Sarah and Abraham is one of my favorite Etsy shops. I found her months ago when I stumbled across a link to this personalized wall-hanging. I immediately ordered one for my daughter's room, and I have been loving it ever since.
Her distinctive style of personalized paper goods involve the use of silhouettes, which is charming and vintage. (Because silhouette children? They don't have dirty faces. Or loud voices. Lovely silhouette children.)
She produces items like these Christmas return address labels...
...and these small desk-top calendars (nice gift idea for grandmothers!):
Sarah and Abraham is giving away one $25 gift card to a reader here. For your chance to win, visit Sarah and Abraham, browse around, and come back here to leave a comment saying which item you loved best. I'll keep comments open until Wednesday morning, 11/26. Giveaway is open to US and internation residents.
The comments are now closed.
The personalized snowflake return address stickers are SO cute! I would love to get a couple of sets of those for my holiday cards.

I lovelovelove the Holiday Return Address Stickers - they are so classically 'holiday'! With our last name (Snow) I can envision our perfectly-themed design... Wow - her stuff is all really amazing...
Posted by: Kristen | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:24 PM
I just love this stuff! I think my favorite is the gift labels, but it was hard to pick one thing!

i love the return address labels!

I LOVE the Mommy calling cards. Brilliant idea! Oh, to think of how many times I have written my name and phone number in crayon on a scrap of Micky D napkin, only to hand it to another parent and realize there's ketchup on the paper.
What a great new mommy gift they would make!

Posted by: Rebecca | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:27 PM
I love the return address labels. They are so great. I have five toddlers under the age of 28 months. So i love the fact that they are not dirty or crying as well. LOL

Without a doubt, the "kids at play" print. I love it! The little red bird is darling.
Posted by: Miss Wisabus | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:49 PM
i love the prints with the trees and birds with the kids dancing across the bottom...so sweet!!!
Posted by: Angie Smith | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:52 PM

Posted by: natalie | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:55 PM
I really like the personalized print, but then I'd need four. So instead I'll go with the calling cards. :)
Posted by: Megan | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:55 PM
i LOVE the personalized prints with the kids names. they would look adorable in my kids' room!
Posted by: Jenna | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:56 PM

Posted by: Elizabeth | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:57 PM
Ooh, I love everything! Favorite is probably the 8x10 print.
Posted by: becca | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:57 PM

The teacher gift sets are wonderful!
Posted by: Helen Cox | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Do I have to choose just one?
Posted by: Melanie | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:06 PM
I love the flashcard-style notecard and sticker set - ADORABLE!
It was great to see the Mommy Calling Cards, too. I made some for myself shortly after moving to a new town with our infant son. I have a double first name, which people often mistake as a hypenated last name when I introduce myself, so these were a lifesaver! I'm sure, though, that mine weren't near as nice as those from Sarah and Abraham!
Posted by: RLR | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:08 PM
Oh my, the calenders?! LOVE THEM!
Thanks!
Posted by: Jill | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:10 PM

I'd love some monogramed flat notes!
Posted by: Shilo Cain | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:27 PM
I like the mommy cards and also the 8X10 print of the kids on the swing. I love silhouettes too.
Posted by: Christy@pipandsqueak | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Ooh, too many to choose! She's been in my favs for a long time! Right now I'm diggin' the family silhouette Christmas card stationary, but there's a handful of things I'd love to snag from her shop!
Posted by: Mandi | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:34 PM
I love all the stuff for baby - the "thanks for coming to my party" labels would be PERFECT for my friend's baby shower!
Posted by: Rachel | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:47 PM
I love the calendars. Such a cute idea.
Posted by: Deborah G | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:48 PM
I still think the silhouette prints are the best! Great giveaway!
Posted by: Pam | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:49 PM
The card and sticker sets are darling! I think each of my older girls ought to have a set. Oh, how I LOVE Christmas shopping online! Hardly anyone points at me for shopping without a bra!
Posted by: Dana~Are We There Yet? | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:49 PM
Love everything, but my very favorite is Personalized 8x10 Silhouette Print - Kids at Play. So sweet!
Posted by: Angie @ Many Little Blessings | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:52 PM
Wow. Everything is so cute. I think I looked through each page 10 times before I could pick a favorite. But I have narrowed it down to the 8 postcards w/ envelopes. Such good prices too!!
Posted by: Vanessa | Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:57 PM

Return address labels definitely! I design stuff for other people but I never get around to making myself some nice return address labels.
I love the simplicity of her designs.
Good stuff Shannon-thank you !
Posted by: Lainie@ Mishmash Maggie | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 12:37 AM
Oh, holy moly!!! I've been wanting calling cards. That's what I'd get... with all 6 kiddos!! How cute would that be? Seriously.
Ok, random number generator... do you see how much I'd like this? Go ahead and pick me!
Posted by: Grateful for Grace | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 12:41 AM

I love the return address stickers. They are so cool!
Cheers, Wilm in NZ
Posted by: Wilm | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 12:46 AM
I love them all--especially the flat note cards. They remind me of notecards my mom had made for my sister and I when we were kids--it was a silouette of a girl whose skirt formed the first letter of our names.
Posted by: fern | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 01:01 AM
I love the personalized flashcard style notecards and stickers. And the new baby notecards would be great too since I just had my third on Wednesday. Going home from the hospital today!
Posted by: shannon | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 01:02 AM
How can you pick just one favorite? They are all darling! I love Kids at Play. Too cute.

It's all just lovely. I really like the calendar. I liked a lot of things.
Posted by: WendyP | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 02:11 AM
I like the notecards, although there are so many great things!
Posted by: Stonefox | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 02:14 AM
The personalized silhouette hands down is the best thing, it's iconic. I don't have children but I have a friend who does and it would make a lovely gift.
Posted by: Jam | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 02:33 AM
I love the Personalized 8x10 Silhouette Print - Kids at Play - would be lovely to create one for my 3 kids.

Posted by: Jennifer R. | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 06:02 AM
Picking one is tough, but the Kids at Play print would be it, or the note cards, or the address labels...or...
Great giveaway!
Posted by: Cori | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 06:06 AM
I pretty much loved all the note cards. I am kind of a nut for note cards - I buy them everywhere that I go. They are very handy to have around the house.
I like the mommy calling cards too...
Posted by: Leslie | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 06:13 AM
The silhouette is so sweet! They're timeless, I think.

Oh it's so hard to decide. I love the holiday labels which reminds me to get moving on the cards. Is it really that time already?!
Posted by: Jane | Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 07:19 AM
