We’ve still got new arrivals coming in from the orders we placed at the National Stationery Show in May! It was like Christmas all over again this afternoon when i got to unwrap a bundle of incredible cards from Twig & Fig. These cards are foil stamped on wood veneer- which, if I do say so myself, is probably one of the coolest things i’ve ever seen. I highly encourage all you locals to stop in and check ‘em out! And while you’re here let us know what you think of our great new paint colors. The whole place is getting a facelift for it’s 16th birthday and even though we’re still very much a construstion zone, it’s all coming together quite nicely! For those of you unlucky enough to be too far away for a quick visit, keep your eye out- more pictures are on their way!

fun day

also if your in the neighborhood do stop by! the stuff from the national stationery show is starting to arrive! so many cards we do not even have enough place to display them. also begining mid june we will be open on saturdays from 10am to 3 pm! we hope to see you then.

plantable press tag

we were asked if we could create the tag for the press kits for the presidential debate at belmont university on october 7th. they are trying to reduce paper consumption which i imagine with over 3600 press kits that would be a lot! so instead they are loading the press kits on a jump drive and we created a plantable tag that will be attached to the recycled bags that will hold the jump drive among other stuff. once we get pictures of them hanging from the bags i will post it.

it just goes to show you all the creative ways you can reduce waste at any level!

“The other day I spotted these adorable letter pressed cards by Porridge Papers over on From Tiki with Love blog.   Not only are they sweet as can be, but after use they can be planted.  Yes, planted!  Each card is embedded with wildflower seeds.  It’s a gift that keeps on giving and is such a great eco-solution to cards that sit around collecting dust or end up in a landfill somewhere.  Genius!

with the ability to add most seeds and custom match the color of paper to your color scheme you can end up with an invitation that was designed around you, rather then choosing from ones that have already been designed.
