Vendor Spotlight- Paces Papers
Haute Papier is excited to feature Paces Papers in Atlanta, Georgia. Paces Papers is an elegant stationery store in the heart of Atlanta. Their wonderful staff can help you find a wide variety of papery and gifts. Jackie Howard, owner extraordinaire, has been in Atlanta for almost forty years and has been supplying multiple generations with their stationery needs! Haute Papier asked Jackie and her ladies some of our favorite questions:
How many years have you been in business? Jackie has owned Paces Papers for 37 years. Store manager, Emmi, has been with Paces Papers for over three years.
If you were to sell something other than stationery, what would it be? I'd love to sell art - run a gallery, or maybe a bakery.
Besides the obvious (stationery), what is your favorite thing to give as a hostess gift? Emmi enjoys giving a bottle of champagne.
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 usually stay with friends so they show me great little places- Brown and Orange in the lower east side are wonderful with a daily changing dinner menu and delicious baked egg skillets for breakfast. Also, Emmi has recently discovered Roberta's Pizza in Brooklyn- yum!!
Any other tidbits about your store you'd like to share? Every once and a while we try to have arts and crafts time, just as a little break. We'll make paper flowers, paper dresses, a new display for the store. Emmi says that it keeps the creative juices flowing-- plus glitter is usually involved-- who could be un-cheered by that?
Welcome Back Students!
Well it's that time of the year again! Haute Papier's youngest friends are headed back to school. Awaiting many of them are boxes of our paper scrap! It's truly a trash to treasure story around here, folks. One of our favorite ways to give back is with pound & pounds of paper scrap donated to area first grade classrooms. We know the budgets can be tight for the little extras in a classroom so we try and bring a smile to student AND their teachers by providing wonder paper scraps for classroom projects throughout the year. Do you know a worthy first grade class? If so, let us know and we'll get a box right out to them! Happy crafting & learning this year, little ones!
Featured in: Mollie Makes!
I was so excited to get a copy of the British publication, Mollie Makes in the mail yesterday featuring the rustic mason jar lanterns we made for my parent's 30th Wedding Anniversary party (see more on the party here, here, and here). The magazine, which by the way is currently running a contest where you can win a subscription (here), is fabulous for craft lovers. The tutorials are thorough and the ideas are fresh and inspiring!
Nuts about Nectar Skin Bar!
Haute Papier recently visited Nectar Skin Bar and to say we're a little gaga is an understatement! We fell completely in love with the ambience - it's calm and romantic wrapped into one soothing locale. Great for a break from all the bridal brainstorming or for your spa services the day of the wedding, Nectar has it all! While you're there, don't forget the groom-to-be! Nectar carries a wide array of wonderful and exclusive products for him and her. Oh! And did I mention that we can walk there in about 5 minutes from our Georgetown studio? Heaven!
