christmas in the ward & santa

Tonight is the night! I've been waiting all year for this event!

Be part of an old fashioned Christmas tree lighting in the heart of Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward beginning at 5pm. Santa is already on his way to the neighborhood and he is bringing live reindeer and pretty fireworks too! There will also be horse carriage rides and a cookie sale. The whole Christmas In The Ward line-up can be found here.


And... Santa will be stopping by Broadway Paper tonight too! If you donate $25 to United Way, you will receive a complimentary photograph from Front Room Photography.


The 22nd Annual Christmas In The Ward and photos for The United Way are not to be missed!

pop-up store!

In case you haven't heard, we are opening a Holiday Pop-Up Store! I had been holding off officially announcing this news on the blog since we had encountered more than a few delays in the opening of the store. We've been working very hard to get the pop-up store all set and I am anticipating it to open later this week!

Broadway Paper was first contacted in August about this idea. Downtown Milwaukee was looking to revitalize downtown street front retail, so they offered select Milwaukee retailers huge incentives to open up a pop-up store downtown. Pop-up stores are are really popular and especially during the holidays, you'll see lots of these stores pop up mostly in major cities. More information about the pop-up concept can be found here and a write-up in Milwaukee's Journal Sentinel about the new pop-up stores in downtown Milwaukee can be found here.

Broadway Paper took Downtown Milwaukee up on their great offer and here we are three months later, days away from opening Broadway Paper Pop-Up! The store will be located in the 134 year old Colby Abbott Building at Mason and Milwaukee Streets in the heart of restaurant row and right around the corner from all the nice fancy hotels downtown. It's a great spot!


We hope to see you at Broadway Paper Pop-Up later this week!

pearl & marmalade holiday

I'm pretty much in love with anything Pearl & Marmalade makes but, their holiday line really takes the cake! Pearl & Marmalade is based right out of Chicago, so it's great knowing these cards are made so close to home. And the two ladies who make them are just as sweet as their cards! Every time I receive an order, I find a sweet personal handwritten note in the box just for me. It's quite a nice touch!


I just about melted when I received our holiday order. It's full of brontosauruses, deer, bears... And lots of really great quotations like "I want to hibernate with you." Super cute! They have really great designs and colors. What's not to love?


In addition to their fabulous holiday and everyday card lines, Pearl & Marmalade has a 2010 calendar. Can you even imagine seeing Pearl & Marmalade everyday of the year? I can and I will since mine is already hanging on the wall in anticipation for using it in three weeks. It's so beautiful!


Their holiday cards are going fast, so be sure to check out our collection. All of Pearl & Marmalade's beautiful cards and calendar can be found right here on our webstore.

bwp is holiday part II

Most of our holiday product is officially up on the webstore! It feels great to see everything that I've been ordering over the past four months in one place. I think we have a great selection! Beautiful holiday wrap... stationery.. candles.. magnets. The list goes on and on!


We're still working on getting everything up on the web. This is a very lengthy process! Very soon we'll have everything that is available in the store, available on the webstore. Make sure to keep checking back to see new holiday items!

bwp is holiday!

The smell of evergreen and the look of red and green is all around at Broadway Paper. We have began putting out our holiday merchandise over the weekend and we're still at it! The store has totally transformed. It looks so beautiful! But, I keep wondering if this ever ends?!?! There's always more!



Once Christmas is actually here, I'm worried I won't be too excited for it anymore. Sounds like I better do my Christmas shopping now or else I won't be the best gift giver! Good thing I can buy my gifts here... I'm hoping my family loves Broadway Paper as much as I do since this is where I am doing my shopping!

holidays are approaching!

If you've been wondering where I've been lately... I've been here- under all of our holiday boxes. We have more boxes back here than I've ever seen before. It is getting very cozy.


I've been busy day and night printing up labels for all of the merchandise. I used to work at Broadway Paper as the receiving girl.. and I thought those days were over with once I bought the store- but I thought wrong!

And to make matters worse, I have figured out how to log in to the store remotely so I can create and print labels from the comfort of my own couch! And at all hours of the night! And in my pajamas!
This is my life! But it is the life I wanted... so I love it!
More to come once I find a home for all of these boxes!

happy st. pat's!
