snow & graham love

I got a wonderful surprise in the mail the other day and I thought I'd share it with you. Our very good friend, Ebony from Snow & Graham, sent us a little care package in the mail. Enclosed was a limited edition notepad with an adorable Snow & Graham pen. I'll be writing in style for the next month!

Thanks Ebony... you're too sweet!

national stationery show

My favorite time of year has come... it's time for The National Stationery Show! It's been such a treat receiving tons of wonderful + beautiful mailings for The Show. I've been collecting them and showing them off to everyone I know (including my 85 year old grandpa).



I'm currently in route to New York (absolutely love in-flight wifi) and believe you me, once I'm there I will be visiting each and everyone of these booths! How could you not? Oh, I'm so excited! Check out our Facebook page for updates while I am in New York for The National Stationery Show.

it's here {national stationery show}!

This weekend I am headed to New York for the most anticipated week of my whole year... The National Stationery Show! Last year was my first year and I've been counting down the days until going again. I just can't wait, it has become quite an obsession of mine over the past few weeks. I've been receiving a ton of really inspirational, exciting, and beautiful mail lately and I'll tell you, it's much better than receiving just bills. So fun!


I am so excited to see many of my favorite companies that we already work with including Smock, Wiley Valentine, Elum, the Found, Hello Lucky, Cavallini, and more + I am very excited to see a few favs that I haven't seen in awhile including BirdDog Press and a. favorite design. Not to mention all of the new companies that are on my list! Looks like I'll be one busy (and sociable) girl!

Here is a little sneak peek at some things that I am super excited for... Linda + Harriett's 2011 calendar, new noteblocks from Crane & Co, coasters by Peggy Wong for Crane & Co, and some new office supply items from Girl of All Work. The list goes on and on and on... New York, here I come!

national geographic

I have some very exciting news to share. . . Broadway Paper is mentioned in National Geographic!

We're mentioned in their April 2010 Smart Traveler edition! I had been getting calls, emails, Facebook messages, tweets about this and I finally picked one up the other day. And yes, all of the rumors are true... we're mentioned (on page 24 to be exact). It felt pretty great checking out at the bookstore, like I had a big secret... and once I got home I just stared at page 24. I couldn't take my eyes off of it!


The National Geographic article talks about what they call The New Industrial Revolution and how certain cities across the country have remade themselves... our neighborhood, Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward, made the cut!


And Broadway Paper also made the cut... National Geographic deems Broadway Paper a mecca for stationery lovers! I'm blushing just writing this... really?!? How honored and thrilled are we!


If you subscribe or you find yourself browsing through National Geographic at your local bookstore, flip to page 24! You'll see for yourself... the words... mecca for stationery lovers...

new cuteness from simplesong

We just received some cute new products from Suann at simplesong.  You might remember I bid on some of her goodies during the NieNie auctions {and speaking of NieNie ... she's back online!!}.

I love, love the camera card ... I just may have to ask Suann to personalize a set for me!

I'm also loving this Valentine's card!  We'll have everything in the web store soon ... but 'til then, I'm thinking we need to see you in person!

baby announcement envy

I think I could be talked into having another baby if this was my baby announcement!  Isn't it precious?  Beyond precious?  Do you see the monkey on the envelope?

This piece is from our Spark Stationery custom album.  All the pieces are beautiful and as an added bonus, the ladies at Spark are absolutely the greatest gals to work with!
