Party Party

Party Party in Fairfield, CT is the one stop shop for every event! Mary Thornton has worked hard for seven years in event planning and in the last year opened a store. Her store offers gifts and stationery for everyone's needs. We had to hear more about Mary and Party Party!!! How many years have you been in business? I have had my shop for 1 year, but my event planning business for 7 years.

Do you have a website, if so, what's the address? My website is www.partypartyfairfield.com.

If you were to sell something other than stationery, what would it be? When I am not selling stationery I love to plan parties, of course!

Besides the obvious (stationery), what is your favorite thing to give as a hostess gift? One of my favorite hostess gifts is a box of Haute Papier letterpress coasters (no kidding!) I also love a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers or linen cocktail napkins.

Here at Haute Papier, we love to eat! When in NYC for the National Stationery Show, where is your favorite place to grab dinner? I am a New Yorker from way back so I have lots of favorites in the Big Apple. Love Balthazar and Union Square Cafe. Santa Fe on the Upper West Side has great Mexican and killer margaritas.

We can't wait to see you in NYC Mary!! Only a few more months until the National Stationery Show!

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.

A Shower For Lauren!

Check out the beautiful pics of a shower for our friend Lauren at Rock Paper Scissor!  Though we wish we could have been there in person we're excited that our ever so popular letterpressed coasters made an appearance.  Thanks ladies for allowing us to be part of the festivities!

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.
