just home from stationery show

where phrase of the day is "pigs get fat hogs get slaughtered..." jane boatman geller (a real indiana girl i might add) did not know or had never heard of it. jane! where have you been??? a mantra here at the hyre house and theory used frequently at paperworks.

show featured lots of great new items and designs. i personally found a few favorites that will make their way to my website www.susanhyrepaperworks.com as soon as i can find someone to update it. jane graciously offered up her peeps for help. here is something so cool--for the pet lover with everything (i have a few such clients...) a dog bone soap personalized with fido's name. gift boxed and ready for under $15. and soap on a rope is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! had it as a kid and loved it. no mushy bars left in standing water (like my hubby does now!) available in four colors and scents personalized for $15. a great grad or off to camp gift.

found cool valet trays for guy grad gifts. clever silk linings on a leather bottom case. gift boxed--$45. cute!. cute! cute! still pushing shower wraps and cool canvas totes chock full of notecards and paper for great girl grad gifts. email me for more info.

got to get this onto face book (need teens) and website. pooped out from chatting with my vendor pals and eating candy in every booth. should have been the candy show, but that is libby!

more to follow. soon. i promise.
