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.

The Louie Awards - 2011

We are excited to represent the Greeting Card Association in the Louie Award judging again this year!  Sarah has participated for the last two years and this year Erin was honored to be asked to join a great group of judges.  Take a peak at the awesome, circus inspired invitation suite sent out late last year.  It was, of course, fabulous and we just adored the added touch the cut out elephant created.  Who would expect anything less from the Greeting Card Association which represents the stationery industry and the best of the best of greeting cards, invitations and more!  This festive time of year in the stationery industry culminates at a the annual Louie Awards - an evening of fun and networking during the National Stationery Show!

Emily's Favorite Holiday Things!

With the Christmas music blaring (Pandora Mariah Carey Holiday, anyone?), Haute Papier is in full holiday gear! It's Santa's workshop over here, and us elves are working away to ship orders out before the holidays! Even amidst the chaos of boxes stacked to the ceiling, I still remember why I love this time of year. Can't wait to enjoy a few of my favorite things very soon :) Wishing everyone a very merry holiday!
