I have become slightly obsessed with bird motifs and I think it is due to my need for Spring to arrive! I came across this first image via Pinterest. The combination of birds and cross stitch made my head spin!

Below is another colourful and cute birdy Pinterest find. I think his/her colours are beautiful. Next up is a plate from Anthropologie. My grandma always had cockatiels growing up and now I am weirdly drawn to any imagery with them in, which is exemplified again in the image above. The final image came from photographer Luke Stephenson, it is part of a brilliant collection called The Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds.

Below are some Papaya Art Panels featuring lovely bird motifs combined with another of my favourite things... glitter! Click here to view more.

This post is dedicated to the almighty Season of Spring, please feel free to join us... now!

We have just taken delivery of some new items and stock from Papaya Art. The star attraction has to be the new perforated notepads! We have also re-stocked many of the old favourites!

Sorry for the lack of new blogs over the last few weeks. We have been very busy making sure all The Paper Parlour Christmas orders are shipped out to everyone. I have also had a major problem with a laptop and a broken hard drive!! The laptop is on the mend now though so I think I should show you some new items we have had delivered in the last few weeks! Below we have Papaya Art Moon & Back Spiral Notebook, Love Feather Gift Tags, Love Feather Spiral Notebook and Butterfly Rays Large Journal.

We have just got in the new Love Who You Are Sketch and Scribble notebook. The set includes two notebooks, one  book is lined and one is unlined and they are packaged together using bakers twine. Each notebook is embellished with gold foil details.

AND we have also have some new Papaya Art Glitter Sticker Sets in Tins!! We now have the Love Who You Are & Big Deal sticker sets in.

Above we have the Nightshade 2013 Diary, Fancy Elephant 2013 Diary, Feather Love 2013 Diary, Starlet 2013 Diary, Owl Dreamer 2013 Diary and Lucky Feather 2013 Diary. All the diaries feature four vibrant cover designs with gold foil accents. The diary inside can slide out so it is easy to take everywhere with you. Also there is a six pocket accordion storage folder.

We are going scrapbooking mad here at The Paper Parlour! Whether it's a scrapbook, memory book, scrap book album or photograph album we are finding that if it isn't stuck down it soon will be. We have just got some brilliant scrapbooks in this week in two different sizes and in an array of colours. The MT Tape and Cavallini Paper Tape are great for sticking polaroids/photographs, maps and tickets down in Cavallini stamps and Papaya Art glitter stickers decorate around the edges and space in between.

We have some glittery gift bags from Papaya Art in for you to package gifts in style.

We have finally had delivery of new items from Papaya Art! Please keep checking back in with us as we are expecting more items over the next few weeks. We have numerous spiral notebooks, postcard sets, celebratory banners and art panel prints galore.

These are great to use in a practical sense but they are also incredibly pretty and creatively packaged. They are great for writing down reminders and sticking in places you are sure not to miss! Plus you can save pages in books and magazines without damaging the paper. Please click here to purchase these sticky notes from Papaya, Cavallini and Gorjuss.

Hello! I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. We have been quite busy here getting some new Papaya Art products in. We have the cutest Papaya Sticky Notes and glittery stickers and note cards!
