Baby, Baby, Baby, Oh

We're back!

There's been so much activity lately at the shop - summer sale, inventory updates, construction for our ice cream parlor - and we've hardly had time to breathe, let alone blog. Sad, right? But no worries: we're back and ready to start sharing all of the fun new stuff we're getting on our shelves every week!

Have you noticed that there's a baby boom right around September-October of every year? It seems like all that winter snuggling results in the pitter-patter of little feet in the fall for lots of folks. And if you know someone who's welcoming a new baby, we've got a couple of really cute new gift items you'll want to scoop up!

(the Plumbers are gone - insert sad face here - no more eye candy :))

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...


and


We'll be open Wednesday!!!

I least i get to look at Cute Plumbers!!
