Love is in the details…
As we all know.
Especially at a wedding or a party.
Not only do I love the clever, personalized treat bags…
And love the flourishy cupcake icon…
And LOVE the adorable phrase "make marriage seem like a piece of cake".
So fun.
Don’t even think of sending guests home without a beautiful little coffee to go bar.
Mix up a themed, hot, seasonal beverage like:
Cinnamon Cappucino…
Citrus Double Espresso…
or my favorite Spiced Chai-der…
Garnished with a warm donut hole and our tres adorable custom stir sticks.
Done.
Oh. My.
I just love Amaryllis.
They are so elegant, elevated, chic.
Surely these are the last of the season…making them all the more insanely gorgeous.
Trending on every possible tabletop…
Tasting bar…
Petite Sweets bar…
Favor table…

Want.
Candy.
So delicious…
I won’t throw another party without these.
I. Am. In. Love.
Look!
Swoon!
I am quite sure I squealed out loud in glee as I walked into the booth.
Landing in our sweet store soon.
Oh. My.
These are so arriving at our store in a few weeks time.
Silk stripey tie ribbons galore – in every paired hue you can begin to dream of?
Yes please.
To say that SS12 is one of my favorite events of the entire year is a total understatement.
For hours and hours, (or days) on end, we stroll the floors of the prettiest new paper designs that you ever did see.
We marvel over the new thoughtful, whimsical designs, like these good ol’ fashioned delights.
Orders are being placed like hotcakes for all of the season’s brand new albums and designs – just you wait to see what will be rolling in through our door the next few weeks.
Welcome to NYC, and The SS12.
We are stocking up on new lines for wedding and stationery albums…
Paper trends…
Party details…
Hostess gifts…
Holiday inspiration and ideas…
And so much more.

The Renaissance Room at Hotel InterContinental is one of the city’s most elegant ballrooms.
Not one massive crystal chandelier is featured – but five.
Built 1929 as Medinah Athletic Club, Hotel IC not only has three turn of the century ballrooms, but also a most historic pool – the most famous in town – named after the original Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller. He of course was a Club member, and trained for the olympics right here.
