bridget and todd invitations

2009-02-11T11:57:00.002-06:00

what a fun couple to work with ... bridget and todd are definitely on our favorites list. Kayd really rocked this one, love the outdoorsy feel and fun die-cut shape. I do feel for Bridget's parents though, as she is one of three sisters all getting married this summer.

Crafty Cones

2009-02-09T13:40:00.006-06:00

Here's a great craft idea for Valentine's day

We love our new die cut machine and can't get enough of making these cones with it! The back of our store has a Creation Station and will feature a new craft each month - this month is Valentine Cones. I made some to hang on my roommates door handles with some goodies in them and the girls in the photo made four to hang in their windows. So fun!

busy day at the bridal fair ...

2009-01-16T13:45:00.004-06:00

last weekend we participated in a bridal fair at the depot in minneapolis. we had such a great time meeting brides-to-be and some fantastic vendors as well. below are some pictures of our booth that we took before the doors opened.

gift-a-day #16 ... it's in the bag!

2008-12-16T13:18:00.003-06:00

messenger bags are hot! i don't know about you, but when i'm all bundled up in the winter the last thing i want to worry about is whether my bag is going to fall off my shoulder in my slick puffy coat ... so my winter bag is always a messenger bag, it stays in place and my hands are free to carry other things (like shopping bags!).

gift-a-day #15 ... creativiTEE!

2008-12-15T13:51:00.004-06:00

gift-a-day #13 ... pretty, pretty glitter!

2008-12-15T13:38:00.002-06:00

these glitter shaker kits are the perfect addition to any artisan's studio. just looking at them inspires me to create something girly. and yes, the glitter does sprinkle easily out the tops!

2008-12-15T13:29:00.003-06:00

these soaps and lotions are by local company daub and bauble (and we do like supporting local). and the beauty is they smell as good as they look. with scents like mission fig and thyme, arriba cacao and spice, tarocco orange and clove, and sorrento lemon and ginger how can you choose just one!

gift-a-day #11 ... dress up!

2008-12-11T10:28:00.002-06:00

this one's a bit of a departure from the usual paper/stationery items, but it's adorable none the less. we just got a crop of dresses in for the little ones, made from fun fabrics from amy butler and other fun coordinating designs. if only i had a little girl ...

gift-a-day #10 ... field notes

2008-12-10T10:39:00.004-06:00

hey, are you guys familiar with this product line? i recently fell in love with it, the 3-pak of purse-size notebooks has a list of ideas for using it which include: inspired ramblings, half-ass calculations, escape routes, illegible autographs, shady transactions, gambling debts, loose promises. i love it. the calendar has the most excellent list on the back of "real big days", a list of unconventional holidays such as the best day to can, pickle or make sauerkraut, national visit the zoo day, bowling ball invented, eskimo pie patented, debut of polaroid camera, first laundromat opens.

gift-a-day #9 ... light it up!

2008-12-09T13:56:00.003-06:00

what a great hostess gift, these candles by paddywax are perfectly scented for the holidays. We also have "everyday" scents as well. Paired with these matches by driscoll designs it will be the gift every hostess would love to get.

gift-a-day #8 ... take note!

2008-12-08T12:14:00.004-06:00

have you guys seen the newest amy butler journal? it's just dreamy. love the patterns and colors. and honestly, the inside is just as beautiful as the outside. add a couple of staedtler fine line markers and you've got the perfect gift for your amy butler fan.

short story ... not long after we opened the summer of '07 and couple of women came in the store and one of them said to the other something like "look, here are amy's papers, i haven't seen them in person yet". They were oohing and ahhhing when I asked them if they were familiar with amy's work? to which they replied that they both worked for her!!!! one of the women said she worked as one of her designers in ohio, and the other explained that she was the other woman's mother and that she too worked for amy, as a seamstress (in new york). so whenever you see an amy butler pattern or idea she probably sewd it. how cool is that?!

gift-a-day #7 ... night owl!

2008-12-07T16:23:00.004-06:00

another store favorite. these items from night owl press can be found in our green room (eco-friendly items only). all items shown are made from wood veneer and couldn't be any cooler!

gift-a-day #6 ... what's on the agenda?

2008-12-06T14:39:00.003-06:00

for all you cath kidston fans out there, start your new year off right in this 2009 agenda. it's the perfect size to fit in a purse so you'll never miss an another appointment.

gift-a-day #5 ... stuff it!

2008-12-05T11:21:00.004-06:00

how cute is this? my friend julie louris (of duetta , my favorite store) makes the most fabulous stockings. since julie's store closed due to water damage, i jumped on the opportunity to carry her stockings at pulp fashion. we have a nice collection and i am just so thrilled to have these scrumptous works of art to look at every day.

i just had to share ...

2008-12-05T11:10:00.004-06:00

this advent calendar my friend jayne and i made. it was the inspiration for our gift-a-day event for december. we had such a great time coming up with the design, and it's always a good time when the two of us collaborate. here's to more projects jayne!

gift-a-day #4 - jot it down!

2008-12-04T14:46:00.003-06:00

i'm lovin' these leather journals. what a great gift to start out the new year ... keep track of those new years' resolutions, use as a gratitude journal, keeping track of all those lists. i think any man or woman would enjoy this gift.

gift-a-day #3 ... bento bento bento!

2008-12-03T12:58:00.005-06:00

gift-a-day #2 ... stack the deck!

2008-12-02T12:39:00.002-06:00

i don't know about you, but "guy" gifts aren't that easy ... i found these great playing cards from binth and thought they would be perfect to stuff a few stockings. the artwork on the face cards are so fun, not your typical jack, king or queen! think your guy would love a deck? stop in or give us a call 651.439.7148.

gift-a-day #1 ... peace

2008-09-26T11:42:00.004-05:00

with great anticipation we await each day for a special delivery from our friend dean. dean is like santa here, bringing delightful items for the store with a quick smile and jolly laugh. at 10:45 daily we listen for the truck to pull up to our back door and we all run to see what fun stuff dean has brought for us, and if it keeps on going, man are we bummed.

To birch or not to birch

2008-09-05T09:53:00.008-05:00

Lauragami's fine cardinal work. Amazing stuff.

Eight foot tall paper birch trees, red feathers and origami cardinals. It was a winter-wonder delight. The best part, was the night view of the glowing birch tree windows. The tag line on exterior view"I heart Stillwinter" was a play on Stillwater and the fact that winter last nearly forever in the heart of Minnesota. So the cold days will come again. . . brrrr

not a paper cup ...

2008-09-03T12:37:00.003-05:00

looks like your average paper coffee cup, right? a witty design which turns an everyday disposable coffee cup into a long lasting, valuable product you want to keep. the double walled porcelain cup and silicone lid insulate your drink, keeping it either hot or cold and ensuring that you won't burn your fingers. microwave and dishwasher safe, too!

Apple Origami windows

2008-08-25T15:16:00.012-05:00

A couple hundred origami apples. . . easy right? Well the end result is wonderful, so yes! This Pulp Fashion store window design won first place in the merchant competition. (photography by Vickey Weiss)

Don't shoot the messenger!

2008-08-25T12:24:00.006-05:00

Back

After many requests for messenger bags we are unveiling our new designs. And the best part is, if you bring it into the store on future visits you will receive a 10% discount on products purchased. Bag mine up!

I'm Turning Japanese!

2008-08-24T14:03:00.006-05:00

I couldn't help but notice all the Japanese-influenced products at this years' Stationery Show in New York. I'm quite drawn to it, and couldn't wait for this line of office/organizational products to arrive. My boys will each be using the Grafik Agenda when they return to college and high school this fall. I already have a blue Swingbird two-sided tape dispenser on my desk, and the animal paper clips have been a big hit, especially penguins.

T's Please!

2008-08-23T14:20:00.007-05:00

They're here, they're here, they're finally here! The summer '08 Pulp Fashion t-shirts are in the store now. Last years design flew out the door, so don't wait too long to pick one up.

Happy Birthday!
