[nfbmi-talk] From the Latest Braille Monitor

[J.J. Meddaugh]

We saw these at our February chapter meeting and they're a great gift idea. 

Coming This Month:
      HeartSight Cards are handmade, print/Braille greeting cards using
layers of patterned and textured papers and decorative buttons, ribbons,
rhinestones, and other embellishments so that they can be enjoyed with both
fingers and eyes. Each card has a simple, occasion-appropriate inside
greeting that can be personalized with your own message. Current categories
include birthday, thank you, kids, thinking of you, love and friendship,
and all occasion. At present there are seventeen different card designs,
and new designs will be added regularly.
      At HeartSight Cards, owner Haley M. Dare believes that everyone
deserves a beautifully designed card. Her cards are appealing to the blind
as well as the sighted and are more than just a tactile shape on a
monochromatic background. The artist combines patterned papers and other
card-making supplies that used together create a lovely, tactile card. A
detailed Braille description is included with each card. HeartSight cards
are mailable and affordable, costing $2 to $3 less than the competition.
Your card order will be sent directly to you or to your special person,
usually within one to three days of order receipt.
      HeartSight Cards was inspired by a special friendship. This friend,
along with others in the National Federation of the Blind, encouraged and
supported Haley when her young son was diagnosed with vision problems.
Therefore she intends to help the NFB further its training and advocacy
services by making a donation of 5 percent of the sale of each card.
      To order, contact HeartSight Cards at 4794 Geneva Avenue, Portage,
Michigan 49024 or phone (269) 779-2216. The email address is

Because you don't need sight to see into the heart.
