Chalkboard Paper
School's out, but chalkboard art is definitely in! Chalkboard paper table covering sets the stage for a playful, casual summer dinner. Stocked in our shop in rolls of twenty-five feet, just roll it out, add chalk and watch the fun unfold! Couldn't be simpler!
No need for place cards!
Let your guests in on the fun! Be sure to tuck a piece of chalk into each place setting and watch the art in action. As the wine pours, the doodling begins. 
Ta-dah! Our guests expressed themselves during the meal with a bit of creative doodling and we have a little souvenir of the evening. Hmmm… wondering how we might use this paper…
Paper crafting al fresco!
We couldn't believe our good luck on May Day to have an 80 degree evening for our first Crepe Paper Flower Class! It seemed just perfect as we set up our paper flower-laden table in the breezeway outside the shop. Our black chalkboard paper had just arrived {Kitchen Papers} so we used it to cover the tables and try out the accompanying white chalk {such fun!}.
As our participants arrived, everyone seemed delighted to be spending this rare and lovely evening outdoors. A little vodka-laced lemonade added extra cheer!
As the sun gave off its last glimmers, we all showed off our creative paper blossoms!
