Junior Designer - Gabriella Miyares

Congratulations to our very own Junior Designer, Gabriella Miyares!

Her home stationery business was featured in the borough of Queens “Times Ledger”.

Gabriella has been using her homemade printing press to make stationery and art prints in her Queens apartment since 2009. She started selling her homemade designs, under Moxie Press, on Etsy in 2010.

Thanks
And most recently the Queens Museum of Art came calling to see if they could sell her designs in their museum shop!

Congrats Gabriella; we are lucky to have you, right here, on our Galison design team!

Be My Valentine

Heart garland crop
Galison and Mudpuppy might not have the standard diamonds and chocolates that are given on Valentine’s Day each year, but if you use your imagination we come pretty close.

Stationery can make a romantic gift or be the perfect complement for that “something special”:

Add some Cupcake Gift Notes to go with a real double chocolate cupcake you picked up from the bakery!

Or try your hand at making cappuccino pie, from Galison’s Javalicious Portfolio Notes, for your sweetheart.

And our new Wine Notes Journal would be the perfect pairing with a bottle of Pinot Noir!

Babar Visits our Office

Well, not really. But we've just received samples of our new Mudpuppy BABAR MAGNETIC SHAPES wooden magnetic sets and can't resist playing with them.

Babar Magnetic Shapes35 colorful wooden magnets show Babar, his family, friends, and other residents enjoying life in Celesteville. Of course these magnets are based on illustrations from the beloved Babar the Elephant books begun by Jean de Brunhoff in 1931 and continued by Laurent de Brunhoff.

Although these magnets can be a choking hazard for children under 3, we feel we're safe here in the Galison/Mudpuppy office. Now back to work!

BTW, $17.99, and a great gift.
