I am a little bit paranoid but do re-establishing the idea of visiting cards seem OTT to anyone? I don't want to be thought of as pretentious or vulgar. I just thought that when I am ready to meet people it would be nice to give them a card, separate and distinct from my business card (which I do pass out on business meets) but I don't want anyone I meet socially to think that I am also fishing for business. I think the idea of calling cards is quite lovely, they can have just some swirling decoration on it but with your name also, of course, originally they did not have your address on it, but today it would make sense to have some other kind of contact detail on there so people can get back to you if they want to maintain some contact.
One of the reasons I wanted to do this is because I thought it might be nice to also re-establish, afternoon tea as a practice to entertain myself (I love to bake) and also to meet people and encourage me to socialise a bit. I don't know how it will fit around my work hours because the early afternoon is usually when we work but perhaps something can be done. To be honest we only have free time between 9am -2:45pm so I don't have all the time in the world for it and I really can't entertain in my indulgent old fashioned way with the children at home.
I am aware that I come across as a terrible eccentric and I suppose that I am, but I have not had this sort of opportunity before so I just want to catch it.
I love the idea of afternoon tea. I may have to copy your idea and do more to socialise.
