Haute Papier just recently released a round of fabulous new monograms! Here are my picks for the best Summer monogram look (because, of course, we all need seasonal monograms)! Haute Papier monograms can be used to personalize all of our custom products
They Are Finally Here!!
Yippee!!! The 2012 London Olympics are here! Us ladies here at Haute Papier, have been watching the trails and putting in our favorite votes. As the world watches, we'll be watching for our favorite events. After an afternoon of chatting while letter-pressing, I asked some questions to the team. Here are our answers!
Sarah responded with the following.
Which is your favorite sport to watch and why? Gymnastics
What one are you most excited for? I love love love watching the Open Ceremonies to see all of the performances and I love watching the finals of any sport. From rowing to the marathon to the beach volleyball, I've got them all DVR'd!
If you could participate in one sport what would it be and why? I'd say the marathon. Having been a distance runner, it would be the ultimate for me in terms of competing in an Olympic event!
Erin was up next!
Which is your favorite sport to watch and why? Overall I like swimming. The athletic ability of Olympic swimmers is amazing! And the male swimmers have the nicest bodies in all of athletics so that's not too shabby of a reason to tune in :)
What one are you most excited for? I love the opening ceremonies! I love seeing the world come together every four years to celebrate national pride in a positive way. I also can't miss the women's gymnastics finals.
If you could participate in one sport what would it be and why? Probably women's soccer or field hockey. I played both growing up and so the learning curve might not be too terrible!
Purnima your turn.
Which is your favorite sport to watch and why? I would have to agree with Erin and say the swimming!!!
What one are you most excited for? I find all the sports to be wonderful! I am going to stick with swimming.
If you could participate in one sport what would it be and why? I would have to say participating in the floor routines for the gymnastics events!!
Kate, last but not least!
Which is your favorite sport to watch and why? I have a few favorites! If I had to pick one it would be volleyball! I played in high school and it was wonderful to see the teamwork play out!
What one are you most excited for? I love the gymnastics events!! It is unbelievable how they focus and balance on such a small beam. I am just amazed in their strength.
If you could participate in one sport what would it be and why? I would love to participate in the equestrian events! I have no horse riding skills, however I would find it enjoyable learning.
Good luck to all the competitors and we will be routing on the good old USA!
A Peek Inside: Custom Coasters
I love seeing our large work table covered like this! We are packing and shipping out the Custom Coaster Line this week. All the trays are filled with colorful letterpressed samples!! We are very excited for all our vendors to receive them. :)
We love NEON notes!
And for our second installment of our new products, we're excited to share the notecards from our collaboration with Dabney Lee. We're smitten with her snappy patterns and sentiments and just love how they came out once we letterpressed them in the neon colors! If you're in NYC for the National Stationery Show, come see us in Booth #2046 to see them all or if you're not attending this year, send us an email and we'll send you images of all 12 notecard designs (and the coasters - coming tomorrow!).
And we're off!
The prep is done. The trucks are (almost) loaded. Our clothes, accessories, and enthusiasm are packed. We're hitting the road for a week ... it's National Stationery Show time. We can't wait to see all of our wonderful vendors and industry friends. Check back for posts on our exciting week ahead!
