Feeling crafty?

If these longer, late summer nights are making you feel crafty, we have just the thing for you!  Create your own gift tags, greeting cards or just embellish envelopes or notes with these new stamp sets from Yellow Owl Workshops.  We love the simple, hand-cut designs, packaged to work together!

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!

Bright brushstrokes - huge spring trend!

Once you see the full selection of invitations you'll want to plan a party!

Double the pleasure - fun to send & fun to receive!  Send a message on these delightful notecards and you'll spread that happy feeling!  Not only are the cards and invitations amazing, but the envelopes are textured, white paper with a gold print inside.  You'll want to drop by the shop to see the full selection.

Time to write thank you notes!

Seems like a bit of a chore, but once I have some pretty cards on nice paper I get inspired!  It really gives me a chance to think about each gift that someone picked out for me and the thought and care that went into it.  It also feels great to mark each one off the to-do list!  If you need a little inspiration, come into the shop and peruse our great selection of designs until you find just the thing to express your gratitude!
