This is the prize...

All vintage, bingo card, catalog pages, wallpaper, seam binding, bling, crochet rounds, buttons, and beautiful flowers! Hmmm, I wonder who won?


Here's Tucker picking a name...Drum roll please...

It's Emily H.!!!! She's a local girl, so come by any time Emily!!!

Here's what we got delivered today. So many boxes they're taller than Tucker!

Gretchen is just giddy about her gorgeous gate...oops, that's right the Memory Gates are back! You all know how fast these go so don't wait!!!


More Gates!

Alot of you have been looking for storage jars. We have had the large pickle jars for awhile but now we have their little sisters, the little pickles...huh? Jennifer says they are Gerkin Jars.

And, if you like clear jars, these are awsome. They have solid glass lids that just sit on top. They are embossed with the words Biller & Jones St. Louis MO. We think these will be perfect for jar fairies and the like.

And there you have it, another day at Mystic Paper!!! Oops NO WAIT A MINUTE... How could I forget the vintage Bingo Bears? How cute are these guys? They have bingo cards attached to them and a cute little bingo hat. We were only able to get four of these cute little guys, so hurry down if you are thinking about getting one. For all of you out of staters we will gladly ship them to you. Just give us a call, 480-834-0286. -kj

Goodmorning!

We'll be announcing the winner as soon as Tucker gets here to do the honors! Stay tuned...

OH MY STARS...

Look what came in today...Melissa Frances Star Albums, just in time for 4th of July! And large black clipboards. We've been waiting for these for so long we almost forgot what they looked like! If you've been waiting for one you better get it before they're gone, we may never get them again.

And you know how we love our vintage finds. Lots and lots of bingo cards and wood markers.

You know how we love our birds. These are vintage Cecil Golding watercolor prints. To die for!


I'm sure you'll see these beauties pop up somewhere. hehe!

That reminds me, Mystic Paper is going to have a contest. Post a message and you might just win. Win what you ask? We promise it will be vintage and beautiful. Let's see...post your message before Independence Day is over.

And speaking of Independence Day, we will be open until 4:00 p.m. and it's Wednesday. That means coupon day and weren't there some great coupons in the paper this weekend?

Edit: Apparently we aren't getting the word out!!! Wednesday is coupon day at Mystic Paper.

We accecpt any valid competitors "coupon". One per customer please. Hope to see you

Wednesday! Have a safe and happy 4th.

Just in time for the weekend...

Here's our FedEx guy Chris bringing us more great restocked Autumn Leaves. We're still working on getting him to smile!


If you weren't able to grab up one of the Foof-A-Life books the first time we have them back in stock! The unfortunate thing, is that these won't be autographed by Marilyn Healey.


We also have restocked Rhonna Farrer clear stamps and rub-ons! We were out of them the first weekend we got them in.


Restocked Tim Holtz cling mount stamp sets...YEAH!


And now...what we have all been waiting for since we saw the sneak peak on their website...
Basic Grey's INFUSION! This line is gorgeous, and as always, more beautiful in person than on the web. Come buy it up before it's all gone and you'll have to wait for us to reorder it.

We know you have all been waiting...

7 Gypsy's Round Flower, Observations, and Dots stamps are back in stock!


Look what else just got here...the REFILLABLE STAMP PADS, each pack has Red, Chocolate & Black, how cool is that!?


And more gaffer tape back in.



Sommerset Inspirations came in today as well. I love the little apron article (I am obsessed with aprons). It also has Sommerset's stamp catalog, for those of you who shop online for fun stuff.


Another found item...San Francisco building cards...who knew? These are just screaming to me to make a San Francisco book RIGHT NOW! Love it, miss it!
Do all of you know that I am a Northern California girl, and Kim is a Southern California girl?
We are such opposites it's almost scary! -jw

Lovin' It

This issue goes above and beyond anything I have seen! I haven't even finished looking at it. I had to photograph it and let you see it! It's a must have if I do say so myself...

Sunday's Fun!

Who knew a Sunday in Downtown Mesa could be so much fun... look who stopped by Michelle White, Helle Greer, Mendy Mitrani, and Lilia Meredith. Helle and Michelle were in on Thursday too, but treated us to another visit on Sunday. Can I just say I wish all of you lived closer, o.k. I'll change that...I wish we lived in San Diego! All of these girls were just so much fun. Can't wait for Helle's and Michelle's store to open. Road trip for Jennifer, Lilia, and me.

Lilia and Mendy met online a few years ago and this was their first in person meeting. They are going to have a blast for the three next days.

And this lovely lady is Karla. She was here for Sparkle Bella too. What a genuinely nice person. We'll definitely be keeping in touch! We need to bring her into the blog world. Since she's a So. Cal girl we plan on hooking up at the next CHA. Since she couldn't get a flight out until tomorrow she spent a good part of the day in Mystic Paper. She even was helping with sales! Now that's a team player. No pay, just work!

This was just a great weekend. We so appreciate everybody coming in, loving our store, giving us feedback, and just being the great women that you are!

Saturday's fun...

Today Mike Putman taught his first class at Mystic Paper, but this isn't the first class he's ever taught. First let me say, Mike is awesome!!! He loves what he does and that's obvious in his work and in his teaching. There are lots of pictures in this post because it was so much fun to document the progression of his class. So, let's get started!

Listening to Mike's introduction...

Nice clean tools to start with. They got to play with Bees Wax, Alcohol Inks, Chalk Inks, heat guns, and irons.


Getting started...


Hmmm, what have I gotten myself into?

Lots of fun embellishments...

And ephemera...

Beginning of a layout for the collage...

Now it's gettin' messy...

A few finished collages...

Aren't they beautiful?

Every collage was different. Some brought their own pictures to use like this, and others used what Mike brought.

This class was a huge success! Thanks so much Mike! I think the applause at the end of the class was a clear indicator that Mike's classes are going to be a huge hit here at Mystic Paper. Keep your eye on the calendar for Mike's next class, it's going to fill fast!
