Gift Wrapping Creativity!
Once we begin to get our gift list under control, it's time to think about putting together a pretty combination of giftwraps! Weather you love the traditional red and green or prefer a contemporary look of gold and white we have a lovely selection of patterns in each of our shops.This year as we continue to be totally smitten with all forms of calligraphy, we've had such fun creating wrap with plain black, white, kraft or gray paper and a variety of the pens we have in stock. The Faber-Castell white PITT artist pen makes a striking, bold line on black, kraft or gray wrap. If you haven't had a chance to take one of our Calligraphy classes yet (check them out here: http://www.paperdelights.com/product-category/classes/), you may want to get a start with a good calligraphy book. We recommend Modern Calligraphy Workshop by Imogen Owen (https://www.paperdelights.com/product/modern-calligraphy-workshop/).What to write on your lovely wrap? Repeating the name of the recipient (on a diagonal?) makes a snappy pattern. Lyrics to a familiar Christmas Carol makes a nostalgic statement. If beautiful script is not your thing, try using a long straight edge and a bold to make a trendy plaid or repeat a small icon in a grid pattern. Add a ribbon, a sprig of holly or cedar and you have a package that shows how much you care!
Start the season with sanity!
Small Business Saturday is our opportunity to thank all of our customers who have supported us for nearly ten years! We'll have some sweet treats at each of our shops and a gift with each purchase. If you, like us, are a list-maker who gets just a little satisfaction from checking off your accomplishments, this little notebook is for you - free with your purchase this Saturday! It's just the vehicle you need to hold all your holiday lists: gift lists (who's naughty, who's nice), shopping lists, card lists, wish lists, grocery lists...keep them all in your handy (and stylish) new little holiday notebook! See, touch, smell and enjoy each of our shops, decked out for the holidays! This is the very best way to find special little things for family, friends and yourself. For those of us who like to choose from the full selection of holiday goodies, this is THE weekend! Claim your holiday notebook and begin your seasonal sanity!
Mother's Day Sip 'n Shop
Mark your calendar! May 4, 4:00 - 7:00pm at our Seahurst Shop! This is our second annual collaboration with Glassy Baby to raise money for the Highline Schools Foundation. Like last year, drop by to sip a cocktail, shop our new selection of specially curated "Mom" gifts or pick out a special glassy baby. It's a fun celebration of spring with the added bonus that a portion of every purchase is donated to the Highline Schools Foundation! If you'd like to give mom a gift of a special donation in her name we can help you with that as well! So, bring a friend, bring a mom or come by yourself...just don't miss out!
