A Message from Jacqueline

Eleven years ago my dream was to build a company where I could share my vision of a perfect world. I wanted to combine the images from my many trips abroad with insights into living an intentional life and the desire to leave a legacy of a beautiful world to all of our children… our global family.

Greeting cards are the perfect venue because they are available to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people. Each photo for the Bookmark Card collection was chosen with purpose; each quote with a clear message of hope and love and wisdom.

And it looks as if my dream might have come true! Stonehenge started small with one rep in Portland, Oregon and now has more than 38 reps nationwide. Stonehenge cards can be found in bookstores, card shops, museum stores, library stores, florists and gift shops throughout the US.

I hope you enjoy browsing our website. Please write a note to introduce yourself and look for your comment to be posted. Enjoy the QUOTE OF THE WEEK and please send us your comments and favorite quotes!

RECENT TRAVELS
Hungary and Romania
I recently returned from the green hills of Hungary and Romania and was pleasantly surprised to find window boxes teeming with bright flowers, the occasional welcoming gate leading to hidden gardens, white steeples dotting the valleys in Transylvanian villages that took me back 100 years. Pavement in those secluded villages was rare as was hot water, but progress is coming... there were cars and vans alongside the horse draw hay wagons and our host had access to the internet.

Budapest is a travelers dream with the castle on the hills of Buda, elaborate cornices on every building, a Parliament building to rival any in Europe, lit bridges spanning the Danube, and an art museum where I could have spent days. I have a new love for paprika, too(!)

I'm looking forward to scanning through my 2000 photos to find just the right images to evoke those feelings of home and love and inspiration for our next bookmark card release. This was my first trip with only a digital camera and I'm finally a convert.
