May 28, 2008: We begin shipping Cougar Opaque 70lb text A7 envelope.
Cougar Opaque is 10% recycled post-consumer, FSC, Green Seal certified and is made using wind power. We have also added a selection of 100% recycled brown-bag envelope, the Greengrocer's. The cost of the brown bag is killing us, therefor we cannot afford to ship it with our beautiful card without raising the wholesale price. We thereby offer the brown-bag envelope as an eco-friendly enhancement to customers who prefer green material over cheaper pricing, for extra $0.10 each.

Blue & White Porcelain Series
We have just released a Blue & White Porcelain Series of cards by Zhang Yang Ming the artist.
We have introduced a new series of Chinese Horoscope in January, 2007
Each animal card comes with a charming poem features on the animal's characteristic written by Wanda Hennig. The style of the animal painting is borrowed from Shanxi Provincial Chinese folk arts, painted by my friend Tang Yi Peng. Yi Peng's style is a mixture of detailed fine-brush and traditional free brush painting, Chinese folk arts isn't really his forte. Eight months of diligient research and work, along with my nagging, he had passed a flying color. I was responsible for the Calligraphy and the card design. It was a collaborative work that we are all very proud of.
