Restickable Frames

We thought these would be great not only for the house to display drawings, good grades and family photos... but for lockers, computer, and binders too! 
Best part is they are reusable










Hope this first week is a great one!!

Getting Organized

With the start of school comes the start of piles.... 
of paper...
 of clothes... 
of dishes.. 
of to do lists....

At Paper Lane we acknowledge these piles and put merchandise in the store we think 
might help us and you too. 

We keep in stock the beloved MomAgenda/ MyAgenda. People get these and end their search for the perfect planner and organizer. Im not exaggerating. You have not arrived oranizationally until you have a MomAgenda. 

Why are they so good? They section of different spots for each family member for each day! Easy. 
We have all the sizes and styles. They start in August of this year and go to the first week of Jan 2013!







And to address to piles here's a simple and easy idea we saw on pinterest

The Art of Letters

(We have these in store)

"To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart"
- Phyllis Theroux

 Chris Hite, a Dallas retail consultant, recently wrote an article on the almost lost art of letter writing. Here is an excerpt that resounded with us and we thought it might resound with you too.

" I am sure you and I are no different when we get our mail each day in that we sort through the catalogs, set the bills aside and select the handwritten envelopes to open first. Wedding invitations are my favorite. The elegance of hand calligraphy, inner envelopes and either a letterpressed or engraved invite is just pure class. I may be a bit of a postal geek, but I like to think of myself as a post- modern guy who appreciates good old fashion manners. 
I love knowing that someone took the time in their technology-crazed day to put the pen to paper."

Who will you write today?
