Monogram Monday

Lets just get this out of the way- I am a sucker for monograms and even more of a sucker for stationery. A week or two ago I was at Needle in a Haystack working when a flipchart of stationery goody caught my eye so before leaving I checked it out and I fell in love. Haute Papier has some of the best personalized stationery out there. The liners are amazing! I love the bright colors mixed with the modern lettering. Even better that it's pretty fairly priced (50 letterpressed cards with a liner will run you about $150.)

Happy Halloween!! Still have pumpkins sitting on your front porch needing to be carved? I love these monogrammed pumpkins- such a chic way to be festive! Or are you like me and do you hate the gutting of the pumpkins so you'd rather them sit there? Then paint your monogram on and if you are up to it add some glitter! I hope everyone has a spooktacular day!

In honor of kids going back to school today I thought I would post some very cute back-to-school items that are all must haves from Garnet Hill. I am a big fan of using kids initials on their school bags and lunchboxes- they are much tougher to get confused and/or stolen when you know exactly who it belongs too! Be careful when using their full name on any items that they carry regularly since it makes them a target for stranger danger (and I don't even have children!!) I love all the back to school items on Garnet Hill. My sister bought my niece's back pack there last year and it still looks good! They have a great special running through September 6- if you buy a back pack you get a lunch box free!

If you are a fan of Kate Spade like I am then you are going to love her new initial notes! I love the black and white stripe (seeing as though I received a black and white striped purse from Kate Spade for my birthday) and I love the block initial in gold embossing. The bright green lining gives a great pop of color and pulls the whole Kate Spade signature look together!

pads range from $8.00-$22.00}

A day late! (better late than never!) I get a lot of notepads- which I love- but these particular notepads I think are my favorite! They were a gift to me from the girls at Donovan Designs during our December sale meeting and I love how bright the pink one is yet still sophisticated! And who doesn't love some black and white damask?! What I love most is that the girls at Donovan Designs are super speedy and always affordable!! And for all you Bravo fans- Bethenny is a big fan of DD too!

Happy Monday! Last week I was MIA bc I was at the New York Stationery and battling a sinus infection from hell. I thought I would share these SUPER cute enclosures from the new Bella Ink release because they have been on almost every order thus far from this release. Great little in store pick up! I love enclosure cards bc sometimes you just need to write a quick "congrats!" or "happy birthday!" and throw it in with the gift and go. The initial makes it a great and easy personalized gift- and they will retail around $6- who can resist that?!

Luxury Monogram

Spring has sprung- or maybe it is Summer has Spring since it was near 90 all weekend in Dallas and I was at the pool! Anywho- I love the folded notes from Lily Pulitzer because nothing says spring like Lilly! The patterns are bright and fun (like her dresses!) and can really be used for girls of any age! This is a great pick up for under $20!! Check out her gift items too- great for girls off too college!!

{All stamps from the FooYou shop on Etsy}

I'm baaack. Made it through the move- we have Internet- things are starting to be hung on the walls- life has resumed back to normal (almost.) Over the weekend I bought a cute new rubber stamp for my new house! I have bought several stamps from Fountain Maury previous but they aren't open for business at the moment so I turned to Etsy to see what I could find. There were so so many cute stamps to choose from that it was tough to pick! I chose the one on the top, from the ForYoo shop, because I loved the font- honestly I could have bought 5. Return address stamps make for GREAT gifts- teachers, moms, girlfriends, house warming- really just about any occasion!

Ah, Rifle Paper Co. how I love thee. This line makes me smile because the look is so unique to them. I love the hand painted look that has a little vintage flare. Rifle Paper Co. does custom stationery, wedding invites, and even prints (i love the hat collection!) When I was looking at the site over the weekend (and swooning) I fell in love with these monogrammed notes. How sweet the initials become with the floral wreath. I love Rifle Paper Co. because I think it could be your hip letterpress customer but also could be loved by your classic Crane customer as well. Enjoy checking out their site- be prepared to fall in love!

I have been on the quest for new stationery now for several months- yes believe it or not I can't make up my mind. I love stationery, and don't get me wrong I have plenty, but I lack a hip piece of personal paper in my life these days. I am still mildly obsessed with Mr. Boddingtons Studio (see post here and here) and I am thinking that these notes are exactly what i need- feminine, sophisticated and hip but not stuffy and boring and predictable. I love how feminine the font is and the return address makes the envelope exciting when it come is the mail- so different! I'm betting they cost a pretty little penny (or more than I can rationally spend on paper) but if I don't see something else soon I may just have to make justify it!

{All pillows from No. Four Eleven}

Ok, ok I know it is Tuesday but I love these Monogram Pillows that I found this week while browsing the latest issue of Lonny. I am mildly obsessed with monogramming. I am not over the top- I do not own monogrammed shoes or sweaters- but if a piece of linen or luggage can be monogrammed, so be it. I love that the monograms are custom and so incredibly unique. The middle one if my favorite and may or may not need to be ordered when I get my new bedroom furniture this spring!
