It seems like I have been involved in or attending a lot of special events lately. I guess it is that time of year. We always seem to be at a wedding, baby shower, or housewarming party. All of these occasions have me on constant lookout for that special something. While in downtown Franklin recently, I decided to head over to Prim & Paper located at 123 South Margin in search of something unique...that and I must admit that I am a bit of a sucker for paper stores. I am not sure why, but I love stationary. I don't actually use it, but I truly love it - nostalgia, I guess. Anyway, it had been awhile since my last trip and I had almost forgotten what a great little shop this is. They have some great choices for wedding and housewarming gifts. I loved the personalized clear serving trays and glasses - they seem just perfect for a newly married couple. Thinking of housewarming, I found great selections like Trapp candles and then spied some that can be personalized from Solebury as well. Who doesn't use candles??? My favorite for the housewarming bunch of gifts, however, had to be the personalized soap sets. They were a neutral cream color, came in a large variety of scents, and were absolutely adorable - a nice finishing touch in a new home. In terms of gifts, they also have some very cute items for babies. I fell in love with the personalized toddler dishes. They looked like adult versions (yes, they are breakable!), only cuter and divided so that the food doesn't touch - you are laughing as you read that line if you know me!!!
Prim & Paper truly stands out in their stationary and invitations. They have invitations for pretty much every occasion and range from elegant to modern to fun and everything in between. There was a great selection of invites for children's birthday parties, cocktail parties, housewarming parties, backyard barbeques, baby showers, wedding showers, engagement parties, etc. As I was browsing the shelves, I found myself trying to decide what type of gathering that I will be hosting so that I could pick up some great invitations. Prim & Paper is full service and will even help custom design invitations for your event if you can't quite find what you have in mind. If you are coming in to order your invites, don't worry about bringing the little ones....they have a play area where the children can play or watch TV while you finish up your errands. And though they are located in historic downtown Franklin, they have their own parking so you won't have to worry about walking. Be sure to check them out before you host your next event. I am certain that you will find something that you like in this great little place.
