I just finished reading the biography of Florence Broadhurst that we just got in. She was an innovative wallpaper designer from Australia in the 60's who had a very mysterious life and death. It's a great book, so interesting to read about this mastermind who, out of no where started a spectacular wallpaper business, and of course to see the prints is so inspiring. Anyway, you should definitely come in and check out the book.

In the new issue of Elle Decor UK, there is a story on designer Lisa Whatmough of Squint. I want it all!

oooh--Fun Contest!!

Hello bon bons!

Well, as hard as it is to believe, next month our sparkly little store will have been open for 1 year! To mark the occasion we are having a Official bon bon Tshirt Design Contest! We want you to design a t-shirt that is adorable, fabulous and the very essence of bon bon....then we will be selling them at our Birthday Party in July with a portion of the proceeds going to charity. As winner you will receive a $50.00 gift certificate, t-shirt (of course!), a lot of flattery and a permanent place in the bon bon atelier hall of fame!

Entries need to be in by July 1st, 2007. They will be judged on design quality, creativity and how well they represent bon bon atelier - so get going!

If I knew you were coming......

I'd have cleared out my closet. Retro Betty is here. All green with pom poms, shouldn't you welcome her into your home? $118.00

Whimsy Press

Hello bon bons! I know that it has been a long time inbetween posts, but we have been busy here at the store. We rearranged (again), created a Jolly Holliday themed window, have been working on our apparel for the 18th st fashion show, and of course been running the store! However, we are super excited to welcome Whimsy Press gift wrap to the store! This 2-sided paper is amazingly cute. It has two different patterns on each side of the sheet and is heavy enough to reuse (if you can resist ripping the paper off your gift!) In fact, one of our customers bought some last week and has used the same sheet 3 times since then! Or, you can tack it to the wall like wallpaper as we did in our new window. And I'm sure there are a million other uses. We also got their stickers, notepads and pompoms!

Jungden's jewels

This necklace is by one of our new local designers Emily Jungden--who does the most amazing enamel work ever. She has just brought in a new shipment, and although it is flying out of the store, there are still some choice pieces left--definitely worth a look!
