It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The weather outside is cold, it hasn't yet snowed this season and Christmas is a little over a month away! And we're ready for it anyway!

Sarah B. is continually in transition...

The lights are up, the trees are decorated and more new things continue to roll in!

Some of our newest highlights include:

Candles and diffusers from Aquiesse... not only are they made in the US, but they are wonderful scents that smell great as a combination. I want one of each! The products include:

• diffusers
• small and large soy candles
• french jar candles
• votives and travel tins
  

Our newest Bobo Wrapping Scarves have arrived! They are made in the US, are eco-friendly because they eliminate waste since they can be reused and they joined the Madison News local during a Dane Buy Local segment...

Before we made it look all nice and pretty, you can still see the beauty of the wraps in the box.

The beauty on display!

 

 

New Stationery from Cheree Berry:

 

New stationery from St. Augustine's:

And last, but not least, we recently got in these REALLY COOL (!) totes. They are made of recycled newspapers and magazines and are cut, laminated and sewn into a tote. Since they're laminated, you can spill anything you like in or on your bag and not have to worry. And best of all, they're made in the US!!!

We hope you enjoy some of these great holiday offerings. Happy Thanksgiving! And shop your hearts out on Black Friday!

Environmentally Friendly Wrap

As you may know, part of what keeps us busy each year is finding new products. In order to assist in that process each year is the National Stationery Show in New York. Now, this is one of our favorite things in which to participate. The energy in the Jacob Javits Center is palpable, each vendor trying to find new products to fit their stores... it's wonderful!

Well, each year when we go, we have a list of different merchandise that we need to be on the lookout for. Inevitably, we come home with more than we needed to begin with, but that's beside the point. This year, we found a really wonderful product. As you may be able to tell, wrapping gifts is one of our favorite things to do. A couple of years ago we went to London of all places to take an afternoon gift wrapping seminar and had a wonderful time! When we were at the show, we found a product called Bobo Wrap. Now, what's different about Bobo Wrap is that it is made of decorative fabric instead of paper! And it's almost easier than wrapping with paper! Something to keep in mind is that it can also be more expensive than the paper, but truly, that is part of the gift! The fabric can be reused many times over and is great for gifts of all different sizes. Here are some examples of a few of the fabrics that we picked up and different ways in which to use them as well as a video of how to wrap them! Since they've been well received, we will not only be adding more colors soon for the holidays, but we also add the larger sizes for further customization. In addition, there is an Instruction brochure that explains the many different ways to wrap!
