We have recently got a few new items in from Cavallini. These stamps are a new mini size which are perfect for taking everywhere with you.  I thought they would be good for people who are about to go traveling and want to keep a creative journal as they go. Cavallini have also finally brought out some lovely new paper tape designs, they still come packaged in a sweet little tin so after the tape has all gone you still have a cute vintage style tin to store keepsakes in.

I came across Elsa Mora via a brilliant book called Paper Cutting by Laura Heyenga, Rob Ryan and Natalie Avella. Its no secret that I truly love paper craft so I was excited to find another artist who uses paper in such a creative and beautiful way. You should have a look at Elsa's website to view all of her amazing pieces.

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!

I think you are going to like this new addition to The Paper Parlour. I have loved this company for ages and I am so please that we have just got some amazing items in from Rifle Paper Co. Every single item is just as lovely as I thought they would be. Actually the images do not do them justice in terms of the quality of paper and finish. Rifle Paper Co. is a boutique stationery brand and design studio based in Florida. The products all feature whimsical designs which often include hand-painted illustrations and lettering creating a nostalgic and timeless look.

We have just got some new items in from Meri Meri. These new cupcake boxes and kits are perfect for completing homemade gifts for your loved ones.

We also have this super sweet card from Five Dollar Shake! I am afraid this image does not do the card justice. The background is pearlescent, the teabags are filled with glitter and the heart at the top is embellished with red diamantes!
