Closed for Construction

So last week we leaked a picture of our new ice cream counter. A lot of you may be wondering..what does ice cream have to do with stationery and gift wrap?? Well in our world its all so cute and yummy and we thought why not combine the two. ( Cute and Sweet stationery products and sweet treats for you to eat!!

So we partnered up with Southern Girl Desserts and then decided that we wanted to add ice cream to the mix and well.... in just a few weeks - Cordially Invited will open the brand new Souther Girl Desserts Dessert bar..right inside of the store - bringing you yummy cupcakes, pies, bananna pudding, cobblers..oh and Ice Cream too!!

But to get to this point - we've had to cross lots of red tape( read LA CIty and LA County) and we are almost there....but we have to close for the next TWO days to finish up some contruction...(read cut a trench 6 feet long in my beautiful glazed concrete floors)


But we're doing all this so we can bring you...

We'll be open Wednesday!!!

I least i get to look at Cute Plumbers!!
