I've been loving the weekly installments of Jay Roeder's "Juicy" by Notorious B.I.G. lyrical typography drawings. Roeder is self-described as addicted to "drawing letters, lyrics, and random stuff." These posters really bring me back to my school days - driving around with my gals, listening to awesome music, talking about boys and generally being too cool! The "Juicy" posters represent one line of the rap, posted each Friday to Roeder's blog, until the lyrics run out. Can't wait until Friday? Check out some of Roeder's other super creative posters!
Hot off the Press : New Year's Card
We are just completely smitten with the gold and silver foil we did on this Happy New Year card for one of our fabulous vendors in NYC. I especially can't stop looking at the silver snowflakes on the shimmery charcoal envelopes! Foil stamping is so in right now and we think it's perfect for the upcoming wedding season too!!! xoxo
Menage Fine Stationery & Gifts
Menage Fine Stationery & Gifts is a quaint store for all your stationery needs. It has been in business as long as us here at Haute Papier (five years)! Dixie and the ladies at Menage work hard to supply Memphis with their desires in the world of stationery. I just had to ask her more!!
How many years have you been in business? 5 years in June
Do you have a website, if so, what's the address? www.menagestationery.com
If you were to sell something other than stationery, what would it be? We are already a gift and stationery store...a regular destination for our gift giving friends! We have a unique gift wrap that they all seam to love, but if I could add another dimension it might be to add more in the way of calligraphy supplies and perhaps a few office/desk inspired antiques.
Besides the obvious (stationery), what is your favorite thing to give as a hostess gift? Wine related gifts, cocktail napkins, vases, cheese knives.
Here at Haute Papier, we love to eat! When in NYC for the National Stationery Show, where is your favorite place to grab dinner? My philosophy is NEVER eat anywhere you can eat at home! I love to seek out neighborhood restaurants. One of my recent successes was wild Ginger, 380 Broome St., New York, NY 10013 - a very reasonably priced vegetarian stop in Soho.
Any other tidbits about your store you'd like to share? We opened our doors almost 5 years ago less than a mile from another well established Memphis paper store in the heart of East Memphis. So we have never had Crane or William Arthur! We have steadily carved our niche in the beautiful world of letterpress.
Season's Greetings from Haute Papier!
http://vimeo.com/33934085 And we're off! Haute Papier will be back at work on January 2nd. Until then, we wish you and your loved ones a very merry holiday season! Thanks for making 2011 our best year yet!
Papers + Presents
Papers + Presents is an adorable store in Wellesley, Massachusetts! Carolyn McCoy had an eye for stationery at a young age! Thanks to the inspiration from hometown store in Virginia, Carolyn established a store all her own years later. Papers + Presents is a unique and trendy place to pick up some gifts or just find goodies for yourself. Here at Haute Papier we just had to find out more from Carolyn.
How many years have you been in business? I started my business 23 years ago. Wow!
Do you have a website, if so, what's the address? www.paperspresents.com (on the verge of debuting our new site - with our fresh new look. stay tuned!)
If you were to sell something other than stationery, what would it be? If I didn't have the shop, I think it would be fun to have a cool restaurant.
Besides the obvious (stationery ), what is your favorite thing to give as a hostess gift? For hostess gifts, if i don't give stationery, I like to give a nice bottle of wine (with a darling, custom hang tag!) or a jar of nam's bits (again with my custom label - xoxo, carolyn + tim)
Here at Haute Papier, we love to eat! When in NYC for the National Stationery Show, where is your favorite place to grab dinner? For eats in NYC - Cipriani and Buddakan are faves. YUM!!!
Any other tidbits about your store you'd like to share? We just renovated our store. Having been in this space for 12+ years, we felt it needed a little lovin'. I am really happy with the renovation. Come visit if you are in the Boston area.
