It's beginning to look a lot like...
I love this pic of Blake blissfully decorating his very own Christmas tree! It embodies the feeling we are having as we put the final touches on our Christmas displays in Wallingford and our new shop in Burien! We hope you'll find the time to stop by Wallingford now and the Burien shop soon! So many happy surprises await you!
Sip, Shop and Save in Seahurst!
We hope you can join us on Thursday, December 7 from 5:00 to 8:00 at our Seahurst Shop! Sipping a cocktail while shopping is our idea of nirvana! Tiana will present a trunk show of her beautiful earrings and necklaces. We've stocked the shelves with all our favorites and we're offering a 15% discount on all our stock on hand! This is the perfect time to finish off all those gifts for girl friends, teachers, hostesses...now that is something to celebrate!
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!
