What’s a girl from New Jersey supposed to do in Nashville, Tennessee?
Open a modern, New York inspired stationery store in a very southern town, of course! Owner, Lauren Rauter moved to Nashville in 1998 after marrying the love of her life, Tim, her college sweetheart. With a degree in Textiles and Clothing, a burning desire to have her own store, and not many fashion opportunities in Nashville, Lauren dreamed up a stationery store that would bring downtown New York to downtown Franklin (a suburb of Nashville).
Over dinner at their favorite Indian restaurant, Tim blurted out the name, Rock Paper Scissors during a brain-storming session. And just like that Rock Paper Scissors was born. They believe:
- Paper is a lifestyle
- The Barefoot Contessa can do no wrong
- There’s no excuse not to send a thank-you note
- The Discovery Channel rocks
- Every guest room should have a notepad on the night stand
- A cute apron can make you cook better
- The wrapping paper is better than the gift
- A loaf of French bread and pat of butter can make you feel better
- Gift bags are lazy
- Nantucket is the best place on earth
- And… As far as gifts go… anything paper is perfect!
Rock Paper Scissors is my dream store. And the best part, I can buy anything I want from the store online. Their website makes it very easy. So, what are my favorites?
For starters, the Personalized Super Notepad from Dabney Lee at Home. I have one in my office now and I cannot wait to get another for the house.
For $45.00 you can personalize your very own Super Notepad. 175 sheets of fabulous paper with your favorite Dabney signature swatch on each and every page. The Super Notepad measures 5.5″ x 8.5″.
Just follow these simple instructions on the website and you will be on your way to the most stylish desk in town.
1. Pick a style swatch
2. Pick a monogram or name plate
3. Pick a color swatch for your monogram or name plate
4. Scribble, jot and write
Within 2 weeks your notepad will be direct shipped to you and ready for scribbles.
A gift is not a gift without an impeccable wrap job. 
In my mind, presentation is everything.
The Peculiar Pair Press Patisserie Gift Wrap Set is perfect for the gal who loves to wrap. Whether you are an expert or beginner wrapper, this set is perfect for any wrapping occasion.
For $24.95 your gift wrap kit includes:
- 20 sheets of wrapping paper (17-3/4 by 27-1/2 inches) in four designs
- 20 gift tags
- 2 rolls of ribbon (2 colors, 9 feet each)

Gift giving made fun. What more could a girl ask for?
Rock Paper Scissors also specializes in party planning, well the custom invitation part of the party. They have wide variety of invitations that are sure to make your party unique. My favorite is the Garden Chandelier Invitation, it is perfect for a bridal shower or just a special luncheon with your friends.

Skip Hop Studio Diaper Tote Handbag is awesome.So several wallets – and also not those modest, worthless pockets, either. Almost all of the pockets are a good dimension and actually assist keep everything organized. The handles are a fantastic length and fit nicely over the actual shoulder; the tackle shoulder straps additionally stay place on my shoulder, which is actually important as soon as you’re taking a child. The bag appears wonderful, too. Not as well fancy, but not too casual. (I’ve it in black) The material is soft (can’t consider of a superior word) so it is easy to squeeze in to tight spaces – but yet it’s sturdy. I’ve a Fleurville Lexi carrier and I really like it, too, but this tote is actually kind of inflexible. I believe this Skip*Hop can turn out to be my everyday handbag. It’s a bit significant – so if you’re not in to substantial hand bags this may well be better as an over-night baby diaper bag.
