Moving Announcements, and Moving
Hi Everybody, I have been looking through etsy for some good moving cards. We did not send Christmas cards this year, and as that yearly mail job is my main way of organizing the old contact list and staying in touch with friends and family afar, I am determined to send moving announcements later this spring, because, drums, the CountryMouse family is moving! To New York! City! It’s this whole other state. Actually we are moving to Brooklyn. Mr. Countrymouse, bless his heart, has taken a position as a real live law professor and we are moving! Those of you who know Mr. CountryMouse (or have spoken to me for more than 10 minutes over the last 5 years) know that this has been an aspiration of his for a long, long time. So good job having that big brain, honey!
There has been some querys about a countrymouse living in Brooklyn. The truth is I don’t currently live in the country, I just love glazed chintz very, very much. I actually live in a relatively urban suburb. Anyway don’t worry guys I will go on loving gingham, raffia and chain stores just as much as ever in the big city.
So here are the moving announcements I have my eye on. I may also do a picture of babymouse in front of our new place, since I failed to send a chrismas picture like a terrible mother.
The “we’ve moved come visit” cards above from kmcalligraphy is good for us because they are cute of couse and also we have never lived outside of Massachusetts before so we are hoping people visiting us liberally from the homeland.
These are from aripress, and are similar, I like the fill in the blank aspect, always nice to get some personal labor involved.
Of course there is always Iomoi if you like things to be painfully good looking. This tassle design is good and of course the various animals wearing formal wear and hanging from chandeliers can be customized as a moving annoucement.
These are good because they have a little perforated business card that detaches, rather than just a card that hangs on the fridge for a couple weeks and is thrown out- I mean nicely filed away!
This super pretty one looks like a placemat and is my current favorite.

You’re coming to New York! Yay!
Wow, congrats to Mr. CountryMouse! And a big move to New York, no less - exciting! I hope you have all of your leggings and PBR ready for your new home in Brooklyn. Mr. CountryMouse should start growing his ironic moustache now!
How wonderful that Mr. Country Mouse has achieved such a lofty goal! That has such a nice ring, my husband the law professor.
I am sure your MA friends will be beating a path to your new door as often as possible.
I agree that the last choice is you. While the others are very nice, they just are not you.
what do you mean “start” growing his ironic moustache?
These are very fun and make me wish I had something to announce! I love Etsy, but can never pick something. It’s very frustrating. I don’t think I congratulated Mr. Countrymouse when I saw him last week, so please congratulate him for me! It definitely is an awesome achievement and I think you guys will have a great time in NY!
I like the first one and, of course, the Iomoi one. If you send me a card from Iomoi it will make it far easier to accept the move!
