Classic Stationery Wardrobe

When I first came across the concept of a stationery wardrobe in a Miss Manner’s guide, I knew I had to have one. Calling cards, letter papers, gift enclosures, it’s all so appealingly civilized. Perhaps we could do without the formal engraved invitations and the RSVP cards at ready, but the rest of it should be quite useful.
