Sleeping Beauty Notecard Set by Enesco From The Walt Disney Archives Collection
Released September 2015 by Enesco as a part of The Walt Disney Archives Collection.
The product description from Enesco website reads:
"In a gift box inspired by the storybook in the film's opening sequence, this collection includes 20 notecards (2 each of 10 designs), envelopes & stickers. Images include rarely seen production artwork and promotional material, history details on each card"
Since it's basically been Eyvind Earle week around here I thought it would be fun to share some photos of my Sleeping Beauty Enesco Notecard Set. It is honestly one of the absolute coolest Disney items I have even ever picked up. I bought my set during a Walt Disney World vacation from the gallery right outside of Epcot. I was kicking myself at the time because I didn't want to have to take my stationary sets home with me on the plane but the art inside looked incredible so I couldn't resist. I also picked up The Snow White set and the Cinderella set. Those were the only 3 for sale at Epcot the time I was there. Enesco also sells a Fantasia and Pinocchio set. I thought they were priced around $30.00 each at Epcot but on the Enesco website they sell for $25.00. I could be wrong but I was thinking it was $90 for the three. Anyways, I'm going to first show my photos from the Sleeping Beauty set. Cinderella and Snow White will be another day, another post.
This is the inside cover from the box, it opens like a book. The packaging alone makes this a special stationary set. Look at this box! Its beautiful.
The set comes with 20 plain white envelopes.
Also included are 20 adhesive card seals with the Walt Disney Archives logo.
The cards all have a gold foil detail and each one looks like art worthy of framing.
