Send a Work of Art

Monday December 1, 2003
Forget about mass produced cards, this year send a special work of art to your special friends. These gorgeous artist painted cards only cost $6.95 and are all one-of-a-kind by Stefan Kalinka.

The company started in 1994 on the dining room table, and were first sold in a handful of coffee houses in Los Angeles, California. Interest grew and within a short time Kalinka's cards were featured in national catalogs, high-end boutiques, the gift shops at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Nordstroms.

Each distinctive card takes approximately one half hour to create. And if you tell the How Nice! Greeting Card company that you read about them on the Collectibles site, they will give an additional 10% discount.

After I saw a sample I even ordered a few extra to frame for a holiday display of tree pictures. Kalinka has assured me that any cards ordered will be sent by priority mail, in plenty of time to send these special holiday greetings to the lucky recipients. . . How Nice! Cards
