In letters we can reform without practice, beg without humiliation, snip and shape embarrassing experiences to the measure of our own desires... ~Elizabeth HardwickJan &amp; Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18180519280312580933noreply@blogger.comBlogger431100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190017058534682123.post-65671043139270260452010-07-05T11:39:00.000-05:002010-07-05T11:39:55.827-05:00

How did you celebrate the fourth of July? Family gathering?  Neighborhood picnic? Fireworks? Did the kids in your neighborhood decorate their bikes and parade through the streets? I remember those days! Independence day is the quintessential American holiday! I’ll admit that over the years, I sort-of forgot what the day was about. Same with Memorial Day, Labor Day and a few others. They became

We have one of those signs at the check out area in our store asking people to pay with cash on purchases under $8. Most people don’t even notice it. And truth be told, we don’t even say anything unless it’s a ridiculously low dollar amount where the customer wants to use a card.  I’ve seen people pull out a card for a $1 purchase. In an electronic world, few people carry cash anymore, and even

I love owning a stationery store.  I realize just how much I love it when I think of giving it up. That’s when it hits home.  But one thing I don’t love is feeling like the ‘keeper of etiquette.’  Afterall, why is that my job?  Well, I guess it is part of my job. And part of what sets Sarah B. Fine Stationery (and other professional stationers with a brick and mortar shop) apart from the others

I just have to share this idea that I found on MarthaStewart.com...  a beautiful way to wrap a gift that any mom would love on Mother's Day! Print out a photo in color, or b&w, as shown here.  Wrap the gift in a neutral or coordinating color, then add a band of ribbon or paper and attach the photo to the front. Simply beautiful!  Mom won't even want to open the gift! Be sure to attach the

Recently a customer entered the store asking if we had “fair trade cards.” Hmmm, I had to give that one some thought. I know about fair trade clothes, fair trade coffee, but cards, I hadn’t come across that one. After a moment of thought, I remarked that there really isn’t such a thing, rather, we make every attempt to buy American. Buying American to us means many things. Among them, it can

Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone.  ~G.B. Stern One of the most common complaints we hear at the store is that people don't bother to write them a thank you note following a gift. That, or that their grandchildren haven't been taught to write a thank you note. They're left wondering if they even received the gift, got it and didn't care for it, and/or just didn't have the manners to

The US Postal Service is expected to announce the unveiling of a new $.64 stamp at the National Stationery Show in May.  The stamp will be available for sale beginning May 17, to be utilized for square or irregular-shaped envelopes. The stamp will always have a butterfly design on it, and in addition, manufacturers will begin to imprint the same design on envelopes, indicating a need for the

Today, March 8, is International Women's Day.  It is a day when men and women celebrate the economic, political and social achievements of women the world over, past and present. In some countries, today is a national holiday. I first learned of this day a number of years ago in Italy, where the women were given a sprig of Mimosas (the flower, not the drink!) at a restaurant.

The other night I just happened to catch Jimmy Fallon on Late Night. I don't usually watch that show - way past my bedtime, and I'm generally boycotting NBC since losing Conan. But somehow I find his thank you note skits amusing. So while listening and chuckling, I noticed something - Jimmy Fallon was using Crane & Co. thank you notes!   Now, I can't swear that they were from Crane, but that '

Remember when eating out was a treat? It used to mean a special event – a birthday or maybe an anniversary. When I was a kid, it meant mom and dad were going out! Dad would take me to the McDonalds and we would buy food to take home and eat (that’s all you did back then). Wow, was that a treat! Hamburgers and fries! A rare occasion! Now-days, it’s become routine. We grab something on the way

Valentine’s Day is approaching, and I've been thinking about the meaning of the holiday, and realizing I don’t really know what the meaning is! To me, Valentine’s Day is one of those ‘fluff’ holidays, sort of like St. Patrick’s Day, that we “celebrate” but don’t really pay much attention to, other than sending cards and giving chocolates. So I did a bit of reading. According to Wikipedia, the

Some years ago, I was a wedding coordinator at my church, along with several other women. About once a year, we got together with our priest and discussed how to best assist the couples we worked with. Invariably, stories about this bride or that mother started to come out and we all had a good laugh about the challenges we encountered. Our priest always suggested that we could write a book about

I don't know about you, but it often feels to me like we live in an impersonal world. People converse via computers instead of in person much of the time because of the speed at which you need to get things done. But (!), sometimes, it's nice to slow down and take the time to be with friends and really be present -- not only physically, but mentally too. And in taking the time to do so, you come

Thanksgiving is Thursday! And Christmas is soon to follow. As we enter the holiday season, please remember that though it is the season of gift-giving and receiving, it is also a time to be thankful for the friends and family you have to spend it with. And if they are giving you gifts, you should return them some appreciation. This may be in the form of a gift in return, but it absolutely should

With the state of our economy, many vendors are offering special discounts, not only for their holiday cards, but also for personalized stationery. And though most of the holiday specials have ended, some have been extended or reinstated. Here are the latest: Holiday Card Specials: CRANE & CO. has a special until December 31st for 10% off all Personalized Holiday & Photo Card orders.

As we enter fall, we know that it starts getting dark earlier and staying dark later in the morning, which can be a good thing because if you're like me, you catch up on all the sleep that you missed when the sun was blaring in your windows at 6 am during the summer and still up at 9 pm when you really had to get to bed! Yeah! More sleep, but with more sleep, somehow in the winter it's also more

Recently, I was walking through Target and stumbled on their aisle of Christmas cards.  There, on the shelf, were three lines of cards that we carry in our store! What?!?  Upon closer examination, they had removed some of the “bells and whistles” that make the cards we sell special, stuck them in a cheap package and stuck a cheap price on them. Same look, cheaper version. Made in China. No one

Watch CBS News Videos Online I like Andy Rooney -- sometimes his features are quirky, but sometimes they're perceptive too. I couldn't agree more with his insights about the United States Postal Service and sending letters.

As a stationery store owner, I often get questions about etiquette, and I’m happy to answer. It seems that over the last several decades there’s been such a movement towards ‘casual’ that we forgot to teach our kids some of the rules. Surprisingly, however, it’s often the generation older than me that is locked into incorrect ways. So, here are a few simple rules pertaining to name placement on

There are some changes in life that our culture embraces. A new marriage, new baby, new home. We welcome, no celebrate these changes in our life. They are joyous events that mark a special event in our lives.There are other changes in life that we avoid or dread, such as an illness or loss, anticipated or not.Then there are the changes that could go either way. A new job might be forced or

School has started now and the leaves are just starting to turn colors and the weather is starting to cool. Yeah! Fall is almost here and with it comes the changing leaves, the sweaters & sweatshirts, football games and wood burning in the fireplaces. There's nothing like it!And along comes Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas not far behind. Though the kids are back to school, there's more

I know everyone is busy, every minute of every day... me too!But, I find myself remembering and wishing for the simpler times. I remember as a child sitting down to dinner every night (or maybe not every night, but most nights anyway). And I remember my parents cooking those meals and serving us a large plate of whatever they've cooked up. Could be that's what has attributed to my weight issues (

Like all of you, I’ve been busy. Summer hits and suddenly it’s nearly over already! But our wedding finally happened – what we’ve been anticipating and planning for nearly a year now! And what a gorgeous setting!My son and his wonderful bride tied the knot in the mountains of Oregon. In a garden surrounded by flowers, pine trees and waterfalls, they exchanged vows.But, some of the fun and most

Boy, it seems like every day the news about the economy gets worse. More layoffs, home foreclosures, business closings and the stock market plummeting. Where’s it going to end? It seems like a downward spiral that just keeps going. It makes me afraid to go out and buy anything. I’ll just keep my money for now.Well, why? I’m fortunate to have a husband with a steady job and good income. He’s not

My favorite time of the year!! Some people love Halloween, some Thanksgiving. Me? I love Christmas! I plan gifts for months, stock up on ideas, schedule parties, bake cookies. And we get to transform the store! Nearly overnight, we go from "everyday, fall and Halloween with a bit of Christmas merchandise in the mix" to "IT'S THE HOLIDAYS"!! Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year's! The

Maybe you know the statistics and maybe you don’t…Did you know that Breast Cancer is one of the top killers of women? “An estimated 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to occur among women in the United States during 2008. An estimated 40,480 women will die from breast cancer.”* It is important to know that “the older a woman, the more likely she is to get breast cancer,

On the night of the first presidential debates, Renee and I were in the grocery store and found cookies – one with Obama and one with McCain faces screen printed on! We joked that in Madison, they’re probably selling 2 to 1 (for those unfamiliar with Madison, that’s in favor of Obama). But whatever your bent, I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to live in a free country that allows us to

Whenever we travel, I love to stop in as many local stationery stores as possible and see what they do differently from us, what companies they carry, how they display their items, etc. My parents hosted a family reunion in Sun Valley, Idaho this year. Gorgeous scenery, wonderful weather and lots of outdoor activities for the whole gang – horse back riding, golf, swimming, hiking, mountain biking

So, being the owner of a stationery store, I’ve long dreamed of the invitations that would invite friends and family to my kids’ weddings. So many options: engraved, letterpress, colorful, classic. But it just has to be letterpress. My ultimate favorite.My son and his fiancée live in Oregon. They love all things outdoors: camping, snowboarding, hiking, biking. I’d personally selected a beautiful

Well, I’ve finally joined the ranks of women who’s son is getting married. That group who want to be friends with their daughter-in-law-to-be and simultaneously not be downgraded in importance to their son. That woman, who wants to be involved in planning the wedding, but really isn’t supposed to. The one who could easily take over, but strives to keep her mouth shut. Yep, that’s me.Yes, I’m also
