Leavin' on a Jet Plane!

We're en route to NYSS - but here's the last batch of speakers for our in-booth Labs. Be sure to drop by and check them out!


And for those of you who couldn't make it this year, I'll see if Haile-pie will let me borrow her ipad so I can keep you updated on the show!


Carolyn M. – Transitioning from Paper to Personalized

Papers & Presents owner, Carolyn McCoy, started her stationery business in 1988 while living in Beacon Hill and working full-time in downtown Boston. Initially she carried albums in the trunk of her car and pulled them out at every opportunity to sell stationery, invitations, and birth announcements. Today, almost 19 years later, she is the owner of a very successful store in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Raised in southern Virginia, Carolyn's inspiration for the business came from an adorable stationery store in her hometown of Martinsville, Virginia (thank you, Janice). The staples of the business are the wonderful paper products - the personalized stationery, the irresistible invitations and the adorable birth announcements. The "Presents" part of Papers & Presents, however, is comprised of very unique custom gifts. Find Paper + Presents here.
