    PAPERS & PRESENTS POPS UP
    AT THE STREET
    AND LAUNCHES THE COUNTRY’S
    FIRST STATIONERY BOUTIQUE ON WHEELS

    Papers & Presents rolls into and pops up at The Street this Friday, May 20th. As part of its activation, Papers & Presents will officially launch Penelope, the country’s first stationery boutique on wheels, to the public and will offer a comprehensive gift shop experience through The Pop-Up. The adorable, custom-made truck will be parked directly in front of Papers & Presents at The Pop-Up (3 Boylston Street, next to Star Market and MiniLuxe). Perfectly timed to graduation and wedding season, Papers & Presents is open daily, Friday, May 20, 2016 through June 13, 2016 from 10am-6pm.

    Between The Pop-Up and Penelope, the Papers & Presents shopping experience at The Street will offer a colorful selection of customizable gifts, party supplies and stationery that is expertly curated by owner Carolyn McCoy. McCoy started her business in 1988, selling stationery, invitations, and birth announcements via the trunk of her car. After running a beloved storefront in Wellesley for 16 years, McCoy recently closed her shop and created Penelope to allow for maximum freedom and flexibility.

    Penelope is a beautiful and petite 90 square feet. She features a skylight, hardwood floors, Jonathan Adler upholstery, a custom bookcase with uplighting, and a desk and bulletin board chock full of stationery and invitation displays.

    Popular items found both within The Pop-Up and Penelope include catchy cocktail napkins (like those that read Rosé all day), fleece blankets with college logos that can be customized with students initials and class year, monogrammed totes, laundry bags, Lucite trays, catchalls, clutches, accessories, and of course an array of personalized stationary, classic correspondence cards, and notepads. Papers & Presents can also monogram gifts purchased elsewhere.

  • Don’t ask for a job, Ask for advice…

    Don’t ask for a job, Ask for advice…

    “No matter how difficult your life may be, there is a path forward,” says Miller in his new book, Moppin’ Floors to CEO: From Hopelessness and Failure to Happiness and Success. “This is not a book about some quick tips to change your life, but rather about my true journey from feeling hopeless, despondent, and a failure, to transforming my life into one filled with much joy, happiness and success.”

    Miller’s advice includes:

    • No matter where you start, you can find success and achieve your goals.
    • The importance of having great mentors—reaching for help when you need it, and creating opportunities for those who need guidance.
    • Why the best piece of advice he ever received was, “don’t ask for a job, ask for advice.”
    • You need to have faith and believe in yourself. The biggest difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is the belief that they can turn their dreams into reality.
    • Why success is the best form of revenge.
