Bella Ink Holiday

{via}

What is there not to love about these invitations for holiday parties from Bella Ink?! I always love Bella Ink's designs but I especially love her Holiday release this year. I am a big fan of how she mixes whimsy with a bit of sass- it truly makes her designs her own. I love how they got on board with the chalk board designs that have been everywhere this season but still kept the designs looking timeless.  I feel like these invites are for the kind of party I want to go to!

Sugar Paper

Sometime I feel like I could write a blogpost everyday about my love for a Sugar Paper item and I would be happy. Seriously I love everything they do and their Holiday collection does not differ. This year they introduced amazing photo cards. I love these cards and they are sure to be sell outs- they beat anything you can do online. I love the classic stripes and polka dots (who doesn't love a foiled dot!) and the envelopes all come lined and the cards are greeted! If photo cards are your thing I am sure your family, kids, grandkids, or dogs would look great on any of these cards!

Rifle Paper Holiday

Let's keep the Holiday theme rolling around here and onto Rifle Paper Co.'s amazing collection for the Holidays. I am pretty sure there is nothing Rifle Paper does that everyone doesn't love. This is one of my favorite lines that I sell because not only do I always love it but my stores always get excited to see what is coming next from Mrs. Bond. I am pretty obsessed with their plaid wrap this year and if I HAD to pick a favorite card it would probably be the colorblock Be Merry and Bright card. I also love the Holiday Snow Scene postcard (great for anyone who spends their Holiday in the mountain skiing!) and The stickers are the best that I have seen out there for easy gift tags! Really you can never go wrong with anything from Rifle.

Kate Spade New York

I am not good at keeping secrets. Anyone who even kind of knows me knows that you should never tell me anything that is not shareable (and if you don't know me you have been warned for when we do become friends, ha!) I have known a pretty big secret most of the year and with that being said, we found out at the beginning of the year that we would have a BIG addition to our line packages this spring with the release of Kate Spade stationery and gift. Now I feel like Kate and I have been friends for a long time- I own a black nylon bags, wallets, moved into black and white stripes with her and really feel like this is a brand I identify with season after season. This week the collection is going to be hitting the stores and it is really awesome to get to see how excited everyone is for it! All of the collection is actually pretty affordable and I think brings a big bang with it's price point.

Karen Adams Designs

One of my favorite lines that I sell is Karen Adams Designs. She does an amazingly beautiful calendar that we sell so many of sometimes I am sure every person in Dallas must have one. During the New York Stationery Show in May she released a series of Cabana Striped notecards that just make me happy. I love the bright colors with the sweet sayings in gold foil... really anything gold foiled wins my heart these days! I love cards like these because they are perfect to write a quick note but they could also work as a birthday card or thank you or congrats with just a couple of lines written on them.

Restoration Redo

If you live in Dallas you know that starting on Friday it is Partners Card Week! (woohoo!!!) This morning I was researching some stores that I know we will want to go into to do our Christmas Shopping with a discount. I am very impressed with the new direction that Restoration Hardware has taken- the silver sage look was VERY played out and their new look has brought them into 2010. I especially loved these leather accessories that they are offering for Christmas- hello man gift! I love the ipad case- for the most part I have only seen the generic black ones offered for men. I also love the kindle case for the same reason! Even better, these gifts are all reasonably priced! I'll let you know what else I find with my Partner's Card this weekend!

4Q MUST HAVE

Today is my first 4Q "Must Haves" for this year. I am starting off with the new iphone covers from Mixed Bags. These things are hot!! They are in some of the best selling patterns from Mixed Bags and they fit the 3G AND 4G phones (there aren't a ton out there for the 4G right now!) These bad boys will retail around $16 and they are a must have for everyones stocking this year!
