Chopsticks, Please: Great Greeting Cards
Nearly twenty years ago my friend Judith Pollock sent me a birthday card in the shape of a head. The head of a flirty blonde gal, to be exact, who can flutter 3D eyelashes (if you give her a little help, anyway). I've been thinking about that card (which I still have) and the meaning behind it today because a friend of mine, Hae Yuon Kim, has a new company called Chopsticks, Please.
Hae, a Korean-American, is a talented artist and graphic designer who wasn't happy with the cards at the local mall. She couldn't find contemporary greeting cards with an Asian twist, so she created her own. That's great news for Asian-Americans and all the people who love them.
That includes people with little pumpkins and sassy girlfriends, people who adopt, friends of people who adopt, people born in the Year of the Rat, New Age practioners and notecard fans. My advice? Shop early, shop often, and stock up (there's a $14 minimum).
