I’m planning a bridal shower this July, so I’d love to see bridal shower ideas like party favors, group gift ideas, and cool invitations.
May 1, 2007 at 6:32 pm -

these stationery designs are so cute! Love all of Pinkerton’s stuff!
As for the blog - I think you’re doing a great job as-is! But if I had to give a suggestion, I would love to see more cool cocktail stuff like recipes & presentation ideas. Things like the blik & clingy-thingy drink decals are great too!
May 1, 2007 at 6:42 pm -
I think there might be a mistake - it says the giveaway ends March 4th. May 4th?
May 1, 2007 at 6:44 pm -
Oh, and I love the cards! And the site!
May 1, 2007 at 6:45 pm -
oops! you’re right, sasha!
May 1, 2007 at 6:45 pm
let me go fix that right now… -
modern + stationary?!
May 1, 2007 at 6:45 pm
two of my faves!
love your blog!! -
Being a KY girl, I’d love to see your ideas for a Derby party, since it’s this weekend…any excuse to use those fabulous old sterling julep cups!
May 1, 2007 at 6:48 pm -
beautiful site
Love to see more stationary
& cool organization-toolsThanks!

I just subscribed to hwtm and I really like it. This stationery is great!
May 1, 2007 at 6:53 pm -
I was just scouring the net for cool stationery today - I’d love to win this pack!
I also loved your bridal butterfly shower ideas. Being a soon-to-be-bride and a butterfly fiend, this was right up my alley! So, more party decorating themes and decorating on a budget would be great.
May 1, 2007 at 7:08 pm -
These stationary prints are great! I’ve been meaning to build up my stationary stash and winning these would be perfect!
May 1, 2007 at 7:18 pm -
I’m a paper goods fiend with not enough money to fit my tastes. This is right up my alley… you gotta love those little airplanes.
I’d love to see more off beat party ideas for those not “official” holidays that offer a time to celebrate. Things like the aforementioned Kentucky Derby, Cinco de Mayo, May Day, etc.
May 1, 2007 at 7:20 pm -
I’m with Sarah - the offbeat holidays would be fun. And Cinco de Mayo is this week (no pressure)!
May 1, 2007 at 7:35 pm
-
ummm…ya…so this Saturday is: Cinco de Mayo, the Kentucky Derby, AND the big fight (De La Hoya Vs Mayweather in Vegas). no pressure, huh?
I’m thinking…derby party during the day, fiesta for dinner, and HBO/cocktails for the after party. I’ll see what I can whip together for posts the next couple of days…we’ll at least get you some good recipe ideas and a few cool themed product finds. have you guys noticed that most of the pre-made derby party supplies out there are… not exactly fantastic? (to say the least!) If anyone has some great resources for cool & MODERN equestrian-themed supplies, by all means please send them my way! I’ll be forever grateful! info@hwtm.com. gracias

Hi! I found your site from a link over at –oh joy!– and I really like your posts. I went through your archives and saw the –SpiceBox– post too! I had to say the Pinkerton and Spicebox finds in one day on a great new blog (as I’m new to your blog)makes for a very good day. On the grading scale this is an A+
May 2, 2007 at 4:20 am -
Great designs! I love “paper” candy!
May 2, 2007 at 4:39 am -

May 2, 2007 at 5:05 am -
These are adorable! I am a complete sucker for cute stationary! (leaving a note or two around as a surprise for someone is always good too!)
And I’d love to see categories for easy perusal of your site! I’m in love with everything you post, so it’d be so easy to click, on like recipes, to see your favs!
Keep up the great work!
May 2, 2007 at 5:31 am -
I’d love all the great products you feature on this blog and your website but I’d love to see a “look for less” once in a while where you find something similar to one of your fabulous finds but more pocketbook friendly.
May 2, 2007 at 5:36 am -
i love the graphics on their products! very nice!
May 2, 2007 at 5:55 am -
I’ve been looking for cute notecards and I think the search is over! These are adorable.
May 2, 2007 at 5:58 am -
These are too cute! Very fresh designs.
May 2, 2007 at 5:59 am
I would love to see more “theme” ideas for parties. -
I really like this blog and your website. I would like more party ideas, such as themed parties (Kentucky Derby, Halloween) and more wedding ideas for those on a budget!
May 2, 2007 at 6:04 am -
Just found hwtm recently, and I love it! Such great products and ideas!
May 2, 2007 at 6:08 am -
Given my current (engaged) state, I’m always interested in more wedding information…but you’re doing a fantastic job with hwtm! Love the site!
May 2, 2007 at 6:12 am -
I’d love to find more gift ideas.
May 2, 2007 at 6:14 am -
These cards are beautiful! Also, I’d love to see more guest bloggers to keep throwing new and unusual ideas into the mix.
May 2, 2007 at 6:33 am -
Love the cards! Very cool. Love the blog! I’d enjoy seeing more ideas on casual entertaining.
May 2, 2007 at 6:50 am
Thanks for all you post! -
Such cute stationary! I’ll have to get some. My guy is a med student and I am constantly leaving him little notes when I travel for work. These would be prefect!
Keep up the good work - blog is great! Looking forward to fresh summer ideas!
May 2, 2007 at 6:57 am -
need more cards! i always do! pick me!
May 2, 2007 at 7:05 am -
Beautiful site. I love seeing product features, there are so many great finds out there I’ve found from yours and other blogs!
May 2, 2007 at 7:14 am -
See, this is how I love to do pattern. It’s noncommittal, unlike a 96″ sofa!
The correspndence cards are absolutely beautiful. How fun it would be to get one in the mail. Great giveaway idea!

May 2, 2007 at 7:18 am -
I’ve been looking for fun wedding invites and patterns…and I love the modern look of these!
May 2, 2007 at 7:19 am -
Very pretty cards!
May 2, 2007 at 7:29 am -
I love all things paper…these are great! As far as the blog, I always appreciate budget friendly ideas.
May 2, 2007 at 7:30 am -
oh my goodness! So cute and mod!
May 2, 2007 at 8:00 am -
wow - these comments & suggestions are great! so far I’m seeing a trend in wanting to see more wedding stuff, stationery items, budget-friendly ideas, and theme party ideas. all very good to know
Christy - great idea on the “look for less”. Kind of like when magazines show a $600 dress and then a similar style for $50, right? This would be fun, we can definitely start doing this
Gersoncurse - you’re 100% right about the categories. I’ve actually started working on it - it’s just taking a while since every post has to be republished once it’s labeled :0 but I agree it will make the blog a much better resource and it should be done sometime next week
thanks for the suggestions, everyone! keep ‘em coming!
May 2, 2007 at 8:10 am -
I love stationery! And these designs are so cute!
One thing I’d love to see more of on this blog are hostess gift ideas. I think being a gracious guest is often just as important as throwing a great party!

May 2, 2007 at 8:51 am -
Love this giveaway! Beautiful designs…It would be great to see hostess gifts as well as gift ideas for bridesmaids or for parties among best friends. I plan parties all the time to keep friends across the country close and would love to see some novel and pretty gift ideas.
May 2, 2007 at 9:00 am -
Oh wow! these are so pretty!
May 2, 2007 at 9:08 am -
Would love these, thanks for entering me! With regards to your question, I’m always looking for wedding stuff as my wedding is next summer. Particularly cheap finds, indie stuff that I’d never find on my own, anything Canadian, stationery products and table/room decor ideas.
May 2, 2007 at 9:18 am -
Lovely cards! I especially like the “cheers” one. I think you’re doing a fantastic job with this blog. I too would love to see more “theme party” ideas, esp. for cinco de mayo!
May 2, 2007 at 9:20 am -
I am a notecard addict and have trouble giving them away if I like them too much (I usually wind up framing them). So please enter me!
I love your blog, but wouldn’t mind seeing more entries on where to find unique invitations.

Ah! I just thought about ordering from Pinkerton & had to postpone because it didn’t fit in this month’s budget. I’m a grad student & since I study domesticity & etiquette, I tend to be a stickler for correspondence. I lovelovelove sending cards & notes through the mail, people are always so thrilled to receive a real letter or card these days!
May 3, 2007 at 12:09 pm -
These cards are amazing!! A must-have on my list for sure!
May 3, 2007 at 12:23 pm -
