Season's Greetings!

I love sending cards, but mostly I like picking out a note that suits my recipient's personality. With our single holiday greeting cards, you can find something tailored to each friend or family member. We even have the cutest "Dear Santa" note perfect for the kiddies to send off to the North Pole. For a Nantucket touch, check out the seasonal "Peeps Art" cards of the island adorned with Christmas trees.

Old School Style!

In this day and age, when snail mail is more of an exception rather than a rule, people writing notes tend to want to keep them short and sweet. This means notecards are the popular option when picking out a stationery set. But fret not all you old school letter writers, we have the perfect set for you! Designed by the fun, funky & creative Paper + Cup, this "Old School" stationery set is perfect for those of us with lots to share. I love this set for a number of reasons, but most of all because of the variety. Normally when purchasing a set of notes, we're getting 6, 8, or 10 cards of all the same pattern. Not here! With 24 sheets and four different varieties of paper (not to mention the labels and stickers), no two letters of yours will be the same! Stop by to see this awesome, affordable and creative set today. I love the vintage style...

A perfect set!

Want the "in" on another Parchment Family Favorite? Brookfield's boxes of letterpressed memo notes are the perfect for jotting down thoughts, ideas, messages or using as gift cards on a little gift. We love the simple woodblock designs and bold colors on soft paper. Packaged in a beautiful reusable box, they make the perfect present-just tie a ribbon on and leave it for a friend.

RiflePaper hits the mark!

Nominated as a show favorite on various blogs after the big Stationery Show in May, Rifle Paper is definitely something to get excited about! After that tempting sneak peek in New York at the show, back home at Parchment we were so excited about adding Rifle to our ranks. It's been an excruciating three months of waiting for that big box of joy from them, but it has finally arrived and there isn't a single item that I don't want to hoard for myself! Their recipe cards are absolutely perfect (and coming in September are their luxurious, all wood, beautiful recipe boxes.) Their floral designs are delicate, colorful and one-of-a kind but it is definitely the animal prints and cards that are drool worthy. Take a quick peek for yourself!

Single Thank you notes are just delicious!
The animal collection! That ABC print would make an amazing new baby gift. We have a larger poster as well (not pictured).


Who isn't going crazy over this gorgeous boxed set of thank yous!?

Totally Cool Wooster & Prince

As one might expect, as an island boutique we sure do carry a lot of nautical and sea themed products. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the fun sailboat designs, the cool seashells and of course our fabulous local artists who do creative Nantucket renderings. But sometimes it's nice to notice something with a little twist.

Wooster & Prince definitely has that extra flair. The designs are have an awesome graphic punch to them and the colors couldn't be brighter. Best of all? Their note cards come packaged in an adorable little wallet which makes it perfect for tying a bow on and giving as a gift! Not to mention each pattern is named after an island area: Bartletts...Quidnet...Madaket... and then clearly marked on the backside of each note set. The envelopes come in bright corresponding colors, and are printed on the inside to give that "wow" effect of a lined envelope. Also amazing: the patterns aren't limited to notesets. Check out the cool file folders, snazzy journals and great to-do pads. Wooster & Prince wins an award as a Parchment Family Fave!

Hello! Hello! HelloLucky!

HelloLucky is another fabulous brand we are so, so happy to have in our store! They stand out as a letterpress institution in the stationery world, producing everything from greeting cards to gorgeous wedding suites, baby announcements and whimsical notecards. Here at Parchment we are super lucky to carry even the small portion of their line that they do. You'll notice instantly that their birthday cards absolutely pop off of the shelves, and their thank you notes couldn't be more suited to our lovely, little, water surrounded island. The colors and designs are impressive and inspirational: after seeing that perfect pink mermaid so happily under sea, who wouldn't aspire to be a mermaid when they grow up!? Bonus points? All their cards come with jazzy and snazzy colored envelopes...none of that plain old white! Get yours today (before they're all gone!)

NightOwl's a Hoot!

You think stationery is limited to plain old paper? Think again! We have notecards and products made from all sorts of awesome materials including WOOD! Yes, real, sustainably harvested wood! Night Owl's signature look involves fun, friendly, and eco-conscious notes, journals, and jotters all made out of wood.Their adorable notecards are the perfect piece to toss in the mail to say a quick hello and the seaside critters are a great fit for a Nantucket note (My personal favorite is the pirate ship!). I love their larger sized journals which include a beautiful sketch book and a super fun travel journal but for those of you who like to keep something small to stash in your purse or pocket, their spiral bound jotters are travel size!

If you're too intimidated by the earthy feel of real wood, check out their more traditional but just gorgeous letterpress notes. We carry a variety of beautiful boxed thank you sets (sadly, not pictured). Come check it out! We can't wait to see you!

Jotters rock!

Seaside critters can't be missed!

To record your scribbles, doodles, and masterpieces! Come in the shop to see the travel log they do, perfect for recording all your summertime, adventures.

Yee-haw! Farmers' Market Notecards

Yesterday seemed to slip away quickly, but not so quietly. With Sundays being her day of rest, Monday means "re-entry" for owner/operator the lovely Ms. Heidi. As one may expect, she spends the day racing around trying attend to everything and everyone. While she goes about her day, my job is to be at her side, trying not to make any extra trouble. And so we spent our Monday playing catch-up...printing envelopes, conjuring up proofs, making messes, trying to find a good station on Sirius radio (any suggestions?) and of course, drinking Diet Coke (a Parchment staple). So forgive me please, I didn't get a post up yesterday!

But fret not, today's featured item makes up for yesterday's silence! Of the many charming new lines Heidi has picked up these year, Yee-haw Letterpress has got to be one of the most creative and delicious. Letterpressed on a thick, kraft-colored cardstock, the Farmers' Market line is as fresh as it looks. Inspired by a local farmers' market, Yee-haw features a variety of veggies and plants. Here at Parchment you can find the strawberry, corn, carrot, hydrangea and sweet pea designs. The oversized images on oversized notecards help these guys really stand out off the shelves. I have one word for you: Yummy!
