The Spotlight: Three Little Birds

Three Little Birds is a stationary shop tucked in the South End area of Charlotte. I love stationary and got my fix at Three Little Birds. Check out some of my most recent purchases:

There are small trinkets (i.e. bags, coasters, etc), boxed cards and even better: custom-made stationary located in this cozy store! Most customers are brides-to-be but the company also services corporate businesses and the average Joe looking for extra special business cards, party invitations or the like.

With hundreds of papers, fonts and ribbons, Three Little Birds creations are sure to please the eye and owner Kristen Stewart aims to please each customer she encounters.

When visiting the store, be sure to check out the sales table that usually has great items up to 50% off and ask about the wedding workshops and lunch and learn events for small business owners. You can also visit the Three Little Birds blog here for details on their workshops and events, as well as see examples of their work.
