What's a Portfolio?

     I've have a few people that have asked me what a "Portfolio" is... I sell sets of handmade Note Cards and I've recently learned how to make my own "Portfolio".  In my description of some of my note cards, I state "comes with matching portfolio" and it's the term used in that context that seems to be causing befuddlement (if that's not a word, it sure ought to be lol)  
     Anyway... the portfolio is a holder for the stationery.  You open it up and there inside are the cards and the envelopes and on some, even a little pocket to hold your stamps.  Here is an example of the portfolio for stationery: (don't forget that you can click on the image to get a bigger view of it.)

     You can see the cards and envelopes tucked behind the vellum pockets, and both sides are secured by ribbon so that they don't flop around.  This set is for sale at my store (see links to the to the right).
