cards with 3 different colors and logos and every contact number, address and email available that someone crams into a file box or transcribes to Outlook and tosses away. What I crave is a thick, rich calling card created on a letterpress. What I want is a discrete card, with just enough information. A card that plays hard-to-get. A card someone keeps in a scrapbook or tucked in a picture frame on their desk. A card that delivers tactile gratification. What keeps me up late at night are not obsessions about bills and to do lists left undone. I lay awake debating Snelling Roundhouse and Bickham, white or radiant white. I plan on ordering mine by the end of the month, but until then, I'll admire from afar.
