Now, they’re passing along their advice in this boxed notecard assortment of images from Gorey’s Verse Advice. From home improvement to organization, the advice in these illustrations is quite quotidian. Contains five each of the following notecards: It’s possible to pick up crumbs / By pressing on them with the thumbs. The helpful thought for which you look / Is written somewhere in a book. A one or two inch piece of string / Cannot be used for anything. A timely use of glue or paste / May well prevent a shocking waste. 20 blank notecards (5 each of 4 designs) with envelopes in a decorative box
