There’s a kind of silence that only comes with longing.
A kind of stillness that visits when you miss someone so deeply, their memory lingers like scent in the air. That’s the feeling this card holds.
The Shta2telek or Shta2tellak card is wrapped in the warmth of a single gardenia: the flower of memory, softness, and elegance. Paired with Arabic calligraphy that whispers “I miss you” wavy in Farsi calligraphy just like the Gardenia’s petals… and soft English prose that reads:
Our time together makes the world
feel a little softer…
a little more still.
Like gardenias on a cool summer evening.
miss you..
This card was born from your stories:
Of your dad’s gardenia garden..
Of the necklace you once bought as a young girl..
Of tata or setti’s house in the village ..
Of your morning walks on the Rouché.
Of the flowers mama still sends you on WhatsApp from back home.
Of everything we quietly ache for.
Gardenias remind us of who we are when we are with the ones we love most.
Their velvety petals, their timeless scent, their way of softening even the heaviest afternoon heat .. Gardenia takes us home.
Why “Shta2telek”?
