As  you may have guessed, we love stationery. We love what it represents: the care and thought and planning put into ordering invitations, the personal touch and time taken to write a thank you note, the joy of sharing and receiving letters and cards and photographs during the holiday season. Who doesn't love getting real mail (not just bills and sale ads), or feel special when they receive a handwritten note or an actual invitation? We value stationery, and want others to appreciate it as well.

That said, we understand that, in the craziness of life, picking out stationery is seldom a priority and is often overwhelming. We also know that it is quite tempting to simply email, Facebook or Tweet someone an invitation, birthday wish or congratulations. In reality, sending a physical, professionally printed invitation for a "we should get together and do dinner... how does Tuesday work for you?" situation simply doesn't work. For bigger life events like birthdays, graduations, weddings, births, planning is completely possible, and stationery fast becomes a must in commemorating that milestone. 

Over the next week or so, we are going to look at some life situations and show how finding stationery, and coordinating it to your personality or taste or circumstance, really isn't that hard. We hope you'll stay with us for this, and that this little series is both helpful and enjoyable.

Congratulations! You're expecting a little baby boy in the next few months, and your mind has turned toward all things baby: cribs, blankets, showers, birth announcements. With so many options, what do you choose? Let's look at some of the possibilities. Perhaps you've registered at Babies 'R' Us for your nursery decor; they really do have some adorable sets. If you're having a boy, you might have selected one of the sets below:

A nautical theme, a sports theme, a classic baby boy nursery, a trucks theme and a jungle theme (obviously our favorite, since we've chosen 1, 2, 3, 4 to display). Absolutely adorable, but what does that have to do with stationery? Nothing, if you want. Or everything, if you like. Let's look.

If you chose a nautical nursery, we have two sets of nautical stationery to coordinate. Our Red Nautical set includes an invitation (perfect for baby showers), note cards (for thank you notes after the baby shower), stickers (which can be print with your address or simply the baby's name), gift cards (perfect for sending to family with pictures), and a placemat (to keep your table somewhat clean as baby grows up, or to use as a door sign). If red is not your favorite color, but the nursery still has a nautical theme, consider our Light Blue Nautical line: stickers, return address labels, gift cards (which can be enclosed with shower invitations and contain registry information), invitations, and announcements (great for sending as birth announcements to friends and family). Or, if your baby boy is already here, you can use our Light Blue Nautical digital photo card as a birth announcement and picture for friends and family to enjoy and keep! Other options include our Red Prep Stripe note card and invitation, our Red Chevron stationery, our Navy Rope stationery, or our Anchor stationery.  

For sports, our All Star line an excellent choice, and our Trucks line continues the theme set by the bedding above.  For the Classic Boy Nursery, our Andrew Train, Blue or Brown Swiss Dot, Blue Prep Stripe, Navy Braid and Taylor Blue lines all tie in the masculine tone with classic shades of brown and blue.

Since the Jungle nursery is our favorite, we'll show you how this all works with our Jungle stationery. You've chosen your favorite Jungle bedding (although we're having a difficult time doing so--they're all so cute), and your best friend/sister/neighbor/coworker has offered to host a baby shower for you. You can choose from several different jungle-themed invitations: 

From left to Right: Jungle Party, Jungle Buddies, Jungle Party, and Jungle Boy (also available for Girls) Invitations

The best part about these invitations is that they can be used for more than baby shower invitations; they can be birth announcements, birthday party invitations, class trips to the zoo, flyers for camps with a jungle or safari theme, and so on. In this case, though, they make adorable baby shower invitations. For those into scrapbooks, imagine a set of these: baby shower invitation, thank you card, birth announcement, first birthday, and so on, all following the same theme.  Which leads us to the next part of the Jungle set:  

The Jungle Buddies announcement card, top left, is one way to announce the birth of your baby boy after he has arrived; another way is our Jungle Buddies photo card (right), with a photo of your precious addition digitally printed on the card (perfect for far-away family and friends unable to come and visit your newborn in person). Our Jungle Party note card can be used as thank you notes for the baby shower, or later on as stationery for your child. Lastly, our Jungle Party placemat carries the jungle theme into your newborn's childhood (plus, our placemats are reversible, and the other side can have a completely different design). 

Obviously, none of these cards are limited to showers for baby boys and their mothers; there are many more uses, occasions and ways to enjoy them. We love our products, and we want to show you how wonderfully easy they are to use, and how life events and your preferences--in this case, nursery decor for a baby on the way--can be a source of inspiration in choosing stationery. Come back next week for more!

This week's Desk post features that of Cathe Holden, the craft blogger and graphic designer behind the blog Just Something I Made. A while back, Cathe sent us pictures of her office as well as information about her workspace and business. Here's what Cathe had to say:

The Desk: Something I found on craigslist for $100. It was custom built for the previous owners in the Pottery Barn style. It's two cabinets on the end with one long 9-foot surface and a pencil drawer in the middle, all in a distressed creamy white paint. I replaced the hardware with bin pulls and matching chrome knobs. It is the perfect fit for my tiny garage studio, spreading out under the window to the back yard lined with Redwood trees. It stores printer papers and transfer sheets, desk accessories (Post-It Notes, rulers, tape, etc.), computer disks, all my glues and boxed vintage ephemera. 
Chair: An office chair left over from my design firm days, recently recovered in a fun red and white cotton print.
Paper: Anything I can get to run through my desktop printer, and I've tried just about everything, including old brittle book pages. 
Calendar: In my head - not the best system.
Clock: On my Mac 
Charging:My cell phone, my MacBook, my little Canon digital camera battery.
Inspiration: My large design and vintage image library in our living room, all sorts of magazines, design blogs and Etsy artisans. For logo designs, logolounge.com is unmatched. 
Color: Kiwi, poppy orange, Cath Kidston red, turquoise, black & white, and just the right pink.
'Thank You': I never write enough 
Flat note or folded: Folded as a habit, but I'm thinking flat is a bit classier (since you ask)! 
Handwritten or emailed: Handwritten is priceless, but e-mailed is better than nothing and often completely appropriate.
Stationery: Custom is cool. 
Organization: Drawers, bins, slots, containers and more drawers. I can never get enough of vintage parts cabinets. Old suitcases for vintage papers.
Book: Mine, once I write it. An inspirational crossover between graphic design and crafting/DIY.
Magazine: I really miss Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion. As a graphic designer, I feed off of Print and HOW Design's annuals.
Planning: Daily inspiring blog posts, client projects, finding the perfect wonderful paying projects to put three kids through college.
Business: Logo design by trade, inspirational blogging by passion.

We absolutely love all the bins, big and small, that organize everything, as well as the charming little details and fresh, soothing colors. Thank you, Cathe, for sharing your desk with us! 

Do you have a darling desk? We are currently looking for bloggers/designers/stationers extraordinaire to highlight in our "Desk" feature. Email us at whitneyenglish@yahoo.com if you'd like to share a photo of your desk with us, or to suggest other blog topics and ideas. As always, you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter to get updates on new designs, warehouse sales, and industry events.

Every once in a while, you cross paths with someone and just... fall in love.  Maybe not love love, but you become life-long friends, mutual admirers and encouragers. They inspire you, continuing to do so the longer and better you get to know them. Their work just fascinates you, impresses you, awes you every time.  We're in love with a photographer (several, actually), and her name is Mika Beth Edwards.  

We are always in need of photographs around here; primarily, we use them as samples for our photo cards, but they also inspire us through color, pattern, setting, occasions and subjects. We love looking at the photographs that customers send in with their orders, especially of the little kids and families. Last November, we knew we would need photographs to use with the new designs for 2009. Instead of using pictures of our friends and family, as we have in years past, we called upon our blog readers to submit pictures. There were a few stipulations (submitters had to hold the rights to the photograph and allow us to reproduce any selected pictures, the photos had to meet quality criteria, and had to be appropriate), but anyone whose pictures were selected won a gift certificate for our photo cards. Pretty cool, right? Lots of people submitted pictures, and we used as many as we could. This is where Mika Beth comes in to our lives. She sent us the following pictures:

How could we not fall in love with the vibrant, rich colors, the clarity, and the patterns? Simply beautiful!! We had to know more, see more, so we visited Mika Beth's website, which consists of galleries of her photographs (divided into portrait and senior categories), Bebe and Beau (a boutique with which she is affiliated), and her blog (where she showcases recent photo shoots). The business is run by Mika Beth and her husband (she takes the pictures, and he does the books), and her passion for her vocation and subjects shines through. We asked her for more pictures, to use or inspire us or simply to look at, and she sent us TONS! Here's a sampling of her work:

These family pictures are wonderful for framing on the wall, preserving in an album or scrapbook or sending out to family and friends on a photo card.

These portraits are all amazing! Some of them are senior pictures, capturing youthfulness on the verge of adulthood, while others are pictures of children in all their beauty. Her attention to detail--blades of grass or leaves in the background, a twinkle in an eye--is stunning, and the colors perfectly accentuate the subjects. And the subjects' emotions--playfulness, independence, innocence, love, peace, joy, strength--all shine through. Simply wonderful work!

Oh, the babies. Mika Beth seems to have a true passion for photographing toddlers, babies, infants, and newborns (especially fresh from the hospital newborns). She captures their innocence and beauty, their personalities (because those are already starting to come through), their sweetness and serenity. They are all so beautiful, and her lens does them justice. Mika Beth, these babies make us smile.

So, why have we introduced you readers to Mika Beth? First, she is a talented photographer whose works should be enjoyed by many and not kept hidden away. Anyone near Arkansas should give her (or her husband) a call to set up something. Second, to show the value and power of photography at capturing and preserving moments. Whether you hire a professional or not, take some family pictures; you will want them down the road. Third, to show how photographs, people or events in life (births, birthdays, graduations, weddings, etc) can provide inspiration. Is a loved one graduating soon? Getting married? Having a baby? Turning four? Are you stumped on how to celebrate these events? Over the next week or two, we'll take a couple of these pictures and use them as inspiration pieces for choosing stationery and invitations. So please, come back next week for more.

This week's Desk post is a double-feature, showcasing the workspaces of Melissa and Liz, the two owners/designers of Sweet Funky Vintage, a children's clothing company. As owners and designers, Melissa and Liz need large, organized workspaces to keep up with the demands of business, as well as inspiring colorful spaces. Because their offices are separate, they told us separately about their spaces and sent in lots of colorful, charming pictures (with amusing captions). Here is what Melissa shared with us:

The Desk: A bar-height table so I can work comfortably sitting down or standing up. 
Chair: A $14 bar stool from Ikea decorated with an evolving decoupage of my favorite favorite fabric swatches - I add to it each season.
Paper: Legal pads and scraps of paper. I re-use all sorts of paper to try to be somewhat earth-friendly! 
Calendar: From paper source - love it! 
Clock: My studio manager, Jayne, requested a clock for the longest time, I finally broke down and bought her one! 
Inspiration: My new inspiration window is an antique window that I have had for years. It was from my Aunt and Uncle's home in Georgia, so I have some sentimental attachment to it. It has lost all but one of its panes of glass. I filled the open spaces with fabric covered cork and left the remaining glass as a "dry-erase" board. I have hung the window above my desk and I post important and inspiring things to it. 
Color: Lots of pink! 
'Thank You': I have a collection of thank you notes and try my best to remember to always say thank you! 
Flat note or folded: Both 
Handwritten or emailed: Handwritten 
Stationery: The Polka Dot Press, The Paper Princess, and Whitney English 
Organization: A constantly evolving process; I am always trying out new ways to be more organized, stream-lined and efficient.
Book: The Bible.
Magazine: "Where Women Create", "Country Living" and "Southern Living"
Planning: My business partner, Liz, and I live on opposite ends of the country, so we plan by conference call A LOT, but we try to meet somewhere and have marathon planning sessions at least four times per year.
Business: Sweet Funky Vintage, a children's clothing trunk show company. We celebrate individuality and creativity so much, our trunk show customers can design their own custom children's clothing. We also offer our designs for purchase through our website. All of our high quality clothing is handmade in the United States. Best of all - our social mission invites our customers to join with us to support women and children in our communities and across the nation.

 

Now, let's see what Liz had to say:

The Desk: A counter-height cutting table from Joann's, not fancy but functional. My other desk is anywhere I can carry my laptop: swim practice, the back porch, the car, etc. 
Chair: Who sits down? 
Paper: Yes, please, and lots of it! I am a list maker. Post its are indispensable. 
Calendar: I have two. One is a planner from Borders; I am always in search of the perfect planner (so constantly changing, but this one works for now). The other is a spiral-bound undated from Paper Source where I can plan out my week's "to do" in the studio. 
Clock: pink face Tag Heuer on my wrist 
Charging: Various places... there's already too much electrical stuff in the studio. 
Inspiration: The fabrics! They speak, I listen. 
Color: Yes, color. I am a color girl. The first thing I do in a new house is PAINT! I love orange, pink, lime and turquoise. 
'Thank You': My grandmother always taught me to thank a giver in person, but if they are not present, a thank you MUST be written promptly. 
Flat note or folded: Flat! I love the simplicity of a flat card. 
Handwritten or emailed: Handwritten, no question 
Stationery: I must admit, I'm a stationery ho. Anything cute, and it doesn't have to be actual stationery. I just saw Whitney's recipe cards in a local entertaining store that carries our aprons, and I am COVETING them... nevermind that I don't have time to transfer the actual recipes OR cook them! Seriously, Whitney English of course as well as The Polka Dot Press, Target, Tiny Prints and whoever strikes my fancy. 
Organization: YES! The studio collapses into chaos in the middle of every season, but for the most part is pretty organized. I can't pack on an unmade bed or work in a chaotic environment. 
Book: I am looking forward to reading the big stack on my nightstand on vacation. Historical fiction, James Patterson, nutrition and fitness, and any magazine I can get my hands on!
Magazine: (my preferred reading material) I regularly read Self, Real Simple, Oprah and More; I often pick up Southern Living, Country Living, Sew Hip, Shape, Body and Soul, Martha Stewart... I could go on...
Planning: My partner Missy and I try and get together several times a year to long-range plan for Sweet Funky Vintage. Our best planning sessions are over a glass of wine and a good meal! We are on the phone daily planning advertising, catalog layout, fabrics for the next few seasons... you name it. The planning never ends, it seems. 
Business: Missy and I started Sweet Funky Vintage two years ago. It is amazing how far we have come. We love our customers and they love us. "Celebrating Creativity" is our new tag line and describes our line perfectly... we love to watch our customers (mothers and daughters) plan outfits together and see what they come up with. The business is constantly evolving and surprises us at every turn. I don't think either of us could have imagined (though we hoped) that Sweet Funky Vintage would be where it is so quickly. This season we have a catalog in the works!

Thank you both for opening your offices and desks to us! They are full of fabric, color and inspiration (not to mention coffee and chocolate--mind if we stop by?), and we absolutely love them!

Do you have a darling desk? We are currently looking for bloggers/designers/stationers extraordinaire to highlight in our "Desk" feature. Email us at whitneyenglish@yahoo.com if you'd like to share a photo of your desk with us, or to suggest other blog topics and ideas. As always, you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter to get updates on new designs, warehouse sales, and industry events.

During one of the few slow moments we had at the show, we managed to take some pictures of our new products as displayed in our booth:

 

 

Following the pictures clockwise from the top left (which is like walking around our aisle-side table), you can see our coasters, our match boxes, our signature candle with its box and our note pads. 

The patterns for our Classic Collection were carefully selected to coordinate with lasting home interior trends, and we focused on creating a collection of matching gift items that can be given in a variety of combinations for practically any occasion. We also hoped to make these gifts feel personalized without the high cost of customized products, and we achieved that by preprinting initials on the product. We are quite happy with how the collection turned out, and we hope you enjoy it too! The coasters and note pads are now on our shelves and available for purchase; to order them, please contact your sales rep or one of our retailers. We are still waiting on the matches and candles, as well as working diligently to upload all of our new products to our website.

For all of you who stopped by to see us at the show, we hope you enjoyed seeing up close all of the exciting new products we have to offer. If you are a retailer and were unable to attend the show but would like more information on these products and regular news updates from us, please contact us for more information or sign up for our newsletter (we promise, we won't spam you or sell your information). Keep checking back, here, as well for updates on when these new products will be available and on our site. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Special thanks goes out to Janet, our National Sales Manager, for taking these wonderful pictures!

This week's featured Desk is that of Erin Conrad, an Oklahoma-based photographer. Her skill can be seen on her blog, where she posts pictures from recent shoots and opens up about her work, her clients and life in general. The blog showcases her work while providing insight into a photographer's mind, and these photographs of her office continue to provide insight. She is fun-loving (as seen in the treasure hunt dashes and "x" and tape dispenser), organized (ribbons on a pole, books straightened, pillows stacked), practical (multipurpose bookcase and clipboards as inspiration boards) and creative (what in that room doesn't fuel creativity?)... and here's what she had to say about her desk:

The Desk: Pottery Barn for my birthday a few years back. It works so perfectly.
Chair: Target. Seriously, I love Target.
Paper: So much paper I had to buy a desk to organize it all. I like to scrapbook as a hobby.
Calendar: On my blackberry.
Clock: Also on my blackberry. I think I'm boring now that I write all this out!
Charging: I wish I could plug myself into one of the bajillion cords we have in this house and get a full battery of energy. It doesn't work that way? Boo.
Other Details: The dashes--seen traveling around the window from a cluster of pictures to my changeable inspiration clipboards--are vinyl wall art and can be removed at any time, which means no commitment or repainting; for now, though they make me smile. My bookcase is another favorite feature; when we redid the room, we couldn't find a bookcase within our budget that matched the desk... so my husband designed and built it! I have the coolest and sturdiest bookcase ever!
Inspiration: Thunderstorms, hope, phone calls with Whitney Ann, weekends with Karmen, flickr, polaroids, Dwelling Spaces, live music, OU football, my dad whistling songs, my daily blog reads, singing the national anthem and traveling the globe.
Color: Green. It's always been you, green. I'd like to be one of those people that like every color too much to have a favoroite, but I can't. I'm loyal to my calming, refreshing yet energetic green.
'Thank You': Should always be said and written.
Flat note or folded: Lovin' the flat these days.
Handwritten or emailed: Both are good, but a handwritten thank you or I love you reminds you that maybe life isn't too busy for the little things.
Stationery: Uh, Whitney English, of course. And Target.
Organization: There can never be enough. I make lots of lists.
Book: Favorite is Tale of Two Cities and, of course, Harry Potter, but I just read The Road by Cormac McCarthy and would highly recommend it. It's one of my top faves now.
Magazine: I have to confess I find most of my inspiration online, although I love my catalogues (especially Anthropologie for their amazing photographs). And when I travel, give me People and I'm set.
Planning: On always taking pictures that tell a story. And swimming in my parent's new pool this summer.
Business: To capture your soul and tell your story.

Erin, we love your office... thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Do you have a darling desk? We are currently looking for bloggers/designers/stationers extraordinaire to highlight in our "Desk" feature. Email us at whitneyenglish@yahoo.com if you'd like to share a photo of your desk with us, or to suggest other blog topics and ideas. As always, you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter to get updates on new designs, warehouse sales, and industry events.

Please excuse the delay in updates... we've been settling back in after the National Stationery Show, and updating fell from the top of our list.  

THE CLASSIC COLLECTION

Allow us to introduce the Classic Collection:

The definition of classic varies, depending on whom you ask and what is being discussed. Generally speaking, the terms time-tested, enduring, fundamental and traditional all apply. For our Classic Collection, we chose patterns that we believe will endure and outlast momentary trends as well as speak to a wide variety of people. Some of these patterns are brand new, debuting in this release (if you've been following this week, you've already seen versions of them), while others are adaptations of our bestselling patterns. We preprinted each note card in the Classic Collection with an initial, providing a touch of personalization without the cost of customized stationery. There are twenty four note cards in the Classic Collection. With all letters, except Q and X, almost everyone's initial is included. For our retailers, we also offer a twenty-four spot spinner to hold all the letters (the standard spinner is still available).

We also took our Classic Collection one step, or rather four steps, further. We expanded our inventory selection to include several new products, and they are:

    

We now offer: mini note pads (four inches by four inches, gummed and with an initial preprinted in the lower right corner), coasters (slightly smaller than the note pads, but with rounded corners and the initial centered), match boxes with colored-tip matches, and a candle with our signature scent (a crisp, clean scent with citrus notes, herb references and a hint of florals). The note pads, coasters and match boxes are all available in complementing pattern/initial combinations, allowing your home or office to be completely coordinated. The continuity of patterns with initials makes it simple to pull together a personalized gift set--for example, note card, match box and candle--for almost anyone and every occasion.

We are truly excited about our Classic Collection and hope you are too! As with the other sneak peek items this week, these are not yet up on the website, but we are working putting them up there. Please keep checking back here, and we will let you know when all of our new release is on the website and available for purchase. Until then, have a wonderful day, enjoy this long holiday weekend, and go celebrate!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the very last day of the National Stationery Show (today was the last full day). We loved meeting all of you, putting faces to names and sharing our new products; thank you so much for coming out and seeing us!  For those of you able to attend tomorrow, do stop by our booths (3408-3412) to check out our new patterns, designs, and products.

Leave us a comment and let us know which note card here is your favorite (it really does matter to us). Have a fabulous day, and go celebrate something!

It's spring again, and that means things are changing. We are cleaning up the warehouse, rearranging the office and getting everything ready for a fresh start. While some of our old favorite patterns are disappearing into retirement, we are elated and excited about our new release. We've been working on it for months and have been anticipating its release at the show and on our website. For those of you able to attend the National Stationery Show, we highly recommend that you stop by our booths (3408-3412) to check out our new patterns, designs, and products; we would truly love to see you and show you everything new. For those of you unable to attend, we will be highlighting some of these new products this week. Stay tuned for more!
