Window Treatments
Michelle did a new winter window to brighten spirits and warm ourwinter blues. While some say love is blue too, we kept the Valentine wedding ribbons in place in our wedding window (below)- just luv the romantic streamers combo-ed with the porcelain feathers. Who says winter doesn't have a softer side?!

Necklaces and Bags and Scarves - Oh My!
You may have noticed that On Paper is not just about paper anymore. Actually, it never was... when we opened our tag line was-
Handmade Paper, Stationery & Invitations, Uncommon Gifts
The years have weathered an interesting ebb and flow on the product front and one of the truly great things about being a small independent business is the ability to be able to shift with the ever changing tides.
I dare say that I am loving all these new products and textures- crunchy crisp canvas bags, the sparkle-ie wink as a necklace glistens, a dangling charm here and there. And that's why today I was just so pleased with myself as I unpacked my first order of scarves.
It's no secret that I am a fabric snob and I selected these little lovelies for their textures, details, and well, yes, their price points. At $26 and $34 they are an easy "yes" and a great way to warm your winter blues!
Now I just need to find the perfect display fixture!

Hot off the Gift Show Floor
Whew! Recovering from one hectic buying trip- The New York International Gift Fair- a whirlwind three days, running the aisles to cull the best of the best!
So what did I buy? Lots of vintage-y inspired treasures in the wings. Here's a hint of what's in store (in a few short weeks)...
Really tried to focus on expanding the assortment of fashion accessories that are gaining popularity - so lots of super cool scarves (!), headbands (!), rings, weekend bags, baubles and bling!!
Great bags for summer (hard to remember that summer even exists in this sub zero weather!) and those long weekends away
Lovely necklaces and earrings fashioned from vintage buttons
Now the really hard part... can't wait till everything arrives!

Magnifique Magnolia
Just lovin' the softest shades of pink this season! Contrasted with black for that splash of drama, or combined with hints of gold for delectable confection softness. Either way, we have the perfect palette of pinks to create the perfect invite.
