Janet Hill‘s charming interpretation of a party tabletop would go perfectly in the Whitney English offices. I would love to have one of her originals!
Update
It’s been a while since we last updated! In the middle of weddings, birthday celebrations, shipping out new product and new albums, markets, holidays and projects, blogging plans were set aside. But we’re trying to get back in the swing of things! So, what have we been doing? We planned the “forgotten” quarterly birthday celebration….
Stationery Inspiration
As you may have guessed, we love stationery. We love what it represents: the care and thought and planning put into ordering invitations, the personal touch and time taken to write a thank you note, the joy of sharing and receiving letters and cards and photographs during the holiday season. Who doesn’t love getting real…
National Stationery Show Wrap Up
During one of the few slow moments we had at the show, we managed to take some pictures of our new products as displayed in our booth: Following the pictures clockwise from the top left (which is like walking around our aisle-side table), you can see our coasters, our match boxes, our signature candle…
National Stationery Show Prep
Well, it’s almost here: the National Stationery Show. It always surprises me how fast it comes around again every year, but I have to give props to the Whitney English/Hicks Paper Goods team: this year, we are prepared. Friday morning, five of us will get on a plane to head to New York City to…
Country Living’s Women Entrepreneurs 2009
Last spring, Whitney attended the Country Living’s Women Entrepreneurs 2008 Event and had a blast! This event provides a unique opportunity for women entrepreneurs to mingle, network, sit in on relevant and insightful seminars, and pitch their product or service to Country Living. Because we truly believe that this event is worth attending, we wanted…
Ohmygoodness!! I loved this! I so needed this message today! Thank you. Loving your video blog posts. Xoxo
I love it too! I gave it some thought this morning and asked myself the “why” question as it pertains to my artwork. Immediately I came up with a whole bunch of words and reasons that describe my work…things I’ve been thinking or feeling but haven’t put into words until now. It’s amazing how many “why’s” there are for us creatives! I love to think about it as it really gives purpose to everything I do.
Can’t wait for more thoughtful videos Whitney!
I enjoyed this video and the advice so much! It’s not really easy at all to be different, creative, valued. I try to be myself everyday and to do and show the best of me, I think that’s to be different, a little bit.
Thank you! This is truly adorable!
Loved this! New to watching these (although they seem like a new route for you too!) I will be thinking about my WHY a lot today!
I think you should continue your videos. Written words can be inspiring, but these videos make is even more special hearing from you. Love that Beaton quote? I purchased two of your Day Designers (alerted to them by designer Toby F) and they are terrific–almost too beautiful to write in them! Please continue these with your new business. I wish you much success.
PS: I meant an exclamation mark, not question mark! Type-o. Sorry.
I love this. Focusing on your PURPOSE is everything, and I hope you keep these videos up. You are so inspiring!
