I love great business cards, and love seeing what other businesses and entrepreneurs dream up. When the original Victoria magazine was around, I really enjoyed a feature they had every month, showing amazing business cards from the U.S. and abroad. On a recent visit to my sister's, the business card at the Pine Cone Diner caught my eye:
And of course, it didn't hurt that they were displayed on the counter in such a simple, yet darling way:
I, too, enjoyed the business card section of the old Victoria. In fact, I would write to the businesses requesting one of their cards, and I still have a HUGE collection of them!!

I love this idea! I just ordered business cards and they aren't this cute! Great idea to use them as bookmarks, clever!

How cute is that. I have tons of the old Victoria magazines and the business card feature was one of my favorites! I think I'm going to go dig the out now. Do the Farm Chicks have a business card? Can we see?

I love that business card! I always enjoyed that feature in Victoria, as well. Now I want to go to that diner in Point Reyes Station......

That is so clever! Love the cards and the coffee cup that they used as a holder. I need to think more outside of the box.

Very cute cards! I used to love that feature of the Victoria magazine. I agree with you... a great business card makes the business more memorable. Using it as a book mark is a great idea. We love our business card and were so excited when we first opened that box!

That was my favorite feature in the Victoria magazine too! They have a much smaller version of it in the new one but just not the same.
I love business cards and always ask people for them. That one is pretty unique and so is the one for Farm Chicks! So cute!

When Victoria magazine came back that was one of the things I was hoping they would continue. I always enjoyed that. These cards are adorable. What fun!

I would love to find out where they had those made- these are much cooler than the traditional biz card!!!

I loved that feature in Victoria Magazine too. I see I am not the only one. Victoria Magazine take note! I think the Farm Chicks business card is one of my favorites ever!
