It's a Small World

I love when I have those real life examples that really our world is pretty small.  Dauphine Press, one of our fabulous letterpress companies sends out emails about once a week with samples of work they've done.  The beautiful sample that I received last week is actually someone I know!  Dauphine Press is based in New York and they have retailers all over the country.  The above rehearsal dinner invitation, menu and reply card is for the editor of The Scout Guide Austin, Kelsay Bentley, who got married in Tennessee.  French Blue & Hayden Avery were featured in last years Scout Guide Austin, so we had the pleasure of working with Kelsay on that. But, so random right?  Bottom line - I ADORE her rehearsal dinner invitation.  We would all be so lucky to have something as lovely.  Nice Work Dauphine Press!

For a Lavender Lady

I just finished printing some stationery and calling cards that will be a birthday gift for a young lady. I hope she likes them as much as I do!  What is better or more thoughtful than a personalized gift?  So the next time that you need a gift remember how special something like this is and that it only takes about 2 - 3 business days for us to print something like this (you don't even have to plan ahead that much).  

REMINDER: Father's Day is Sunday!!!  The post office was crazy today when we went to buy stamps - yikes.  Don't forget to stop by French Blue & Hayden Avery and pick up Father's Day cards for all the special dads in your life. 

Father's Day

Father's Day is Sunday, June 15 - just a week away from this Sunday! Don't forget to celebrate the father figure in your life- he deserves it! These letterpressed cards are perfect for a little note telling him how awesome he is and how much he means to you... not to mention they're cute and decked out in gold foil! Stop by and pick up the perfect card for your Dad. He'll love it, trust us.

Robin's Egg Blue & Begonia

I adore this color combination - Robin's Egg Blue & Begonia.  Such a striking invitation letterpressed by Dauphine Press.  Thought it would be nice to share something pretty on this Thursday.

Have a good one!

Camp Time!

We finally made it to summer! Well, almost, at least. Anyway, summer is (basically) here which means you and your family are most likely gearing up for camp. It's nice having a quiet house while your children are away but you'd feel even better if you heard how things at camp were going every once in a while, right? Enter camp stationery! Whether your children want to rock their camp colors or just want something with their name on it, we've got you covered. Stop by the store or shoot us an email and we'll start working on making camp stationery your kids will be desperate (no, seriously) to write on!

Happy Teachers

There are going to be some happy teachers in town very soon.  Not just because school is out for the summer, but because they are about to receive some super cute end of year teacher gifts!  We love helping to select fun and personalized gifts for teachers.  Call, email or stop by and we can help you with your teacher gifts

and graduation gifts. 

Love is in the Details

The National Stationery Show started yesterday in New York.  Unfortunately, I am not currently there.  However, I thought I would share one of my favorite

invitations to the show.

How do I love thee!

I love everything that sugar . paper creates.  First of all - I think that striped envelope is hand made.  If you carefully examine the envelope and the way that the stripes run, I think they had card stock printed with the stripes and then had it die cut and folded to be an envelope.  Then, I am loving the foil stamping on the grey card stock.  I think I am going to use this look as inspiration for my Christmas card this year (and I'm sure I am not the only one thinking that). 

Happy Monday!
