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.

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).

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.
