I love to collect stationery, whether I use it or not right away, they always end getting used. I was excited to review Carolina Pad's collection and love, love, love their quality, colors, sizes and shapes. am very proud to take out my papers in a meeting from a very elegant folder and confidently take my meeting notes in a note pad with big, bright patterns. I am nothing short of a chic-professional with Carolina Pad in my arms!   I was sent Gift Pack 3 and it is a great gift idea!

Ever since I had my son, I haven't thought "pink" as I am always thinking of choosing boyish colors for hubby and son.Yea, hubby relies on me for making color choices as he thinks I have a pretty good sense of what will go with what ( see my wide-grin?!) So, when I say, I love this  Stocking Stuffer Gift Set , I not only vouch for the lovely color combo but also the great price at which you can grab it for! For $5 this is a great stocking stuffer for a young girl or mom!

This Laptop Sleeve looks so attractive that you can even walk around carrying a really old laptop and at the same time feeling great as it will really enhance your whole outlook.It also come is a pale green color and you can choose which one you want to go with your outfit!
 

 Carolina Pad has launched an exclusive line by Libretto Designers  and some of the designs are "tres-chic" and will simply add to your personality when you walk with it.

  

This Pear Notebook by Ora Kiely for $12 is a great buy as it comes with a Die-punched linear stem bookmark, Vellum section divider pages, Contrasting colour end papers and Shrink-wrapped with descriptive belly band.

This Bellechase Layflat Notebook by Christain Lacroix has a layflat construction for ease of use. I love the  classic look black adds to it with a thread of red to give it a little brilliance. Perfect to record special memories or take it with you to that meeting and flaunt your collection!

Christmas Cheer #10: Wendell August Poinsettia Chip and Dip Set ( R+G) - 12/6

This post is a part of Christmas Cheer, a Holiday Gift Event, that will run on my blog from Nov 1-30.

I love to stumble upon companies that were founded way back in 1920's and still going strong. It says a lot about their product "quality" and customer service that has brought them this far. Wendell August is one such company with the heritage that has been passed along to what they proudly own today. 

Wendell August produces hand-wrought ornamental metal ware and elegant gift ware in aluminum and other metals since 1923. They are finely crafted stunning pieces are hand made in USA.

The heritage art of Wendell August Forge is preserved by the company’s artisans and craftsmen, who use the original eight-step process to produce every heirloom piece in aluminum, bronze, pewter, sterling silver, and other metals.This process includes Die Engraving by a master engraver, Material Selection and Cutting, Repousse (Hammering), Surface Anvilling, Edging, Carbon Coloring, a three step polishing process, and Forming. Company artisans create new motifs and designs, while some motifs – like the ever-popular Dogwood – have endured for decades. 

I was given the opportunity to review this Poinsettia Chip and Dip Set.

 And when I received the set, it looked just as beautiful as it looked in the picture. I really admired the carving and the intricate work that simply transformed aluminum into a beautiful piece of gift ware. I can't wait to show it off by serving some home baked goodies in it! The combination of aluminum color is red is very stylish yet the handwork on the tray gives it a classic look. I will be very careful with the bowl so that the pair will remain as beautiful as they are, happily ever-after!

 Wendell August products are all set to please your loved ones this Christmas as you can get your items personalized. Tell them you love them with a sweet message on a beautiful piece! They have a strong online presence and items can be ordered through their website. The Poinsettia Chip and Dip Set sells for $58.

This winter theme flowervase is sure to brighten up any home and add a dash of vibrancy. 

This keepsake photo albums are lavishly wrapped in black velvet and adorned with a generously sized handcrafted aluminum cover. Each holds up to fifty 3" x 5" or 4" x 6" photos in the included pages. Makes a terrific baby shower gift!

 As simple as a bookmark but rich in design and craftsmanship, this Inscriptions Bookmark is sure to be treasured between every page of the book. " The book was great but I couldn't take my eyes off the bookmark!" (chuckle).

 This beautiful cross was love at first sight for me! I would surely buy this for myself. Here's what August Wendell has to say about this cross "The simple cross of Calvary has been the subject of artistic inspiration for decades. Our artisans have created this Dogwood cross in honor of the sacrifice He made for us."

 At Wendell August, you can find gifts for all occasions - Wedding, Baby gifts, Christmas, Anniversary, Baptism, Confirmation, Achievement, Retirement and much more!
