Window Shopping for Mom
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 10th. Only a few weeks away and right now we don't know whether we'll still be hanging out at home or... We are always happy to help you find something from the shop whether it is in the window or sitting on a shelf inside! Just email us at info@paperdelights.com and we'll get back to you. Be sure to send your phone number and we can contact you with gift ideas and delivery and payment options.
Here is a sampling of a few of our Mom's Day gifts.
- "Lomelino's Cakes - 27 Pretty Cakes to Make Any Day Special" is full of inspiring pics and some amazing cake recipes. The author, Linda Lomelino grew up obsessed with baking and has shared all her tips and tricks! ($22.95)
- The little stacks of boxes in the window pic are the micro-fiber Hair Wraps($20.95) and Beach Towels ($22.95). Check out the previous blog post for all the details.
- A new book by Lisa Congdon, "A Glorious Freedom" is a delightful compilation of the lives that some amazing women turned around in midlife and later. ($19.95)
- "One Line a Day" is a journal that provides just enough space for a few thoughts for each day. It is cleverly laid out so you can see what you wrote (and thought) on that same day of the previous year. You can continue for five years, one day at a time. This is an enlightening way to monitor the progress of children, career, life...($16.95)
- This Kate Spade striped insulated tumbler will always remind mom of sunny days while she sips a cool drink! ($18.00)
- We have a lovely variety of scented candles in the shop. We featured the Illume "Fresh Sea Salt" scent in pretty glass vessels in two sizes. Large ($32.00) Small ($24.00) Let us know if you are looking for another scent!
- Rifle insulated wine glass tumblers. While the signature Rifle flowers look stunning, your wine will keep nice and cool inside! ($30.95)
Window Shopping
It looks like many of us won't be able to give our grandkids a big hug on Easter Sunday :(. Consider sending an unbelievably cuddly Jellycat stuffed bunny to do the job for you!
This is just one of the items we have available in our new "Window Shop". We've transformed our windows along 152nd and on 9th Ave. into a (very) low-tech "catalog" of sorts! We've tried to include a variety of items. Each is labeled with an item number, name and price. We couldn't put candles in the window because of the sun but if there is a candle scent that you have been craving we are happy to get that to you as well.
So, how does it work? Just send us an email at info@paperdelights.com with your name, address and phone number. Include the item numbers and names of the goodies you want. If you want something that is not in the window, describe it in the email and we will do our best to get that to you as well!. We will call you with a total and you can give us your credit card over the phone. If you live in the Burien/Normandy park area we will arrange to drop off your treasures outside your home in one day for free (what else do we have to do?). We can also arrange for a pick up outside our shop or (for a shipping fee) we can drop it in the mail.
We miss you! We miss being in our little shop and like everyone we miss normalcy! At the same time we are grateful that the COVID-19 has not struck anyone that we know and we hope the same it true for you. On the upside we love the creativity that these new circumstances have inspired. We love the lack of traffic, we love ZOOM, and we love jigsaw puzzles (who new they were addictive?).
Drop by and take a peek! We hope to hear from you soon! Take care :)
Spread a little love
Valentines Day is my favorite holiday! It doesn't demand the all-out over-the-top gift giving experience that Christmas has come to require. Just a sweet little something to give that response of delight! Drop by our shop and step into our happy, heart-filled world of gifts to express your affection!
Of course we have delicious candy treats - beautiful non-pareil cherry hearts {as yummy as they pretty}, Seattle Chocolate specialty chocolate bars, Fran's salted chocolate caramels, chocolate toffee treats and more!
Be sure to pick out a card that says just the right thing: romantic, silly, pretty, witty, kid-friendly, or even a little naughty! We still have a dizzying assortment so you might want to reserve a little time for a proper search ;).
Now a gift to go with the candy and card! How about a fresh houseplant in a lovely new pot? {We are SOOO excited about this new obsession}. OR choose from our selection of books: Love Poems (for people with kids), Modern Love {fresh from the Prime series}, Sarah Adler's new cookbook, Simply Real Eating... OR maybe a lovely pair of earrings, or necklace... OR so many sweet little something-somethings!
