It is about 3 weeks old now, sorry for the delay, had to go to Maui.<br /><br />Andrew at <a href="http://www.icawning.com/">International Awnings</a> did an AMAZING job on our awning, and we've lost count at how many people have come in recently asking about how old the store is! We always say it has been here for about 35 years, and we don't mean it in any condescending way, the truth is we have been here that long!<br /><br />Another shot of the new awning:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_f1FsjFemlkg/SGhqW6Zc6QI/AAAAAAAAACc/yffvYg3n4uQ/s1600-h/IMG_0754.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_f1FsjFemlkg/SGhqW6Zc6QI/AAAAAAAAACc/yffvYg3n4uQ/s320/IMG_0754.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217537110174394626" border="0" /></a><br />And one more from the other side:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_f1FsjFemlkg/SGhqjguhV6I/AAAAAAAAACk/zZeu5Gdar9c/s1600-h/IMG_0756.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_f1FsjFemlkg/SGhqjguhV6I/AAAAAAAAACk/zZeu5Gdar9c/s320/IMG_0756.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217537326621743010" border="0" /></a><br />Nothing like new stuff to make it all worth it!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/795326148723300994-4036189989449236696?l=thedeskset-sf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Desk Sethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17891404137101552004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795326148723300994.post-2480933578469213902008-06-04T21:19:00.000-07:002008-06-04T21:30:32.593-07:00Here is the first of a few posts about new products we've got in the shop that I found at the National Stationery Show back in May.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_f1FsjFemlkg/SEdptuEu_1I/AAAAAAAAABs/e6S6b1hGqDc/s1600-h/IMG_0745.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_f1FsjFemlkg/SEdptuEu_1I/AAAAAAAAABs/e6S6b1hGqDc/s320/IMG_0745.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208247728260185938" border="0" /></a><br />These are some of the <span style="font-style: italic;">NEW</span> letterpress cards by a company called <a href="http://www.leadgraffiti.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lead Graffiti</span></a> out of Newark, Delaware.<br /><br />Their booth was tucked a little bit out of the way, and I only found them as I <span style="font-weight: bold;">have </span>to walk the ENTIRE show. This means aisles and aisles of stationery. Which sounds like fun.

It is one of the more exciting things about the shop - its like Christmas whenever new stuff arrives. And I love Christmas. Well, at least the present opening part.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/795326148723300994-248093357846921390?l=thedeskset-sf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Desk Sethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17891404137101552004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795326148723300994.post-5505058416660073852008-05-08T21:51:00.000-07:002008-05-08T21:56:00.968-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_f1FsjFemlkg/SCPZPZzZdhI/AAAAAAAAAA0/ktqZ655BtLs/s1600-h/IMG_0730.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_f1FsjFemlkg/SCPZPZzZdhI/AAAAAAAAAA0/ktqZ655BtLs/s320/IMG_0730.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198237253563414034" border="0" /></a><br />I guess this is as good a time to start this blog as any.<br />After 2.5 years of owning The Desk Set, we are getting a new awning!<br />I don't know how long the existing awning has been up there, but this new one will incorporate our logo. And be black, not green. And the logo will be visible to people walking, not just those in the sky. The exisiting awning did get tagged last year, and is now falling apart. So all good reasons to get a new awning. And it was totally a lot less expensive than I thought it would be.<br />So for posterity: the old awning as shown above.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/795326148723300994-550505841666007385?l=thedeskset-sf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Desk Sethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17891404137101552004noreply@blogger.com0
