internet delights no 102312

And, we're back. Thank goodness almighty. There is no segue for this transition from post partum depression to talking again about pretty little internet delights after, oh, four months of silence is there? Here's the truth, folks: a gal can be sad and then, thank God, not sad anymore...and through it all? She can still love pretty little delights. So let's return to taking about those pretty little delights today. Hopefully they bring smiles to your pretty little faces.

1. I found some fantastic new flats that are sorta pointy, but not too I-work-in-a-corporate-office kind of way, and sorta more my age than some of the shoes I tend to wear (either bright pink tennis shoes or slippers most days. Truth.) Anyway. Aren't these fun? They come in all sorts of colors. I went with the grey. Duh.

2. If you give a gal some fantastic new flats, chances are she's going to ask for some new slippers as well.

3. Gah. I died. Did you die? I just want to squeeze this little elephant and go a little Lenny on his widdle wrinkles. (found on this tumblr)

4. I want this to be a bedspread. Or a towel. Or a rug. But I'll also take it as a pretty fabulous tea towel as well.

5. Little Miss Sarah June likes to make out with and chew on the princess version of this blabla doll all day long.

6. Oh hey there, 2013 Planner. You're here and shipping out every single day and I love you oh so much.

2013 planner pre-order sale has begun!

Well, kids, the planners are coming back for 2013. It's been an exciting time over in Laurel Denise land proofing monthly and weekly view files and designing new covers all while changing diapers and cooing and smiling at perhaps the happiest baby girl God ever did create. Yes, yes...an entire post (many of them, I'm sure) dedicated to that smiling face is coming soon, I promise. It's just that there is way too much to say and way too many pictures to go through to post that right now. This post? This post here is to announce that the pre-order sale of the 2013 Laurel Denise Planner has officially begun! Grab them here for $30.00 until September 1st. After that day, they will go back to $35.00. Smooches to you, my happy planning and list-making friends!

(If you'd rather purchase on Etsy, you can follow this link and be taken directly to the Laurel Denise Etsy Shop.)

stationery show city

We're big-time gearing up for the stationery show coming up over here, friends. Like, big time. Postcards and paper punching and stamping and email writing and catalog designing and just doing everything ever in the whole wide world to get our bums in gear it seems (ps: I'm never dramatic). It's been busy, but guys, seriously, these little calendars are just happy. The colors (colors!!), the pattern (pattern!!) and just the overall readiness of them is great. They sort of make me squeal when I look at them. The many late nights (and early mornings) have been worth it this week. I think you guys will really like this 2012 version and I hope the wholesale buyers I meet this weekend will, too.

If you happen to be a wholesale buyer or an editor and want to come on by and see the new goods this weekend, me and Cute Husband (that's right, friends, he's coming with me!) will be in booth 1870 at the stationery show from May 15-18. We'll be hanging with our Figs & Ginger friends who, I'm not kidding, are launching some of the cah-uuuutest new products ever.
