holiday window winners

a happy monday to you all! i hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving and had too much pie (like me)!

downtown boise is in full glow - the streets are lined in christmas lights and garland, the stores are filled with festive music and the tree in the grove has been lit (and the tree at the capitol will be lit tonight!). 

we here at paisley roberts invite you to come take a look at all the wonderful window displays, including ours of course...

this year, a graphic design class at BSU came to us with an idea in mind - to present us with a handful of window display designs incorporating our product and have us pick and display a winner.

liz roberts, the owner of paisley roberts, chose the window shown below. check out an article in the arbiter on the downtown window displays.

congrats to the winning design team!

remember playing with paper dolls as a child? the design team took that idea and created these outfits for their skaters - all made from our in-store paper, including silver paper for them to skate on!

the paper doll concept becomes more clear from this humorous angle - everything was handpainted by the group as well

the winning team and their teacher, amy granger (top right)

good work everybody!

...it's time to get out your stretchy pants and slippers (at least i'll be wearing slippers) because thanksgiving is just a couple of days away!

come in to paisley roberts and pick up some turkey napkins to go with your table before we run out!

red cap cards

envelopments

think envelopments for your next invitation or announcement...choose your own paper combination or look through envelopments pre-made recipe color combos and flip through sample invitations to spark inspiration. we carry a selection of card stock, pocketfolds, envelopes etc... in-store but we can also order much more directly from envelopments...

see below for some samples...

infusion organique

often times, the first thing customers ask when they walk in the door is "what is that wonderful smell?" although we have many different candles and soaps that add to the aroma, the infusion organique diffuser in buddha's fig stands out the most.... and is the hardest to keep in stock

here it is again in all its splendor

we also carry hand lotion and room sprays

as well as lovely candles

happeez clips and things

magnets have definitely taken a hit since stainless steel appliances have hit the market. but our friends at mayfair lane have come up with a fun and colorful solution! not only do these magnets, photo frames and note pads stick to stainless steel, they'll also stick to mirrors, glass and smooth wood!  they don't leave any residue to clean up and they're completely reusable as well as non toxic and odor free.  if they lose their stick, simply wash and dry the backing and you're ready to reapply!

we sell the magnets packaged in trios or singles. below is a sampling of the collections.

this is my favorite magnet, 'meadow dots' ... i'm a sucker for polka dots!

simply frame artwork or photos with their cute and classy frames

and keep your life organized at eye level with the stickable to-do, grocery list or notepads

or leave yourself or others a friendly reminder!
