Some of you may remember this post from two years ago. This weekend, all the feelings expressed were completely and totally validated. I was at a friend’s booth (she sells garb at events), and this other woman I know came in and bought a couple of things. She pulled out her checkbook, and I said, “hey, I have those same checks!” and we proceeded to have a 10 minute discussion on the trauma of the switch in design, and how neither of us had found a suitable replacement yet. I found one design, from Checks Unlimited that has a similar enough feel to it that I’m seriously considering ordering them. It’s their Renaissance design. Again, I like them because they are feminine without being overly “girly”, and grown up without being stodgy. They have an elegance about them that I like too- elegant without being stuck-up.
I used to write a lot of checks. I liked my check design. I wanted to use my checks. Now I write as few as possible. It helps that I now have one of those check card things. But I’m thinking if I get these checks, I might go back to writing checks, or at least being happy about writing the ones I do write.
