Getting Ready for the NSS

printingWe're sorry for the light posting the last couple of days.  Like so many of the other companies in our industry, we're going at full speed to get ready for the National Stationery Show, which is less than two weeks away.  We leave next Wednesday for New York, so until then, for every item we take off our to do lists, we add two! Erin is out in Leesburg at our second location running Gertrude, our bigger letterpress at full speed on all the things you see in the picture above.  Getting binders ready for our stores, means tons of printing - and on lots of little things you might not have even thought about, like the little ink swatches for the color choice pages.

I'm here in Georgetown trucking away on finalizing the last couple designs for our new Luxe letterpress wedding album.  We can't wait to share pictures of moving Gertrude from Buffalo to Leesburg, but it will have to wait until after the show!  Have a great rainy day!

EXCITING NEWS!

Leesburg It is with great enthusiasm that Haute Papier Collections announces the opening of our second location in Historic Leesburg, Virginia!  Haute Papier Leesburg will be the new home of our beautiful, adopted letterpresses Pearl and Gertrude and have expanded meeting space for meeting with couture clients and planning fabulous workshops!  Then starting in June, Haute Papier Leesburg opens our doors daily to share many of our own letterpressed goodies, as well as, some favorites favorites from fellow printers.

We're excited to move to this gem of a small town!  At 21 Wirt Street, Haute Papier moves into most established addresses in Leesburg.  But don't worry, we've given the space a true face lift - Haute Papier style.  And yes that does mean some purple!  Stay tuned for pictures next week.  We can't wait to see you soon out in Leesburg!

Argentina!

I'm back from an incredible journey in Argentina.  We traversed the country visiting Iguazu Falls, Bariloche and Buenos Aires in search of delicious food, beautiful sights and R&R and found it all.  Here's a little sampling of the photos.  I was obsessed with the empanadas and can't wait to try making them (stay tuned for the recipe) and the architecture (also stay tuned for pics of this).  Enjoy!Argentina
