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!

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.

Aaahhhhh...ombre

Spring is arriving at Paper Delights daily!  The latest breath of freshness came in the form of brushed pastel gift wraps from Rifle.  The colors are right on trend:  one side is gradations of coral pink and the reverse is a minty teal.  Use this nice, heavy paper for a variety of inspired paper crafting  - even wrapping a beautiful Mothers Day gift!

Anchors aweigh!

Still smitten with anything nautical, the arrival of this fleet of anchor-motif paperware gives us a little summery thrill.  The collection includes a notepad, a little reporters' pad, file folders, coasters and a handy clipboard/portfolio.  Adorn your own workspace or bestow a little yacht-y flair on your best bud or co-worker!
