The Paper-What?
Hi there and WELCOME to The Paperie Pear blog! You may be asking yourself “Why did they misspell ‘Papery?’” or “The Paper-what?” Well, we get this a lot, so here’s our official explanation of the name BEFORE we write our celebratory “Woo-Hoo – we’ve launched the site!”
And, yes, I (Marya) am a “Woo” girl, but, lucky for you, Haley is NOT.
A “Paperie” is, simply, a store or business that deals with paper and products made from paper. The English word “Papery” is an adjective that describes something that appears to be made from paper. With our use of “Paperie,” we like it to mean BOTH. So, yes, we’re grammatically incorrect, but doesn’t it sound nice? We also like using “Pear” in two ways: we love the graphic illustration of our pear in our logo – and plus, the two of us (Haley and Marya) started this business, so we’re also a “pair.”
In other words, we’ve put a lot of meaning in our name, as we’ve put a lot of heart, thought and inspiration into our designs.
So now <drum roll…> “WOO HOO! The site is LAUNCHED!” When you’re finished reading this post, be sure to click on the “Shop” tab and check out our freshly-posted note cards and invitations – just ripe for the adding-to-cartin’!
Now, what can you expect from this whole blog thing? Here’s the plan (subject to change at any time, as we get new ideas in our sleep) – twice a week we will post to the blog and will be showing you our inspiration behind selected designs so that you can see the “Before and After” of a new invitation or note card.
We will also use the blog to spread the word about new products or services in the future. Again, we get ideas constantly and want to bring them to life as soon as humanly possible. SPOILER ALERT: I see monogrammed melamine plates, decorative customized stamps, labels, and, above all A GORGEOUS CHILDREN’S LINE in your future!!!
So, please sign up for our Blog RSS feed, bookmark this blog OR sign up to receive our monthly newsletter to receive our latest product updates and inspiration! Also, please share our site with your family and friends with the “Share This” link on the right-hand sidebar on this page.
Above all, we would love to hear from you! If you have any ideas, feedback – or just want to tell us how much you love our designs (hint, hint…) – please shoot us an email.
Have a great weekend and Happy Mother’s Day!
Marya and Haley
