Picture yourself on Spring Break with new luggage and accessories from Jon Hart. Arrive in style with one of the bright canvas colors or go the more traditional route with color. Either way, an order this week will arrive in time for Spring Break.

Luggage comes in small, medium and large sizes. A fun and useful accessory is one of the many totes for women of all ages. The bowling bag is great for kids. Men will find the medium duffle the perfect size to fit under the seat in front of them when traveling by air.

We can provide assistance with choosing size, color, etc. to best meet your needs. Email us at customerservice@silverpapery.com or call at 512-443-1188. We will help you find and order just the right pieces to liven up your baggage.

This Valentine’s Day, instead of a box of chocolates, try a box of quotes from Spilt Milk and Cookies, Inc. Each box has quotes designed for a certain person in your life (Friend, Love, Mom, Grandmother, Teacher, Sister, etc.). The quotes range from serious to funny. The celebrated authors range from vintage to modern.

One of the world’s most sought after wedding planners, Mindy Weiss, is launching a stationery line with Inviting Company. Her designs arrived at Silver Papery this week. The collection incorporates her whimsical and vintage sense of style. The line contains wedding and shower invitations, save the dates, and bridal stationery and accessories.

You may remember reading about Mindy in Instyle Magazine, People Magazine, and just about every bridal magazine. She is best known for her creative ideas and attention to detail. Clients she has worked with include: Ellen Degeneres & Portia Rossi, Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz; Eva Longoria & Tony Parker; Heidi Klum & Seal; Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale; Shaunie & Shaquille O'Neal; Jackie & Adam Sandler; Kimberly Williams & Brad Paisley; Kate Beckinsale & Len Weisman; Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey; and Trista & Ryan of ABC’s “The Bachelorette” televised wedding.

Mindy was the VIP at the National Stationery Show in New York City this past May. She is very charismatic and personable. She described some of the lines she was admiring at the show, including Smock invitations, which are letterpress with an emphasis on front and back patterning. (Their greeting cards are arriving in the store this month.) She also spoke of upcoming events she is handling in Austin.

Check out her products online or at the store. Note the “Will you be my bridesmaid?” notecards that nicely fill a bridal request we often receive these days.
