What a great concept! Attention all brides-to-be, instead of having to beg, borrow or buy something perfect for your wedding day, you can rent jewelry to go with your perfect dress. Adorn Brides will rent you pieces of fine diamond jewelry for a reasonable price ... they'll ship it to you, along with a mailer to use for shipping back to them after the wedding is over.

Visit Adornbrides.com, and as a little gift from The Paper Shop, Inc., if you use the code: PVUROIU7 at checkout, you'll recieve 10% off your rental fee. You're welcome!

Need some? If you have any etiquette questions on the subjects of wedding invitations (or weddings in general) and/note writing or stationery, just send an e-mail to:

and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Since we're in the middle of the lazy days of summer (in between vacation and trips to the beach, of course), why not get ready for the mad rush of social engagements and responsibilities coming up soon .... We've got our 2010 Filofax refills ready for your book ... post the Galas you already know about and pencil in the trips you're hoping to take.

It's also a great time to come in and order some stationery, so when you receive that unexpected invitation for dinner, you'll be all prepared to write your thank you note the very next morning.
We've got folded notes, correspondence cards and glorious ink colors and monogram styles from which to choose. Now that you've got some time on your hands, come in and spend some time looking at all the choices ... go home and think about it all, and let us help you design something that will be uniquely you!

While you're organizing ... if you have an entire day to devote to cleaning out a closet... take everything out (yes, I said everything!)... put it all on the bed and get a couple of Martha Stewart coat racks to use to hang things .... then take some lavender scented linen wash and wipe down the baseboards and hanging rods ... when was the last time they were cleaned???!!!
Organize as you put everything back.... by color; by item (all day dresses, all pants, etc); or however your brain likes to think of things. You will be soooo happy when you're done. You're welcome!

It's July and here at The Paper Shop we're starting to get ready for the return of all you fortunate people gone for the summer.

Caspari and Crane & Co. have delivered their personalized Holiday card albums ... remember that we offer a 10% discount for any personalized cards ordered before September 30th.

We've also received our Filofax calendar refills for all size binders for 2010.

Come in and see the wonderful new WINTER PARK POSTCARDS & WINTER PARK NOTEPADS.... they are from Lallie, so you know they look contemporary and great.... pink paper with turquoise ink.... background screened with a palm tree and Winter Park printed in turquoise letters. Great to have in the guest room - equally great to take as a house gift!

For those of you who miss the "house dog..." stay tuned... we'll have an announcement in the next 2 weeks.

Enough of all this voyeurism .... Let Michael rest in peace (but keep enjoying his music); let the Anthonys stay out of our lives; let Sarah Palin do her thing ... whatever it may be (we'll find out soon enough).

Get back to living your own life. Have lunch with a friend; pick some roses; read a really good book; write a letter to someone.

If you're starting to see the same invitations circulating around .... come in and check out our new stock from Faux, Ann Scott and Doc Milo...... Faux has some great new designs suitable for all happy occasions, including corporate dinners and events. Ann Scott and Doc Milo have the greatest, sophisticated bridal and baby invitations .... we can print them for you or you can take them home and hand-write or print them yourself!
