75% Off

Everything in the store is now 75% off!

There is now a little less than 2 weeks to shop in the store.

Lots of people have asked me if the store is picked over and the answer is NO. There are still some fabulous gifts, lots of invitations and stationery.  At these prices you should be able to fill your gift closet and you might as well buy any invitation you like if you even think you might have a party in the next 5 years. 

If you REALLY don't need anything - just stop by and say Hi!

Sidewalk Sale

Our entire store is 50% off right now, so I guess this could be a little redundant, but we are having a joint sidewalk sale with our neighbors Sweet Home.  The sidewalk sale is today until 5:30 p.m., Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and

Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  

Hope to see you shopping!

Bad News/Good News

BIG NEWS:

So, after almost 10 years in our shop we've made the difficult decision to close the store front (that's the bad news).  I'll really miss coming to my little personal oasis of an office everyday.  However, there is good news - I'm moving my business to my home!  I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without my favorite clients and getting to be creative for them.  I will continue to design, print and work with other incredibly creative vendors to create fabulous custom invitations and stationery (like Julie Holcomb, Page, Design Corral, Dauphine Press, Checkerboard and more).  I'll also continue to do monogramming and work with some of our extra special vendors who do monogrammed gifts (Talley Ho, Susquehanna, Graphic Image and HeartStrings).

Our last "official" day of business will be Thursday, May 7th.  In the next 4 weeks we basically need to sell ALL of our inventory (since I'm about to move a business into my under 2,000 sq. foot home...).  In hopes of selling everything in the store EVERYTHING in stock is currently 50% OFF!  This is your opportunity to stock up on invitations, stationery and gifts.  Don't forget - you'll need teacher gifts soon enough.  All custom orders (from vendor albums) will not be discount, but we will continue to take orders from them for the next couple weeks.  We will also continue to personalize stationery and print invitation for the next 3 weeks (+/-). 

 

Please stop by, stock up and visit us while we're still here.  I'll continue to keep you posted on sales and specials. 

Many thanks for your years of support!

Luck of The Irish

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day we are offering 50% off anything green in the store.  You are NOT limited to St. Patrick's Day items.  Stationery, vases, invitations and gifts that are the color green all apply!

Woo-Hoo Spring Break 2015!

Just in case you all were wondering what Spring Break looked like here at the store...

It looks like 300 hand cut 

and hand lined wedding envelopes! 

We're Here!

If any of you have driven by, I'm sure you are wondering what is going on with our building.  Our landlord has decided to put new siding on our building.  It looks a little like we are just boarding our building up, but we're not.  We are here and working (amidst the noise)! So bear with us as the siding goes up and then the painting begins.  We'll be here through it all - 

construction, spring break, sxsw...

As a reminder our normal hours of operation are Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Family Stationery

Happy Friday!

Thought I'd share this fun family stationery that we just designed and printed for a client.  Just remember, your family may not always be fun, but there's no reason your stationery shouldn't be!

Have a good weekend.

Take Your Pick of Holiday!

St. Patrick's Day is Tuesday, March 17th and we have lots of cute invitations and stationery for all you celebrating "Irish" out there!  And who doesn't like green?  

 

Then, the first weekend in April is Easter weekend.  So if you are thinking about hosting family or a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt we have LOTS of cute options.  

Stop by and look at all our super cute holiday items right now! It will brighten your day for sure.

In Love with a Liner

Let me count the ways I love this marbleized liner.

1. Every envelope is different because of the variation

of this hand made paper

2. The depth of color is so beautiful and unique

3.  There are 3 different color ways to choose from

(don't even ask which is my favorite)

I've now seen this in a wedding invitation, party invitation and stationery all on different colored card stock and each order has been incredible looking. 

Sushi + Graduation + Wine

We just received a super fun, custom, 2-color letterpressed graduation party invitation.  The client was working on her dissertation as well as her party invitation when we began this process.  Then the party invitation took a back seat for a little while while she finished up the more important aspect of this whole thing.  As soon as her school work was completed, the party planning resumed.  Page created the custom art work for the invitation (the sushi, graduation cap and glass of wine) and then we used it again on the place cards.  The art work and block text were in Coal ink and then all of the script was in Berry ink.  Then she selected the cobalt liner for the envelopes.  Love it! What a fun dinner this will be.  Congratulations Katie!

Gold Foil Save the Date

Wasn't this a pretty picture to start my work day to?  This lovely save the date with gold foil border and letterpress text certainly is lovely.  Would love to see the actual wedding invitation too!

Valentine Sale

Valentine's Day is on Saturday!  We decided to put all our Valentine cards, invitations and card stock on sale - 75% OFF!  This should leave no excuse as to why you can't tell the people in your life they are loved.

Invitation with Rose Gold

I do like some rose gold these days (obviously lots of other people do too).  I thought that the incorporation of rose gold on this wedding invitation by Dauphine Press was so pretty with the pearl and black ink. 

Happy Monday!

Lovely Linen

Let me begin this post by saying that the temperature in Austin, Texas today is almost 80 degrees, which may make part of this post seem less random...  Yes, I am about to do a blog post in January about linen dresses.

One of our linen vendors has been in business for over 100 years.  We have a lot of their hemstitched guest towels that we then have monogrammed and are fabulous gifts.  However, they also produce classic baby gifts (like baby pillow shams and baptism dresses), bed linen and table top linens.  Yesterday we received an order of precious linen hemstitched dresses for little girls, that are going to look incredible monogrammed.  We also received their linen hemstitched tooth fairy pillows. Not only are these items precious and classic they are super affordable!  The dress is $36.50 + $14 for the monogram and they go up to a size 5.  The tooth fairy pillow is $7. 

We've got Valentines!

I am not one of those people that despises Valentine's Day.  I like chocolate, candy, wine, hand written notes and the color pink.  I also like letting my friends and family members know I love them.  With that being said, what's not to like? I get it - it is a fluff holiday, but I enjoy a certain aspect of it.  So if you share any of my above sentiments, let it be known that we currently have a great selection of Valentine cards (that are not too mushy) and invitations.  Make the most of this fluff holiday.  Let the people in your life that you love know it on this day.

January is Sale Month!

Apparently, January is "officially" stationery sale month.  In addition to Crane & Co. stationery sale there are 4 different invitations sales.  1.  Checkerboard is offering 25 free invitations if you buy 75 or more.  This applies to party invitations, corporate invitations, wedding invitations, shower invitations and rehearsal dinner invitations.  2.  Arzberger is offering 10% off wedding invitaitons. 3.  William Arthur is offering 25% off of reply cards.  4.  Page is offereing 10% off their save the date cards (letterpressed or flat printed). They are also offering 10% off their digitally printing (flat printed) wedding invitations OR buy 100, get 25 letterpressed wedding invitations for free.  LOTS of sale options right now. 

Pretty Stationery

Because it's the new year, and Crane is having a stationery sale and because it is NOT a pretty day here in the ATX, I thought the least I could do was share some pretty stationery.  Happy Saturday!  I'm here till 4:00 p.m. today if anyone feels inspired to pick out some lovely stationery on this grey day.

Crane & Co. Die Sale!

It's the time of year to write thank you notes for all those holiday gifts.  It's also the time of year for the Crane & Co. die sale.  Here's the scoop - buy 100 (or more) piece of stationery and receive your engraving or letterpress plates for FREE!  They are usually $48 each, so if you were to have your stationery and envelopes engraved that would be a $96 savings.  Now is the time to buy your stationery.
