Ilee's calendar

Ilee's calendars are letterpress and silkscreen making a beautiful piece of art for your desk!  Pickle Papers is one of the fortunate shops to have the 2012 Ilee calendar.

More calendars - another favorite!  Some like 12 Muses some like Birds & Blooms - it's your choice.  You can't go wrong if you are looking for a great gift for your art-loving friend - either one would be a hit!

Rifle Paper Co.

Yesterday was Snow & Graham's calendars and today I want you to see the wonderful calendars from Rifle Paper Co.  Anna Bond's talent is amazing and her art work makes me happy!   Pickle Papers also has journals, notecards and stationery designed by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co.

Snow & Graham calendars are one of my favorites - 2012 will give you five choices from large wall to a darling little tiny calendar for the desk. 

ALPHABET PAPER TAPE

We've been waiting for weeks,yea even months for the new Cavallini alphabet paper tape.  Many of you have been playing with the number tape for sometime and now the pickle has the LETTERS!  Five different rolls of fun letters for the creative you!  

world's smallest postal service

Artist Lea Redmond began her miniature postal service in 2008 and I found her on a web site by just good fortune.   Loving tiny anything I was taken by her darling little letters she would write for a minium few dollars.  She has now designed a kit and one can write their own tiny little letters using tiny little papers and stamps etc. and put into a tiny little postal box.  Not everyone is going to "get it" but those of us who do will want it!   Drop by the pickle and take a look at the little kit - just in.

HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW?

At the pickle you'll find lots 'o pups!  

 All darling and just waiting for a home!

 Don't you just love 'em?



Get creative using fun new tapes!

Have you seen the new tapes popping up every where?  The Japanese washi tapes are masking tape with printed images and designs and can be used for most anything creative.  Packaging tapes with designs are fun too but used more on packages to add a fun touch to shipping.  Just let your creative juices flow!  We have several tapes at the pickle with more on the way.

Fashionable reuseable bags

Not all reusable bags are created equally.  In fact some are down right ugly!   If you are doing something  good for the environment why not be fashionable at the same time by carrying an Envirosax bag.  Did you know that over 380 billion plastic bags are used per year by us human beings - now I have not done the math but that is allot of bags per person!   The Envirosax unrolled measures 19.5" x 16.5" weighing 1.4 oz. and can carry up to 44 lbs.; rolled up measures only 4" x 1.5" - I see this little light weight bag doing allot of good not to mention adding color and nice images to the world.  We have just received several new designs at the pickle and hope you'll drop by and take a look.

LOVELY NEW PAPERS FROM ACROSS THE SEA

Several 20" x 30" sheets of new papers from across the sea arrived yesterday and you ask, "what do you do with all those beautiful papers" and I respond,  "line an envelope, cover a box, make a book, frame it for heavens sake or maybe make a paper bouquet for a friend for an amazing gift!"

NEED A CROWN?

I decided long ago that every woman longs to wear a crown.  Queen or not we still would like a crown!   Birthday, celebration or just the proclamation of queenliness the pickle has a crown for you.

Compendium boxed notes

Compendium products are a favortie at the pickle. The company cares and it is obvious in their greeting cards, jounals, boxed notes and books. I'm not sure how their employees do it but they just are able to design and write the perfect! The boxed notes are the latest arrival and I'm certain you will like the images and colors chosen.

Forest Gnomie Dolls

Darling gnomie dolls hand stiched and embroidered with amazing detail. The dolls are inspired by Elsa Beskow's books. And you will be happy to know Pickle Papers has several of Miss Elsa Beskow's books displayed in our children's book area. Each doll is a treasure and you might want to begin a collection.

Emily Post Wedding Albums

The pickle is so excited to be offering the new Emily Post wedding albums!
Design and quality is grand and the prices are a pleasant surprise.

PAPAYA POUCHES!

Just in! 10" x 5" 2" oil cloth pouches with popular papaya designs. Great gift for your best friend or maybe a special gift for self!

Susie Gahahamenie is an amazing artist - i love her owls! Her new notcard set has owls, peacocks, hummingbirds and a toucan along with fun feather stickers! The notecards are die-cut and foldable to stand upright - how much fun is that? Also new at the pickle are Susie's journals and a special travel journal.

Don't you just LOVE cupcakes? With the cupcake kit your yummy cupcakes will look yummy too! 200 liners with fun designs and 34 flags to match as well as recipes and ideas to make your cupcake a hit!

French fashion designer,Christian Lacroix - welcome to the world of paper

Now you can have a Christian Lacroix design of your own! Albeit not of fabric but of paper - still the beauty and uniqueness is amazing. Mr. Lacroix's designs on journals and boxed notes are new at the pickle and we are pleased to have a few pieces of this beautiful line.

mighty strong mighty thin mighty green

Mighty wallets are made of Tyvek - basiclly indestructible fabric used in building constuction. The pickle just received a shipment with the lastest designs - you're gonna love 'em. I'm not sure of my favorite but I really do love Mighty Mouse because it reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons many many years ago.

Fringe Studio is a new line of gifts at the pickle and I think it is going to be a nice addition to our existing lines. Large and small stationery sets, decorative glassware, journals, boxed notes - all in lovely spring colors to make us all happy!

HANDMADE WEDDINGS - great book of ideas!

New book written by Hello Lucky folks is amazing! At least 50 brilliant idea for your wedding or party of your choosing. Rarely can I say I love a book of this type but I can say "I love it" loud and clear!

Don't you just love a fresh blank journal? Anticipating making that first entry is rather exciting yet all that blank space can be a bit intimidating.
It may take a few moments but the best thing to do is just do it! I have several favorite jouranls here at the pickle and one of those favorites is the Moleskine. It has so much history, great paper and all the new colors are just the best.

New papers are coming in most every day. A wrapped gift in one of the pickle's beautiful papers is such treat to receive. You may think you can't wrap - yes you can! And if you need a little guidance just ask. A simple bow on a beautiful paper says I really really care!

PAPAYA

Having Papaya line of art

at Pickle Papers is a special treat! Greeting cards, Love Letter tags, journals, files, and tins full of postcards are a few of the many! Of course the 2011 calendars are long gone but we are looking forward to having 2012 as soon as they are available. Papaya's journals are rather personal in design and if you happen to be searching for a new journal I think one of the new ones from Papaya may be the one for you.

Amy Rice - new to the pickle!

You know I am a card snoot and am quite particular about the card lines coming into the pickle! Amy Rice's cards are being welcomed with open arms and I do hope as you see her cards you will feel the same. She is an amazing artist and although I have not met her personally I just know she is a nice person too. Her colors, images,and messages are nostalgic in a very pleasant sort of way.

Oh I can hardly wait for you to drop by and take a look at Amy's cards - I just know you will love 'em too!

Fun new cat stickers from Linnea

I love the new cat stickers from Linnea. 96 stickers (two each of 48 designs) to use on your envelopes to make your letters more fun; your postal person will smile.

"NEW FUN" coming to the pickle!

Retuning home today from market and I can hardly wait for the shipments to begin coming in. I think you all will be happy to see the "new fun" popping in over the next few weeks. New card lines, new glass things that will totally surprise you, of course ribbon, fun medals of honour, several new journals and the list goes on! I'll post as the "new fun" begins to come in to encourage you to drop by the pickle.

I am so excited about the new Love Letter Tags from Papaya! I have wanted these tags for years and finally the pickle has the tags; you're gonna love 'em! All the letters - A to Z - and a star and a heart complete the set;they have glitter and a ribbon for tying on packages or whatever. I can hardly wait for you to see them.

Valentine's Day is one of my favorites! Who doesn't love red and pink? The pickle has everything for your valentine from candy to glitter.
