DON'T FORGET THE TEACHERS!

I am friends with several teachers and they deserve to be praised for the difference they make in so many lives!  The pickle has just received a new card from Curly Girl that would be perfect to give your child's teacher as the end of the school year nears.

NEW SAFARI GREEN LAMY PENS

NYC was wonderful and now home trying to rest a bit; can't wait to show you all the new as it begins to trickle in.  One shipment waiting for me on my return was the new Lamy Safari Green fountain and rollerball pens!  I love them!  

OFF TO NATIONAL STATIONERY SHOW IN NEW YORK!

Off to New York for the National Stationery Show and hope to bring new back to the pickle, especially new stationery from Rifle - I love that company!

Sure to inspire anyone obsessed with paper to create mixed-media art of their own.  With plenty of room for sketching, collaging or writing this guided journal is the 
place to dream big be messy and capture creativity.  Stop by the pickle and take a look at this fun new journal.

Liberty Art Nouveau Notecard Set

Liberty from London has been around longer than all of us!  Wonderful textile designs now in notecard form to make your note extra special; just arrived at the pickle along with journals too.  You're gonna love 'em!

 

Even the most savvy fashionistas have a lot to learn from the "world's most stylish bunny" (Elle).  Fifi Lapin- a spoiled rotten illustrated rabbit and in-demand fashion blogger - knows her couture from her carrots.  Her book just arrived at the pickle and it is rather adoring!   

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Even a stack of empty boxes would have made my Mom happy on Mother's Day!  And I bet most Moms feel the same; just knowing she is loved is the best gift!

Does the shoe fit?

If the shoe fits why not get it for your Mom for Mother's Day?  Lovely Crane & Co. note cards with pink lined envelopes - she will love 'em!

BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful new book, The Art of Instruction, "provides a glimpse into a rich, significant heritage and will enlighten those with interest in art, design, science, or natural history".  I'm thinking this book would be a great Mother's Day gift!

All Mom's deserve a crown!

Don't you think your Mom deserves a crown?  We make them crazy, they make us crazy, but when it's all said and done - Mom's are pretty amazing!  And I can tell you, if my Mom was still on this earth - I would place a crown on her head!

Crane Stationery - great gift for Mom

Still wondering what to give Mom for Mother's Day?  May I suggest a box of Crane & Co. stationery?  100% cotton paper makes writing a joy.  Plain note cards or beautifully engraved stationery would be such a nice gift for Mom; the pickle has much to offer!

Mother's Day - just around the corner

Mother's Day is coming - are you ready?  At Pickle Papers we have boxes and ribbons and tags and cards and oh we even have many things to put in the box that would make your Mom so happy!

Lizard Music by Daniel Pinkwater

The pickle has a great children's book selection and I am always on the search for vintage reprints because I am old and I think every child should read a bit of the past.  One company I appreciate is The New York Review - children's collection.  I am currently reading Lizard Music written and illustrated by the uniquest, Daniel Pinkwarter in 1976.  It is a chapter book your third grader would love, especially your young boy third grader.  Come visit Pickle Papers and see several books published by NYR - not your average 2012 books you find at the big box places!

Alexa Pulitzer

Alexa Pulitzer is an amazing stationery designer and I love her work.  One of my latest favorites is this little note tablet, Royal Couple.  

HANDMADE LEATHER JOURNALS FROM ITALY

If you are looking for a journal with history and one in which to use for writing history you must take a look at our new  leather journals handmade in Italy; paper is glorious and the leather soft  with a leather string for securing.  These journals come in red, chocolate brown and tan.  Oh and edge is hand marbled - what a treasure!

VINTAGE STICKERS - TOO COOL!

I love these new stickers from Cavallini - in fact I took some home last eve to play with but took a nap instead - maybe today I'll decorate an envelope or make a tag or something fun and you will be the first to know!

Happy May Day!

Happy May Day!  Flower sticky notes from Cavallini would be nice if you have no fresh flowers for gifting.

WANT A NEW JOURNAL?

Why not begin May, 2012 with a new journal?  Just a little journal from Cavallini will be a nice beginning; lots of new ones at the pickle!

Retro 51 pens

What could be finer than a nice new brightly shiny colored pen from Retro 51?  These roller ball pens are a pleasure to use and make writing fun!

New from Cavallini - journals, glitter tags, sticky notes, number stamps, paper tape, stickers - all wonderful gifts for self or best friend!  Oh and several new 20" x 30" papers for framing or wrapping.
