I’m Obsessed…..
I'm obsessed with our new cookie line. (Did you think I was going to say the new Louis Vuitton shoes? I am obsessed with them too but that's for another day!).

Delicious goodness in each bite, these shortbread cookies are topped with lemon sugar icing and of course the Hampton Paper image of your choice! Perfect for party … [Read more...] about I’m Obsessed…..
Holy Griswold!
Yes, summer vacation for many means the traditional family vacation. I visualize the Griswold family driving cross country in their station wagon with Aunt Edna tied to the roof and "Holiday Road" blaring in the back ground. Whether you are headed to the beach or lake, across the country or all the way to Cairo like my friend and realtor … [Read more...] about Holy Griswold!
Pen & Pencil
With the recent launch of my blog I have been struggling to think of a name. "The Pressure, The Pressure of a Name" (can you guess what movie line is that is from?!!) My fellow bloggers are so creative and all seem to have found a name that fits perfectly into the theme of their store or style. So what to name the HPD blog has been haunting me.

Carrie and the City
Yes, that's the G-rated name for the show and movie in our house! I don't know about you but I have been counting down the days until I can go see the movie.

Dress the Part!
One of my dream jobs when I was younger was to be an editor at Glamour Magazine- the one who recommends the hottest new products. Of course this was in addition to working on B-Way at Bloomingdale's in NYC and owning my own stationery company! It is after this trip down memory lane that I realized I MUST share some of my favorite fashion finds for spring. I struggled to find a way to incorporate … [Read more...] about Dress the Part!
Happy Mother's Day from Hampton Paper Designs! Mother's Day reminds me of many great "moms" including my own, my 2 grandmothers and of course, my great-grand mother Marie Bendel whom we affectionally called "Mimi". Mimi lived in Monroe, Louisiana and had a huge Magnolia tree in her back yard. When we would visit, my sister, Meri, and I would look forward to going with her to pick Magnolia flowers. … [Read more...] about

Can Glitter Be Stressful?
Can Glitter Be Stressful? You bet it can! For me, it was the search for the perfect colors for the Hampton Paper 2011 Calendar we create exclusively for The Elegant Setting in Southampton. I seek perfection (hence the name of my autobiography Perfectville) so it took many hours (yes hours) to choose just the right shades for the calendar. This calendar features many images that were custom painted … [Read more...] about Can Glitter Be Stressful?
