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?
