Holly Springs, NC (BlackNews.com) - Logging on to your favorite greeting card website, or walking into the local stationery store and trying to find invitations or greeting cards featuring African Americans can be a tumultuous task. Simply put, most stationery stores online and off feature little if any African American invitations or greeting cards. Want one featuring African American kids? Again, you are most likely will be out of luck, until now, thanks to a new company called Sweet Berry Lane.
Sweet Berry Lane specializes in creating greeting cards and stationery that features African American children and adults. The company sells invitations, announcements, Christmas greeting cards, and gifts all featuring African Americans in a positive light.
"I have two young kids, and if my son wants to have a pirate themed party, I want to be able to find stationery that looks like he does, or if my daughter wants a ballerina themed party, I want to be able to find invitations that represent her," explains Sweet Berry Lane Founder and Owner, Yolanda Jones, in regards to her motivation for creating this innovative company.
Sweet Berry Lane's initial offerings include Christmas Cards for the upcoming holiday season, kid party invitations featuring African American princesses, ballerinas, pirates, and more.

"At the heart of this company is the concept that African Americans are underrepresented in the greeting card and stationery markets. We wanted to develop a line of cards that was fun, whimsical, and portrayed African Americans in a positive light. Sweet Berry Lane is here for all those that want stationery products that resonate with their culture, and their family and friends," notes Sweet Berry Lane founder Yolanda Jones.
