Can you believe that, for all intents and purposes, the summer is over?!  The older I get, the more I sound like a cliché {”Where does the time go?”}.  However, the turning of a calendar page does have its perks.  For instance, it’s now time to take advantage of the annual holiday promotions offered by our vendors on custom holiday items ~ greeting cards, photo cards, and invitations.  Your favorites like Crane {including Martha Stewart and kate spade for Crane}, William Arthur, Whitney English, and many others are offering 10-20% off their custom orders.  But don’t wait too long ~ most of these promotions expire at the end of September.  {Be careful ~ if you’re like me, it will be October before you know it!}

We’re simply blushing.  We just learned we were voted by the readers of Metro Magazine, a Raleigh, NC-based magazine, as one of the best stationery stores in the Triangle {Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill} in their annual Metro Bravo reader poll.  Thank you for the Honorable Mention, Metro Magazine readers!
