open house recap

Our Open House was a huge success! Lots of people came out for the event and made all of the planning well worth it! Customers seemed to have had lots of fun and enjoyed the 20% discount on holiday merchandise by stocking up on gift items, greeting cards, ribbon, stationery, and wrap!

Guest vendors the FOUND and Kate Funk made the day extra fun! Albert from the FOUND brought tons of old photos and assisted people in making their own one of a kind greeting cards. He also inspired lots of customers to do the same with their old photos at home. It was too cute. And we loved the free buttons!




Kate Funk was all set up with a nice display of her new styles. Customers really enjoyed meeting Kate and learning that she lives right here in Milwaukee. It was so nice for customers to put a face to the products that they are buying. And AC even made his special guest appearance as promised!



Debi from The Blooming Quill was a huge hit too! Lots of people took advantage of Debi's amazing talent. And many watched in awe as she did her calligraphy magic. Debi truly was the icing on the cake!


I hope everyone had just as good of a time as I did! Between the discount, demos, appearances, treats, and photos, I am certain everyone had a great time! I am counting the days until our next event (which will be the day after Thanksgiving- more details to come)!



All in all, it was a great event! Thank you to all of our customers who came out and a huge thanks to the FOUND, Kate Funk, and The Blooming Quill!

Another very special guest that will be at our Holiday Open House is Kate Funk. Kate lives right here in Milwaukee and actually used to be an employee of Broadway Paper! Kate has a really funny line of cat cards and a cat calendar. AC is about three years old and she got him from a no-kill shelter in Milwaukee when he was just a kitten. Little did he know then that he would be a cat model later in life! And a good one at that!




Kate will be here all day on Saturday, November 14th, displaying all of her latest designs. AC will also make a special appearance at 1pm. And the rumor is... he might be also available for some signings! Some of Kate's cards can also be found on our webstore.


We're so excited for Kate and AC to be here. I can hardly wait to meet AC in person. Although, it seems as if he is a bit nervous about his debut. It seems as if he is having a hard time picking out what to wear for his big day... You can read more about that story here. AC will see you Saturday!

Join us from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. for a day filled with holiday inspiration, promotions, festive demos with free samples, and multiple giveaways! We have lots of things planned for the day! So many things that I can't keep it all straight... I'm so excited!


A few of our favorite vendors will be here, so you'll get the chance to meet the people behind the magic. Kate Funk will be displaying all of her latest holiday designs and her cat, AC, will make a special appearance at 1pm. the FOUND will be here all day and you'll have a chance create your own one of a kind card with them. The Blooming Quill will be here showing off her amazing calligraphy skills. We'll also have a photo booth from Celebrations Entertainment in the afternoon.

If that's not enough... we'll also be having multiple giveaways throughout the day. We'll be giving away product from Compendium, Simple Song, Snow & Graham, Table Topics and many more vendors! I'm a little disappointed I cant win anything! Maybe I'll enter under an alias (just kidding)!
