The art of the card

FOLEY – For many, receiving a card in the mail or accompanied with a gift is a delightful and increasingly surprising occurrence. Growing up, some see the card as nothing more than an obstacle to get past in route to opening the gift or obtaining the money hidden inside.

However, with age comes a greater appreciation for the sentiment of a card’s message. The words inscribed on a card – detailed with messages of love, appreciation and congratulations – oftentimes end up being more impactful and held in higher regard than the utility of the accompanying present or monetary gift.

So, when it comes time to put pen to paper, Foley resident Chester Potuzak believes it is important the stationery such heartfelt messages are written on have as much care, effort and time put into them as do the messages held within.
