Fabulous iPhone Cases from Confections!

The iPhone craze has swept not only the country but the world. It’s very unlikely to walk into any coffee shop, store or restaurant and not see multiple people using their iPhones. This is no different for the crew at Confections by Shara’s Paperie. Several of us have jumped on the iPhone bandwagon. This is great news for iPhone, but very confusing for us to tell whose phone is whose, especially when we have the same phone cases!

We noticed this was becoming a problem and thought we couldn’t be the only ones with this issue, so we created these fun iPhone cases. How amazing are these!

As with all of our personalized gifts, our iPhone cases are available in a variety of colors and designs and can be customized with your name, initials or monogram. And if you are anything like me, I’m sure you have dropped your iPhone on more than one occasion, which is why our cases offer tough protection. First, a silicone skin surrounds your iPhone completely, absorbing all impact and shock. Wrapped around the skin is a tough, ABS plastic shell, which completely secures your iPhone 4 and adds another level of protection. Each case is designed and heat printed so there is no fading or rubbing off.

We hope you love our iPhone cases as much as we do! And don't forget, order by December 12 for Christmas delivery!

The Power of Pink

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time to embrace the pink power! October is breast cancer awareness month, an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cure.

There are several activities throughout the month of October that allow you to show your support for this great cause. You can get active and participate in a run, walk or bike ride. If that’s not really your style you can simply show your support by wearing pink or organize a pink party to help raise money.

And guys, pink isn’t just for the ladies, look at the NFL. Players show support by wearing pink gloves, cleats and other apparel during games. Even Sports Illustrated added pink to their cover in support of breast cancer awareness.

Take a look at some of our favorite pink items for inspiration

Confections New Initial Stationery

I love stationery and get so excited when we have a new design, I just can’t wait to share it with all of you!

Drum roll please…

To introduce our latest design we created a new line of initial stationery. The black and white pattern gives the stationery elegance while a bright colored initial provides fun with that extra pop.

Initial stationery always makes a perfect gift because it is so useful. Write a note to a friend, co-worker or your child’s teacher. Can’t find a good birthday card, make your own. And you know from my previous blog posts how perfect our stationery is for thank you notes.

Inspiration is Everywhere

I have a major confession...I am a huge television fan. This week has been one of my favorites because it has been full of season premieres. All of my old shows are back and some new exciting shows were thrown in the mix.

One theme that I noticed with the start of this television season is weddings, which immediately made me think of invitations. This started the wheels turning in my head and along with the Confections team we created these new party invitations. We can't wait to hear what you think!

Weddings come with lots of parties and after seeing all the tv weddings we decided to add to our wedding party line.

But once we got started we couldn’t stop so we created these new birthday invitations…

Are you a television fan too? Which shows are you most excited about?

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Do you remember the first week of school when all of your teachers would give you the same assignment...write a paper about your summer vacation? No matter if you were in third grade or tenth, every teacher kicked the year off with this question. In honor of Labor Day and the official end of summer vacation I thought I'd take on this assignment, after all, Confections and Shara's Paperie had a very busy summer!

We started off our summer vacation with new designs for our favorite personalized gifts. We introduced new cutting boards, coasters and water bottles to coordinate with your backyard BBQ. We also came up with new stationery and invitations to put you in the summer mood.

In the stationery world we are always ahead a few seasons so in June we gave you a sneak peek at our new holiday line, complete with reindeer and gingerbread men. Then we took our personalized plates to the next level and created personalized Day of the Week Plates.

We really wanted to end summer with a bang so last week we introduced our newest product, Confections Lucite Trays. To us, these Lucite trays are the last trip before school starts, we've been looking forward to it all summer and it did not disappoint. With an endless possibility of ways to use them and a plethora of designs, we think the Lucite trays are the best way to end our summer.

Now we just have one question for you...how was your summer vacation?

I Love Lucite

I am so excited to introduce our newest edition to the Confections personalized gift line…Lucite trays, available in 3 great sizes!

You can use them to serve drinks and appetizers at a party, to hold the remote on your coffee table, as a cosmetic or jewelry organizer…the possibilities are endless!

Each tray includes a vinyl, reversible insert that can be personalized on both sides, creating two different looks.

We wanted to create a great product that is durable and easy to clean and that’s exactly what we were able to do with these trays. The vinyl that we use is created to be sturdy and infinitely reusable, no worries if it gets wet. To clean the tray, simply slip out the insert and wash gently with soap and water. The insert can also be wiped down with a damp cloth.

We love our Lucite trays and think you will too! Let us know what you think and what uses you come up with for your personalized Lucite tray!

We have the BEST clients!

Today’s blog is dedicated to you, our clients. It’s because of each and every one of you that we are able to do what we do. What we love even more than creating new designs and fun products is the reaction we get from our wonderful clients.

We wanted to share these kind thoughts from two of our clients…

I began shopping at Shara's soon after the store opened. My daughter and I love beautiful paper and Shara's is a feast for the eyes. The array of unique papers, cards, invitations and accessories give Memphis a shopping experience such as one would find in a larger city like Chicago or Atlanta.The best thing about Shara's is Shara! She remembers my "likes" and taste and she goes out of her way to ask about my family. Her support staff is great!Shara's is a business that is hard to find today, one with a friendly, hard-working shopkeeper, knowledgeable employees and lovely products.-Lisa

I’m reminded of the time when we met. I brought to you a sketchy idea and my baby's life in a few photos shopping for an invite to her graduation party. You framed this concept with your words in the loveliest invite. It's like you knew her your whole life! You have a special way of personal service with intuitive insight, so much like an artist. And, you have been consistent with my expectations.I so appreciate your artistic talents and personal touch that have delighted my family and added so much to "start the party". –Mona

Shara’s Paperie opened in 2004 and because of our extraordinary clients we were able to create Confections by Shara’s Paperie three years later. We would not have been as successful or grown so much if it wasn’t for our clients.

The Shara’s Paperie and Confections by Shara’s Paperie team want to thank all of our clients! We love what we do and are so happy that you do too!

Please and Thank You

On a recent vacation we stopped by the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan where I came across this sign…

It made me think about the importance of manners, courtesy and etiquette even in today’s “modern world”.

One of the most overlooked forms of communication today are handwritten thank you notes. It's easy to thank someone for a gift by shooting them a quick email or posting a message on their Facebook wall. But the reality is a warm, personalized, handwritten thank you note, regardless how short, really lets the recipient know how much you appreciate them. Thank you notes should not only be used when receiving gifts, but following a job interview, as condolence cards and when someone has expressed hospitality, like letting you stay at their house.

Hostess gifs are also a great way to thank someone for having you over, whether for a dinner party or a weekend stay. Unfortunately a lot of people are so busy they don’t think about hostess gifts and thank you notes. Confections has an amazing assortment of custom gifts for every occasion.

Take a look around the Confections website and don’t forget to find us on Facebook and Twitter!

Summer Fun with Style

Can you believe it’s already the middle of July! Wow, this summer is really flying by. If you are like me then during the summer, you love nothing more than to be entertaining friends and family with a backyard party.

While the burgers are cooking on the grill, I love to serve my guests fresh fruit and veggies with dip, and what better way to display my yummy appetizers then on a Confections cutting board. With all of the great designs and bright colors, these cutting boards were meant to be used for more then just cutting, so show them off!

I also love mixing fun cocktails to enjoy while relaxing in a comfy lounge chair. This is when the Confections personalized coasters comes in handy. You can coordinate them to match with your cutting board!

I thought I would share some of my favorite summer drink recipes, try them out and let us know what you think...

Watermelon-Coconut Cooler (Recipe courtesy Food Network Magazine)
Serves: 8 servings
Directions: Blend 8 cups frozen cubed watermelon with 8 ounces lemon vodka, 7 ounces simple syrup and a 17.5-ounce can coconut juice. Serve with watermelon wedges.

Red Wine Punch (Courtesy of Food Network Magazine)
Serves: 6 servings
Directions: Combine 1 bottle red wine, 6 ounces brandy, 6 ounces raspberry or orange liqueur and the juice of 2 lemons in a large pitcher and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve over ice and garnish with raspberries and orange slices.

What's trendy...Confections by Shara's Paperie!

Confections by Shara’s Paperie is in the Summer 2010 Issue of Stationery Trends! We are so honored and thrilled that we were asked to be apart of this interview.

Jingle Bells in June

My past few blog entries have been about summertime, because, well it is summertime! But today I thought I would share what is really going through the minds of the Shara's Paperie team…Christmas!

I know it sounds crazy, especially since here in Memphis it’s been close to 100 degrees almost every day, but the holiday season is all we can think about. And there is a good reason for that.

In our world, we have to be 4-6 months ahead so we can meet our production and print deadlines. So while most people are enjoying the summer heat and hanging by the pool, we are thinking about snow, Santa and hot chocolate.

So when Christmas time does get here, we’ll be thinking about cookouts and pool parties…we are always a few seasons ahead!

Enjoy this sneak peek into our newest holiday collection.

Don't forget to check our Facebook page every day for our secret sale!!

News from Shara's Paperie!

It’s been an exciting week for Confections and Shara's Paperie. First we started working on a new personalized gift that we will be introducing very soon. The prototype came in and it’s even more amazing then we expected. We aren’t quite ready to share all of the juicy details yet, but check back very soon!

The second bit of exciting news for the week is that we received this wonderful email from a client who ordered one of our cutting boards.

Hello! Just wanted to write and let you know that we love the cutting board. Thank you for offering something that is cute and modern! We ordered it to use in the top of a bookshelf my dad was making for my daughter. It is now done, and I thought you'd like to see how it came out. There is even a light under the cutting board -- it looks cool at night!

Thanks!
Sherri

We love hearing from our clients and we were so pleased that Sherri took the time to show us what creative idea she had. What a great idea!

I also wanted to use this blog post to share some upcoming news with you, if you are not Facebook friends with us, you should be! Next week Shara’s Paperie will have a special item on sale everyday! But the only way to know what item is by checking our Facebook page. Click on the button below to become our friend.

Are you ready for summer?

Summer officially started last week with Memorial Day. Pools are now open, temperatures are scorching (at least here in Memphis) and kids everywhere are celebrating.

Longer summer days mean fun family cookouts and pool parties with friends. But are you ready for it all? Let Confections by Shara's Paperie help you have a great summer.

While you are relaxing by the pool watching the kids play an intense game of marco polo, you can enjoy a nice drink from your Confections personalized water bottle.

And as the smell of bar-be-que fills the air, you can use your Confections Cutting Board to display appetizers like fresh fruit, cheeses, or veggies and dips.

Since we are in Memphis we thought it would be appropriate to share one of our favorite bar-be-que recipes with you. Let us know what you think!

The Importance of Color

Take a minute and look around the room. What do you see? No matter what it is, you should see color. We are surrounded every day by color, whether it’s the paint on the walls around us or the flowers and trees outside.

Today I wanted to share this video about Pantone. Pantone, Inc is the world-renowned authority on color. For more than 45 years, Pantone has been inspiring design professionals (including us) with products, services and leading technology for the colorful exploration and expression of creativity.

One of the biggest themes I noticed from this inside look at Pantone is that color conveys feelings and emotions. Because of this it plays an incredibly important role in design, whether its fashion, interior design, graphic design or of course stationery.

Check out the video 360° Color: A Peek Inside Pantone for a closer look. After you watch the video look around our site to see how we use Pantone’s colors as inspiration in our designs.

School's Out...Let the Summer Festivities Begin!

This week marked the end of the school year here in Memphis. And with the extremely warm weather we’ve been having it seems like summer is officially here! That means its time to start thinking about summer camp. Confections by Shara’s Paperie has everything you need to get ready for the season.

One of our most recent additions to the Confections line is personalized luggage tags. Made of hard plastic to withstand everyday use, our custom luggage tags will help your camper keep up with their belongings. Your kids will love these brightly colored tags each with a fun distinctive pattern to set their bags apart from everyone else.

What would summer be without fun outdoors? An important part to being outside during these hot months is to drink plenty of water. You won’t hear any arguments about that when your kids see our fun and stylish water bottles. Our aluminum water bottles hold 20 ounces and come complete with two caps and a hook attachment. Designs are fused to the surface of the bottle for a long lasting finish that is durable and personal.

Summer fun comes with plenty of stains and what could be more useful while away at camp than laundry bags. Sure, laundry bags sound like a mundane object, but when you add our great designs and personalization Confections’ new laundry bags become a must have for the summer.

You will want to know all about your camper’s day and what could be better than personalized stationery. Our stationery is printed on heavy card stock in bright vivid colors. Add your camper’s name with one of our great patterns for a custom look your kids will be excited to write home.

We are adding new gifts and designs to our Confections line every day so check back soon to see what’s new!

Happy Summer Vacation!

New York Stationery Show 2010

I am lucky, really lucky. Every year on the middle of May I get to travel from my home in Memphis, TN to New York City and attend the National Stationery Show. The only show devoted to buyers and sellers of paper, and we all know I LOVE PAPER. The way it feels, smells, looks and the significance it adds to an event. This trade show is something that I look forward to every year. In the world today of texts, emails, Iphones, etc there is nothing like getting somethinng wonderful in the mail. Be it an invitation, greeting card or thank you note. It leaves a mark, a memory and a keepsake for the receiver. And let's face it, you cannot frame a text message.

The Stationery Show this year was covered by the New York Times. A fabulous article on why paper is so important today. Check out the article at http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/19/when-its-important-its-paper/.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Don't Forget To Say Thank You

I have talked about the importance of thank you notes before. I love thank you notes, the pretty papers and styles, the fun pens and most importantly sending someone who did something special for me happy thoughts. But I am beginning to understand not everyone feels the same way.

Currently I am interviewing candidates for an open position we have at Shara’s Paperie. Unfortunately I have not been impressed with my potential employees. Not that they aren’t a very qualified group of individuals or anything, but not one has sent me a thank you note for meeting with them.

For all of you college graduates starting the interview process let me give you a piece of advice, no matter how the interview goes you must always send a thank you note. And emails don’t cut it!

Out of courtesy to your interviewer, you need to take the time to sit down and properly construct a thank you note. It only needs to be a few lines that shows your potential boss how much you appreciate them taking time out of their day to meet with you.

Besides don’t you think its fun to find a unique paper that perfectly fits you and personalize it with your name or monogram, and then show it off!

Great Gifts for Graduation

The school year is drawing to a close but before we can start summer vacation we have some celebrating to do! Its time for graduation!

For your kindergarten graduate a fun lunchbox personalized with their name and favorite colors will give them a great start for elementary school. If you’re looking for a gift for a preteen ready to start high school, our custom water bottles are the perfect accessory. The high schooler going off to college will love our personalized clipboards and new luggage tags. And for the college graduate entering the world, personalized stationery will come in handy as they look for that first job.

To really get in celebration mode check out our party invitations. All of our invitations can be customized for any graduation party or announcement. Plus come by the store to see all of the great gifts for all of your graduates, including sticky wall frames, magnet boards and acrylic note holders.

Need help finding your luggage?

How often do you stand at the baggage carousel waiting for your luggage at the airport, checking every black bag that comes down because you think it might be yours? Even though luggage has now branched out with colors like gray or red, they all seem to look the same.

Here at Confections by Shara's Paperie, we have put our design skills to work and come up with these trendy and colorful luggage tags. With these distinctive patterns it will be hard to miss your luggage.

And with summer being just around the corner, summer vacation and summer camp is close behind. Confections luggage tags are a great gift for your little camper or graduates.

National Letter Writing Month

April not only brings showers and springtime, but its National Letter Writing Month.

A time for all of us to step away from the computer, internet and cell phones, pull out a pretty piece of paper or stationery and a pen and actually write a letter.

We’ve talked before about the importance of writing thank you notes, but a written letter is just as significant and even more overlooked. Letter writing has become a lost art, but this month try to challenge yourself to write at least one letter to a friend or loved one. They will be so excited to see something in their mailbox other than a bill or advertisement and writing a letter will make you feel good too.

You’ll enjoy writing your letter even more if it’s on fun stationery that shows off your personal style. Shara’s Paperie and Confections have many stationery styles to choose from and all can be personalized with names, initials or monograms. Once you have your stationery its time to write your letter.

Good luck and have fun!

Gift Ideas for Mother's Day

Add your family name, initial or monogram to give your gift a personalized touch, and you still have enough time to customize it before Mother’s Day.

New from Confections...Personalized Coasters

A few months ago we designed coasters for the launch of Justin Timberlake’s 901 Tequila and were featured at the luncheon for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Since then we have been working on creating a new line of coasters and with the introduction of our cutting boards we thought new coasters to match would be a perfect pairing!

Available in sets of 4 and complete with a cork bottom, these coasters will make a great housewarming or hostess gift. All of the fun designs can stand alone or add a personal touch by including a name, monogram or initial.



Alone or paired with our Personalized Cutting Boards, these Coasters will brighten up anyone’s home!

Confections Introduces Personalized Sticky Note Cubes

Is your desk as plain as they come? A lot of the time we forget our office supplies can be cute and fun. Confections by Shara's Paperie understands this dilemma and has created these great Sticky Note Cubes.

Each side contains one of our great patterns and a personalization of your choosing whether it's a name, monogram or initial. Every cube measures at 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square and contains 700 sheets of paper with an adhesive strip.

Our Personalized Sticky Note Cubes will make a great gift for any occasion! Visit www.confectionsbysharaspaperie.com and let us know which design is your favortie!

Why give a personalized gift…

Finding a great gift for someone can be very aggravating. You can wander around a mall for hours trying to find something that person will love and cherish only to become frustrated. That’s why personalized gifts make such a great present. Not only can you customize it to that person’s tastes, but it also shows them how much you really care.

When giving a personalized gift you have to take the time to think about your recipient, for example if you are shopping for a new homeowner you might look at return address labels, cutting boards or thank you notes.

We love personalized gifts and are always adding to our Confections line. We also try to find gifts that vary in price to give you more options. Our gifts range from $10-$40.

Confections by Shara’s Paperie present Tempered Glass Cutting Boards

Next week, February 8-13, come in the store and purchase a bag for $10 to fill with as much paper, cardstock and envelopes as you can fit.

You can also check out our beautiful ribbons, jewels and accessories to really make your Valentine unique.

Writing Thank You Notes

Thank you notes are probably one of the most overlooked forms of communication today. It’s easy to thank someone for a gift by shooting them a quick email or posting a message on their Facebook wall. But the reality is a warm, personalized, handwritten thank you note, regardless how short, really lets the recipient know how much you appreciate them. Thank you notes should not only be used when receiving gifts, but following a job interview, as condolence cards and when someone has expressed hospitality (like letting you stay at their house).

Most people struggle with what they should write in their thank you notes when really it’s quite easy. It is not necessary to write a long, drawn out message when four simple sentences will do. First greet your gift giver using their name. Secondly, express your gratitude and discuss how you will use the gift. Then mention how nice it was to see them. And lastly give them a final thank you.

For example:
Dear Amy,

Thank you so much for the personalized water bottle. I can’t wait to show it off at my spin class next week. It was great seeing you at my birthday party and I hope to see you again soon. Thanks again for your gift.

With Love,
Shara

That’s all there is to it! The only hard part is trying to decide what stationery to use. Shara’s Paperie has a lot of options for you to choose from including Confections by Shara’s Paperie, Whitney English and Boatman Geller. It’s a good idea to stay away from full sized sheets since your message will be short, flat and folded notes are best. You can find the design that fits your style and have it personalized with your name or monogram.

Come by Shara’s Paperie to find the stationery that’s right for you. You can also go to the Confections website, http://www.confectionsbysharaspaperie.com/.
