Retro Recipe Card Revivals

A Return to Cooking Inspires 50s Style Stationery

Recipe cards from moontreepress (available on the always eclectic Etsy) add a heaping spoonful of cute to any cook’s recipe collection. While, admittedly, good old fashioned note cards are always functional and always cheaper, these recipe cards make homemade creations chic again.

Not since the 50s have recipes received so much attention. The (whispered voice) recession has made the cheap cool again. Things like recycling, homemade fashion, and cooking are on the comeback, and these recipe cards are no exception.
