Washi or not to Washi...

Washi Tape was all the rage at the Winter CHA show. Everyone was all a buzz about the WASHI!
Many of you have been asking and now we have it!

Washi tape is made from traditional Japanese washi paper, it's excellent for decorating packages, gift wrapping, scrapbooking, card making and it's photo safe!

Washi tape in wonderful solid colors~ Brights and Jewel Tones and even some Stripes! So for those of you who've been asking and for those of you with tape fetishes (um...I'm not naming names, but you know who you are) it's here.
Now everyone can WASHI!

Did I mention that yesterday we received 4 big boxes of new product and today we received 4 more boxes of new product! We have new stuff still waiting for some shelf space. I tell ya, it's been a very busy week.

In one of today's boxes we opened we found NEW SOMERSET STUDIO...

SOMERSET APPRENTICE...

And SOMERSET ART QUILTING STUDIO!

Now that is a lot of lookin' and readin' that needs to get done.
Have fun with the new issues!

Yesterday I sent out an email promising everyone these for the weekend...


It looks like UPS didn't think it was that important that they bring them to us today. So we'll be getting them Monday afternoon. Sorry for any inconvenience, but we'll have 'em next weekend!

Bring your digital camera or memory card and Tricia will show you how this sweet, handy and very dandy little compact portable printer works! She'll print out 5 photos for you to take home-FREE!

The Storm before the Calm...

Yes, it's that time of year again. It's let's move furniture time at Mystic Paper! And in order to do that, we end up having to move this over here so that can go over there. But we have to move this first and put this on the floor so we can set that there. We also have to fight with all the dust bunnies that are running loose. SHEESH~What a mess!

If you came into the shop today we hope you didn't mind all the mess. Literally things were all over the floor and in a couple of weeks we will most likely move most of it again to make room for all the new product.

Kevynn was very patient with all the rolls and rolls of ribbon. Oh wait, here's another roll!

Good job Kevynn.

More moving of things will be happening around the shop for the next couple of months while we wait for all of the cool finds to come in from CHA
(the fun Trade Show where we get to order all kinds of new products)
.
Can't wait for all of you to see it. We'll keep ya'll posted, so stay tuned...

A Bunch of Little Things we LOVE...

First, we want to remind you that we have some incredible Valentine's paper, ephemera, and embellishments for you to make the one you LOVE something special...hint, hint hubbies, we also sell gift certificates!

There are a couple of spots left in Suzette's "LOVE Potion Mini Book" class this Saturday!
This class will be from 10:30 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. so ask your LOVE if you can come in to take the class and make something that you will LOVE! It's so full of techniques it's yummier than Chocolate!
Make sure you call to sign up as soon as you can, we're sure this will fill up quickly.




We have been very busy this past week changing up the shop, it's that time of year where I think everything needs to be moved around...including furniture. So you may notice some new things going on. All of the cute vintage purses are now gone, but we've replaced them with Vintage Photos and Hankies! Who doesn't LOVE either of those?

New and Restocked Cavallini goodies!

There are so many things you can do with the labels, like the Botanical ones on tiny little bars of soap...ah......good idea. Clean too!

Tins of Paris Rubber Stamps...LOVE them!

Many of the large Wrap Sheets are back in stock too.


I know that this is a Christmas paper, but it was so popular around Christmas time that we just couldn't keep it in stock. Now you can make the Christmas Banner Patty made for her Design Team Project that everybody LOVEd!

The new Botanical Butterfly paper...LOVE it!

New & Restocked File Folders~ needless to say...LOVE them!

Who doesn't LOVE some Vintage Trim?
