Paris

 

It’s a cold, rainy day here in New York City. So why not take a trip to Paris; in our minds, and through our stomachs!

Jillian Phillips has illustrated some of our Galison Paris products, like the Book of Labels and Mini Sticky Notes,

and the, oh so creative, Marian of Sweetopia made those beautiful designs into cookies!

Who knew you could take stationery and make it edible? And the cookies are so beautiful that we almost wouldn’t want to eat them…..almost!

Thanks to Jillian and Marian, both very talented and a great team. It was a much needed trip to Paris and great inspiration!

Columbus Day

 

The New York City Columbus Day parade is getting ready to go past our Midtown offices! And we can’t let all those festivities go by without a quick post about Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day.

Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492, 519 years ago, and we officially celebrate his arrival on the second Monday in October.

We’re pretty sure he didn’t use the vintage map on our Bon Voyage products, when setting sail, but that doesn’t mean we like them, or him, any less.

Maybe this Columbus Day, we should take inspiration and go on a journey of our own….or at least send out a Bon Voyage Writer’s Notecard on a little trip!

Happy Columbus Day and have fun at all your celebrations; we’ll be out enjoying the parade!

Spring Break

With winter's icy grip still holding tight across the country, a little mid winter respite seems in order.

If you can’t head to those white sandy beaches of your dreams, maybe some sea themed puzzles and cards can help do the trick.

You can feel like you're snorkeling in Hawaii with a Mudpuppy Under the Sea 63 Piece Puzzle.Or going through the shell collection from your morning walk on the beach with a Galison Seashell Portfolio Note.

You can practice your best Argh! with a Pirate Playscene or Magnetic Figure.
Or escape to your underwater castle through the Mermaid Magnetic Figures. Whatever you choose let your imagination run wild! Sink your toes in the sand and dream of the warm weather to come.
