Academic Calendars now in!

For those of you who like to get your year started in August, we just received the first academic calendars for the 2013 - 14 season.  Whether you want a wall calendar, a desk blotter calendar or a wire-bound planner we have you covered!

Stationery Show Wrap

We always arrive at the show breathlessly seeking fresh new looks for the season!  We were not disappointed!  Here are some of our favorite trends:

Chalkboard art is still strong and we found it cleverly incorporated in all kinds of paper goods.

The new Kate Spade booth had quite the buzz at the show.  We swooned over the witty, bold simplicity of the designs.  Be sure to stay tuned, we ordered almost all of it!

Watercolors in summery pastels - a really fresh look!  Mara-Mi has lovely notecards and invitations.  This Kate Spade 2014 planner is a stunner!  Beautiful art throughout the book!

 We were delightfully surprised to find these Florence Broadhurst designs at the Giftwrap Co.  You may recognize some of these patterns from Kate Spade bags and fabrics.  Look for them in the shop very soon!

 Gold foil and letterpress are showing up in all kinds of uses.  These notebooks will add flair to desktops!

 We really fell for these fresh, playful prints evoking gay Paris!  They are on the way along with notecards, greeting cards...

 Organic glam!  We love the contrast of these timeless styles, hand done in gold leaf.  Alicia got to choose the paper colors so we could put together a look that is Paper Delights!

Rifle Paper Company continues to lead the new design aesthetic.  We saw Rifle-inspired designs throughout the show, but a visit to the Rifle booth made it clear who was leading the way!  This amazing 2014 desk calendar {check out the packaging} is just a tease of the gorgeous paper goods on the way!

At last!  Our most popular letter pressed desk calendar has arrived!  The talented, local artist at Ilee Papergoods has once again, not disappointed.  What's so special?  Multiple {3 - 4} letter pressed colors on each page, variety of art styles, each one a beautiful and creative depiction of the month!  It's a year-long gift:  monthly art and inspiration!  Come in and indulge!

2012 Art Calendars

One of our favorite things about fall is watching new crop of art calendars arrive! The selection is larger than ever this year. There is a wonderful array of formats from large wall posters to the tiniest of desk easel calendars. The artwork is as varied as the sizes with each artist's interpretation of seasonal themes. Now is the time to drop by, enjoy the view and choose while the picking is ripe!
