Michelle Arnett's Favorite Things
Stationer Michelle Arnett shares her favorite home goods
Creative Blu, the cool custom-design stationery line launched by Michelle Arnett in 2001, found its inspiration in the marriage of her hand-finishing skills and her art director husband’s design expertise. The couple fused their talents to create their own line of handmade wedding invitations, stationery, custom business cards, and other posh paper wares crafted from unique materials like dried flowers, feathers, and Swarovski crystals. (You can check out the line at creativeblu.net.) Here, Arnett lets us in on the stylish accessories she keeps at home.
