We’re back and finally getting through shipping all of the orders from this year’s National Stationery Show and are excited to share some photos from The Year of Party that we hosted with our friends from Dabney Lee and Rock Paper Scissors.  We had a blast previewing our new collections while sipping bubbly and loved seeing some of our favorite stores before the show started including Therese St. Clair, Sweet Paper,  Lee’s Specialty and Judy Paulen Designs – and we loved meeting new stores too! We hope you loved seeing what’s new from each of us and look forward to continuing to bring bright and shiny new and old favorites to the market!

We do hope you’ll stop by Booth 2144-2146 to see everything that’s new at the Nationals Stationery Show from May 19 – 22 at the Javits Center in NYC.  See our mailers below for a sneak peek or come follow us on Instagram at @hautepapier for a plethora of photos giving you the inside scoop!

We were excited to open the Washington Post Express today and see our Haute Box stationery subscription service listed as one of their favorite new things!

Happy Note Writing!

Dying Easter eggs has always been an important family tradition in the Meyer house and as the children who used to guard their mugs of eggs soaking until they couldn’t get any more color got older, the tradition has evolved with each of us celebrating the holiday with our own new traditions.  This year I decided to try a new take on the annual craft and was so excited to come across this super DIY tutorial for foiling eggs.  The process is actually pretty simple – especially if you’ve worked with gold gilding sheets in the past.  I found the eggs took the size (the glue for foil sheets) much better at room temperature.  Pics of my project after the jump.  Happy Easter!

Last Friday we surprised Haute Papier’s Vendor Coordinator Julie with a surprise shower in celebration of her upcoming wedding.  I’m a sucker for scheming to keep a surprise, and we managed to do it!  With help from our spouses we had mini-margaritas in Patron bottles inspired by one of the most innovative caterers out there – Peter Callahan along with tea sandwiches and custom monogrammed cupcakes from DC’s very own Georgetown Cupcake.   Cheers to Julie & Skelly and their upcoming nuptials!

We’re thrilled to introduce to you Haute Papier’s newest and most exciting, exclusive, carefully curated, perfectly packaged… (are you feeling special yet?!)… Haute Box!

We hope our enthusiasm oozes off this web page!  We just can’t wait to ship the first full boxes to the week of April first.  Mark your calendars now!  You’re not going to want to miss out on the fun!

I wish I could say I just got back from a great weekend in Austin, but that wouldn’t be the truth!  It’s actually been months since I visited the great state of Texas where yes, everything is just bigger.  It was a quick weekend visit to see the hubby who was working out there for a while and then due to the hurricane in DC, I had to catch an even earlier flight home before the storm.  Below are some of my favorite examples of the clearly defined branding that flocked building all around the city.

AND it wouldn’t be a trip to Austin without some serious tacos (including a visit to the trailer park for queso), new (to me) cowboy boots and a visit to the underside of the bridge that fills with bats… only during the day!

Happy Holidays from Haute Papier – see you in 2013!
