LonnaCards
The seasonal, whimsical, and other notecards that occasionally will appear on this web site are created by Lonna Nachtigal and used with her permission. She is a graphic designer, musician, and farmer. Lonna spends much of the growing season, working in her large garden at Onion Creek Farm northwest of Ames, Iowa, where she also lives and has her studio. She is often seen at farmers markets in the area and playing the dulcimer and other instruments with the Pretty Good Band or calling contra dances. Most of the LonnaCards are produced on cover stock paper with a background that is mottled and subtly colored. The paper is folded once for a finished width of 4 1/4 inches and length of 5 1/2 inches high. The interior space is blank for you to write your own message. If interested in purchasing some cards or finding out more about Lonna and her work, you may:
