Dempsey & Carroll's January Sale, New Valentine's Designs

Last summer, my colleague Jared noted that stationer Dempsey & Carroll was stepping in when Mrs. John L. Strong closed up shop. It seems that despite the ubiquity of electronic communication devices, there are many who still put pen to paper. If you are one of these people, or have resolved to be in the new year, you should know that Dempsey & Carroll is offering its annual January Correspondence Card Sale, with its greatest price reductions of the year and never-before-offered engraving options.

Quantities of 100 personalized and engraved Correspondence Cards, in Dempsey & Carroll's most popular size, are on sale for $225, a 40% savings on its regular price of $375. The sale price includes a new name plate, if desired. Customers may choose from four typestyles, five ink colors, and white or ecru card stock. Borders, motifs, return address plates, return address engraving, envelope liners, and other options are available for an additional charge. New for the sale this year is the Deluxe (4-ply) and Opulent (6-ply) stock, also for an additional charge.

But maybe you're not quite ready for a hand-written note. Why not start on Valentine's Day? Dempsey & Carroll is a very traditional company, but for the first time they are offering modern designs for Valentine's Day (see the gallery, below). What a nice way to send, or receive, a love note.

Recycled Paper Jewelry

Filed under: Jewelry, Green

I've always been a little in the minority being what some would call a "girly girl" but at the same time really not liking jewelry with too much in the way of jewels or flash. I'm hugely partial to sterling silver pieces with organic energy and unique individual design. And as far as I'm concerned, pretty much everything from FrucciDesign fits that criteria -- especially this Tally ring. Made of recycled paper plus various other items like wood, metal, glass, or even lava, these designs aren't priced all that high but really could be -- there are definitely some conversations waiting to be started when you wear anything from this collection.

The Zettel'z 5 Light

Filed under: Decor, Art

The Zettel'z 5 light will not only illuminate your home or office, but it will also provide a conversation piece and interesting focal point because you can actually do some reading while admiring this lamp. It's made up of 80 sheets of Japanese paper hung in such a way to disguise the bulb inside, diffusing the light in an interesting way. Designed in 1997 by Ingo Maurer, 49 of the paper sheets are printed and 31 are blank, and the rest of the lamp is made of stainless steel and satin-frosted glass. £571

Paper Softwall

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Whether you like the Paper Softwall or not depends on how you feel about subdividing your room/house/apartment into smaller spaces because, unlike most room screens, it actually is very wall-like. The primary difference between the Softwall and other dividers is that, rather than just looking attractive, the wall dampens sound and can both absorb and transmit light. It is made of 400 layers of "honeycombed translucent white, fire-retardant paper" and is bound with natural wool felt ends. The lightweight wall is sturdy, yet it can compress into one compact, plank-like sheet for storage and can be attached to additional sections for an even larger wall. It would be great for creating a mini studio around a piano, drum set or other instrumental setup, especially in a large room where sound carries easily. Price: $1,040.

Black Blossom Wallpaper Panel

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Forget about trying to cover entire walls with wallpaper or paneling. It is much more fashionable to use wall tattoos or something similar to accent the room without taking it over. The Black Blossom Wallpaper Panel works in the same way, as it only covers a small portion of the room, acting more as artwork than just a wall covering. The blossom design is hand-stitched onto vintage wallpaper and is accented with screen printed images to lend coloring and additional depth. The panels measure 22" x 118" and are mounted on a rod, rather than applied directly to the wall. Price: £1,160.00 ($2,210).

Black Toilet Paper

Filed under: Decor

If you are aiming for a unique look for your bathroom, perhaps after a remodel, there is one detail that every single person will notice, despite the fact that they probably never gave it more than a half-second of thought in the past: the toilet paper. Using Renova Black Toilet Paper, imported from France, instead of the ubiquitous white will draw comments and compliments from guests, not to mention that it just looks cool. The paper will not match an overly flowery bathroom decor, but if your tastes tend towards the modern end of the spectrum, this would be perfect. Price, for a package of six rolls: $22.

3D Flow Wallpaper

Filed under: Decor

3D Flow Wallpaper is yet another way to add both texture and visual appeal to your walls. The paper is made from recycled paper products and comes in sets of one dozen 12"-square tiles, which can be applied to the wall using a standard adhesive. If you don't care for the neutral tone of the paper, simply paint it to your tastes with a water-based paint. The crescent shapes can be arranged in any patter you like, whether you prefer random patterns or neat rows of symmetrical shapes. When you get tired of the design, or find something you like more, simply recycle the existing tiles and start again. Price: $28.

Letters Worth Loving

In the era of email, text messages and cell phones, there are few things that are as meaningful as a hand-written letter. If you are one of the few people out there who refuses to give up on snail mail, you're also probably one of those people with a penchant for cool stationery.

IShould you fall into this aforementioned category, you must visit R. Nichols Stationery to check out the newest selection of distinctive paper. Nichols is a well-known illustrator who provided the leggy, glamorous drawings for the recent best-seller, French Women Don't Get Fat. Nichols' hand-drawn cards and stationery are divided according to theme: babies, gardens, travel, New York, Paris, fashion, beauty. My favorite has to be the "Taxi in the Rain" card. For obvious reasons, this quirky card captures the romance and the drudgery of life in the Big Apple. A box of eight folded note cards with envelopes costs $14.

Fabulous Stationery

Filed under: Writing Instruments

The art of writing notes and letters with a pen and paper is a lost art. Those truly in the know have never lost this skill and more people need to get back to the basics of human communication. What better way to convey your thanks or to invite a crowd over for highballs than on personalized stationery. FabulousStationery.com is a maker of customized note cards and invites that will give your handwritten correspondence that extra-lux feel. Now, this isn't your grandmother's "thank you" notes. This is funky, artistic, and modern stationery. I'm debating between several of the mod-ish graphic note cards. Starting at $35 a set, you have no excuse not to send paper invites to your next soiree.
