Thanks for Stopping By!

Love these cards we just printed for a local realtor. Two great house options to choose from, The House on Loop Road shown here or The House on Rose Grove. Did you know the House on Loop Road is actually my great-grandparents house in Monroe, LA? The House on Rose Grove is my current house. Lucy did an amazing job painting this for our new address cards. Tomorrow is our 4th giveaway and you are going to love it. I will give you a hint, its exactly what you will need to plan your next party!

SWEET CANDY PARTY

We are working on a SWEET candy party with a Dylan's Candy Bar theme. I am thrilled with the new format option for these invitation. I would typically use the optional font color and another in the image but we had a custom request from the birthday girl for pink and green. If you have been reading the blog for awhile then you may recall we had mentioned this new design a while ago....sigh....there are never enough hours in the day. Send us a note if you want to see a proof for your next invitation order with this style!

Welcome: The Back Porch North

Welcome to our new store, The Back Porch located in North Palm Beach, Florida. If you are not familiar with the store, it was recently opened by three good friends, Ann Kohlmeyer, Nan Nicklaus O'Leary(daughter of golf great Jack Nicklaus) and Ashley Frederickson. We are thrilled to have them carry Hampton Paper in their store and of course we now need to plan a "work" trip to Palm Beach to visit! If you live in the area please drop by and ask to see our line.

Under The Magnifying Glass

It's probably no surprise that someone who loves paper as much as I do loves a beautiful paperweight. I love the magnifying style and the dome on this hand crafted glass is beautiful. As always, any image is available. This is just an updated style to an existing product so it doesnt count as one of the 5 new products I will be releasing. :) Sorry for the delayed blog post, I was up in NYC checking out the shops on 5th avenue!

On The Back Burner: Recipe Cards

These recipe cards have literally been on the back burner for a year! It's such a requested product and we have offered them on a one off basis but I want to officially add them to our portfolio. We have 4 options - solid border or no border and then the image on the bottom right or top left. I must say, I love these and have thought of some many great ways to use them. Read on for some good ideas. I bet you have a few of your own.

Basic recipe card. Simple and classic. Just like the ones your mom used before everything was digital. I think this is a great idea to have someone you love write down their best recipes to share with the family. It really means something when you can see a loved ones writing on recipe cards. Also, like a great very loved cookbook, ones that are imperfect and worn from use and the best ones! I have a recipe card from my mother in law with her amazing buttermilk cookie recipe. She makes these for me when I come to visit and always send a few in the car with cold drinks when my father in law picks us up from the airport!

Here's an idea that has been on my mind for a while. I love when a wedding shower includes favorite recipes from the attendees. What a great way to shower the bride - best loved recipes from family and friends. When I have done this in the past, I always share my favorite recipe for Sour Cream Coffee Cake from Cotton Country Cookbook. This is one of my mom's favorite cookbooks - talk about well loved, when she bought my sister and I our own copy, we didn't recognize the cover!!

Love the idea of the pineapple. Pineapple means "welcome".

I am already thinking ahead for holiday gifts for my neighbors. One of the ladies at my bus stop gave me this great jar filled with choc chip oatmeal cookie mix and a note on how to make them. This card would have been perfect!
