    Question Holiday cards in NW Philly

    I'm looking to send something nicer and more unusual than dollar store or drug store cards, but can't afford a buck per card either. Nice post cards could work too. Recommendations for stores in NW Philly I should try?

    Grace Epiphany Church in Mt. Airy have cards for sale that show off the variety of stained glass windows found at the church. They're not necessarily holiday based since they were really meant as note cards, so it's up to you to provide the content inside the card. A pack of 20 cards with envelopes costs $12. There are 4 window designs in the pack. All proceeds go to various projects supported by the social justice and outreach committee. We've left several packs of cards at Walk a Crooked Mile Books should you be interested.

    I've included images of the cards.

    Not the Northwest but I like the notecards and postcards from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The notecards are over $1 each, but the Renior, Gorky, and Rembrandt postcards come out to about $0.50 each.

    Thanks. They are lovely, but I've friends and family of varied faiths and, some who are atheist. Cards without overt religious iconography would be a better choice.

    Thanks. If I can't find some place local, I'll consider a trip to the PMA.

    No problem. They are a little 'churchy' and were intended primarily for parishioners.

    Let us know what you find out there.
