Work, Play, Stray - photos from the week of May 5th

Happy spring!

Mark your calendar for the HeARTalot Photamerica showcase

Modern calligraphy is growing in popularity which thrills us.

We had the most lovely time swooning over this amazing

calligraphy by artist Chelsea Petaja during a recent consultation.

Her designs for Bella Figura have always caught my eye.

This week we re-stocked on some goodies for the

Stray at Home music festival and some other shows

we will be doing this summer. Our colorful

Mississippi napkins are back in stock!

In lieu of business cards, we took these frost cups

to the Stray at Home music festival and handed them out.

Debuting at Stray at Home were several new and exclusive

gold foil prints that we designed.  This one was purchased

several times and given for Mother's Day!

Adding any casual frame makes this a delight to display.

The National Stationery Show is right around the corner,

and we are anticipating it's arrival by sending a little love

to some of our vendors via a fun poem with a NY theme.

On the design front, monograms continue to fascinate our brides.

One bride had a friend in Dallas create this lovely duogram for her wedding.

We used it throughout invitations, programs, and cups & napkins.

A more contemporary monogram adorned this suite

that we developed for a bride in the DC area.

We handled the full service of stamping, sealing, and mailing these for her,

so she never even had to come visit our store!

Instagram is one of our favorite ways to stay in touch

with what our favorite designers have been up to.

I have always loved the creations of Mae Mae Paperie,

and she constantly inspires us with her color choices.

Wondering what to give the person who has everything

and is so hard to shop for? Give them a return address stamp

kit - it includes the stamper, plus a pre-paid promotional code

so they can pick out whatever design they want - you don't have to guess

what they would like!

We'll leave you with a few photos from Stray at Home

where we had a booth along with so many other talented artists.

The fundraiser was to help finance improvements to Smith Park.

The music was amazing, and so were the organizers.

We hope to see you there next year!
