Better late, than never :)
I surprised my husband with a trip to New Orleans the first weekend in February, which happened to be the start of the Mardi Gras celebration in the Crescent City! From fried oysters with brie at Clancy's to Muffulettas at Cochon Butcher to a new retail vendor for Haute Papier in The Stationer New Orleans to macarons and king's cake at Sucre to the irresistible beignets at Cafe du Monde, it was a wonderful glutenous and relaxing trip!

Happy St. Patty's Day!
Now that’s a novel idea! Thank you Martha Stewart!
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the perfect dessert… An Ice Cream Float. Make it just like your mom used to, just substitute a bottle of Guinness for that root beer. Fill a large glass with 2 scoops of your favorite vanilla ice cream, then slowly pour the stout over the ice cream. Enjoy!
"How to" Videos for About.com
It's been a busy day at Haute Papier Leesburg today. We were asked by MonkeySee.com (who we did a bunch of videos for a few years ago) to do a few series of videos for one of their partners, about.com. We shot 24 tutorials on wedding invitations, bridal shower invitations, programs and save-the-dates in one long day! Here are a few pics - we'll be sure to share the videos once they're out.
That's Amore ;)
We're just so excited to share this bit of recent press with you! Our friend, Raina, had such a beautiful wedding (that we were so delighted to design the paperie for) that we just knew it would be featured in a magazine. And while that's so exciting, it means we have to keep the pictures a secret until it's on the newstands! Talk about tough!!!
Here are the spreads from the magazine. Stay tuned next week when we put together an inspiration board based on the stunning styling Raina (of Raina Dawn Events) put together for her special day when she married the man of her dreams!
Congrats Raina & Guy - we're so excited for you! (And a big thank you to Inside Weddings for including us in the article and Christian Oth for the gorgeous photography!)
