Paper Anthology has weathered Winter Storm Diaz and will re-open tonight with normal Friday evening hours from 5-9pm. Shari’s Mistletoe Magic Class is proceeding as scheduled from 6-9; students who happen to own a Wendy Vecchi STAY-tion are requested to bring it along with them to class.
Paper Anthology will be closed this evening, Thursday, December 15th due to winter weather conditions. We HOPE to be open tomorrow evening (Friday 12/16) but it all depends what Winter Storm Diaz throws down tonight and tomorrow. Stay tuned to this blog (and our social media pages) for updates. Members of Shari’s “Mistletoe Magic” class, which is scheduled to take place Friday evening from 6-9pm, will receive an email if we need to cancel. Please email any questions or concerns to elisabeth@paperanthology.com. Meanwhile we plan to KEEP WARM AND CRAFT ON and hope you’ll do the same! ♥
Not only did we have the most participants ever in this year’s Paper Anthology Holiday Card Swap, the cards themselves are also record-settingly beautiful, clever and inspiring. Many thanks to everyone who participated, your Swap Cards are waiting, you can pick them up any time the store is open: Saturday 10-5; Monday 10-2; Tuesday 10-15 and Thursday and Friday evening, 5-9pm.
If you didn’t participate, don’t worry, we’ll have a Holiday Swap again next year AND… maybe even another swap before then, on a different theme? As usual, any new events will be announced here on the PA Blog, so stay tuned for updates.

Just a reminder to our 2022 Holiday Card Swap participants, please drop off your five cards before 5pm this coming Saturday, December 3rd. We’ve got a record number of twenty-one swappers this year, and based on the three or four early-bird drop-offs we’ve seen so far, the cards are more clever and beautiful than ever. By the way, if you make an optional 6th card, we’ll be proud to display it in the store for everyone to see and admire!
PS: The cards in the photo above feature Prima Marketing’s Candy Cane Lane collection, now available in-store.
