Orla Kiely Paper - Giveaway + Sneak Preview
[3/26 Update: Due to the overwhelming response this post has generated, I asked my contact to get involved to make this a fully sponsored contest. Orla Kiely Paper will include more goodies so that I can reward 10 decor8 readers. Winners will be announced this Friday so see the details below and comment please.]
A promise is a promise! I mentioned just a few days ago that I would show you the new line of Orla Kiely Paper so here's a sneak preview in pictures. And as a bonus, and I wasn't asked to do this so it's not a sponsored contest or anything, I will send one decor8 reader a few goodies from the loot below just because I feel like sharing. :) Details below.
In the collection, you'll find flip books ($5), composition books ($10-12), spiral notebooks ($17), pocket notebooks ($13), large notebooks ($15), travel journals with stickers ($15), pocket hardbound journals ($25), hardbound address books ($30), and notecards ($17.50). I like all of the attention that went into each item, some have bookmarks, graph paper, vellum inserts, stickers, patterned interior jackets, pockets, it's all very nice. Even the address book comes with replacement labels because people are always on the move.
These aren't yet available in stores, though retailers will soon be listed on the Orla Kiely website and Elizabeth at Twig mentioned this morning that she'll soon be carrying some of the items shown above. The collection will hit stores in the U.S. in April, so keep watching Orla's site for updates. This is exciting news for fans of Ms. Kiely for sure!
To win a few goodies shown in these images, simply comment below with links to decor (home stuff like furniture, accessories, etc.) and stationery stores in your city that you don't currently see in the right column of decor8. If I've covered all your favorites, please comment with stores in other cities that I've missed. Only 1 store or 10, it's up to you. I'll select a random comment and send you a little Orla Kiely Paper gift pack. Please comment by midnight March 27th.

I would love to enter and send you to a great place in my town of Brookings, South Dakota to purchase stationary, but alas there are none. I do enjoy City Limit in Omaha that carries some stationary, but they have no website.
But these are some nice products. And I do enjoy reading your blog.

Nested, in Carrboro, NC, would be a great addition.

I don't see Vivi of Bethesda, MD on your list. I guess that would fit into the Washington DC region.
