ClaireBella Sale

ClaireBella is having a back to school sale through July 31st on their Personalized Stadium Cushions and Personalized Koozies.  This "back to school" sale must be for college students...  Regardless of who it is really for, they are offering their stadium cushions for $28 and their koozies for $13 - which are great prices!  These actually would be cute gifts to include in camper's care packages too or even belated gradutation gifts.   Take advantage of this sale before July 31st.   You can see all of their patterns, colors and fonts on our website: www.frenchbluepapers.com

Sunny Coasters

It may be overcast, rainy and cool (86 degrees) in the ATX today (not that I'm complaining) - but I thought I would share some sunshine on this Monday!  These letterpressed coasters that recently arrived in the store are hard to miss.  They make a great hostess gift or a fun treat for yourself.  They come in boxes of 16 for $17.60.  If you don't live in-town and need some call or email us and we'll ship them right out to you!

TGIF!

Happy Friday!

Wish that I had one of these cocktail napkins for my Friday evening cocktail...

We just order these for a client who brought in a photo of what she wanted.  The only problem is I REALLY want some for myself now.  One of the downfalls of owning/working here...

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Birthday Party Cup

We recently got in these super cute stadium cups for one of our client's son's birthday party.  She always selects great invitations and coordinating napkins and cups for her childrens birthdays.  Personalized stadium cups are not only cute, but a super practical item to have at a birthday party.  Not only do you serve your guests drinks in the cup, then your guest have a great (practical) party favor.

Who doesn't love a to-go cup?

Summer Stationery

Thought I would take a minute to share some pretty engraved summer stationery that we just received for clients.  I love that both of these clients selected card stocks that didn't just have squared corners.  I feel like interesting shapes always make the stationery feel a little more unusual.  Whenever we get pretty stationery in  for clients it always makes me want to order (more) stationery.  

Happy July 8th!

I'm wishing you all a Happy July 8th because I couldn't get it together to do a post on July 3rd.  Then, we all took a LONG weekend in observation of July 4th!  So I thought I would go ahead and post our red, white and blue today!  Sort of a day-late-and-a-dollar-short...  However, this Talley Ho travel bag is so fun - the red monogram and piping really pops on the navy gingham.  I adore when a Talley Ho shipment arrives as it is ALWAYS cute!  These cosmetic bags are fabulous bridesmaids gifts, debutant gifts or just a nice gift for yourself.  I adore my Talley Ho bags and have had them for years (when they are dirty I put them in the washing machine and then line dry them).  

A New Baby!

One of our dear customers (and friend) recently had her second baby girl.  I helped her select a Crane & Co. birth announcement, which is similar to her first born's announcement but not exactly the same.  Last week when I checked the mail I was super excited to have something hand addressed to us (anything other than a bill is super exciting).  Plus this customer has incredibly beautiful handwriting!  I was even more excited when I opened her birth announcement with baby Emily's photo on it.  I thought she had chosen a lovely birth announcement, but truly when the photo is adhered it really makes the whole thing.  I obviously asked our customer if I could share this announcement on our blog.  When she emailed back to say yes, she also told me that the blanket that the baby is wrapped in, is the blanket that her father bought for her to come home from the hospital in.  SO sweet!  

Enjoy!
