So, I've been looking around to add to some of my collections with the metallic gold trend right now...which ones are your favorite?
Currently, I have the Shimelle collection with American Crafts, the Jen Hadfield collection with Pebbles, the Necessities line from My Mind's Eye, and the older Maggie Holmes line that had some metallic gold embellishments.
So...what else should I stock in the store that looks good to you guys?
I've been looking at some Theresa Collins, but generally her stuff doesn't sell as well here in my LSS.

I like the pictures I have seen of the new Maggie Holmes Open Book, but I generally like everything she does. The floral ephemera looks amazing! It almost reminds me of my beloved Sassafras foldie flowers. The MME Necessities vellum is AMAZING. I love the gold dot so much I actually ordered 4 additional sheets and I do NOT buy more than 1-2 sheets of anything anymore, ever! MME Market Street- Ashbury Heights has some beautiful foiled papers and embellishments (Nob Hill does too if you like a more masculine/neutral colourway). I haven't purchased much of the Shimelle line aside from the sticker book (and pen set), but I love the gold foil in that. I am seriously eyeing the Heidi Swapp mini PL kit in gold foil even though I don't do PL because I would use it in regular scrapping it is that cute! They are a bit older, but I have purchased numerous packs of Studio Calico necessities packs of gold Chipboard shapes. These are PERFECT for so many things, I have bought hearts, stars and cameras.

I second Maggie's Open Book line- lots of gold alphas, stickers- I would wait to get your gold fix there. That's what I'm going to do  |

You should check out MME's Market Street and Nob Hill line.

Thanks for the tip about this vellum impearia. It looks gorgeous! |

I'm probably a little late to the party but I just started using gold embellishments and I love the look. I checked out the Maggie Holmes line and I saw a few must haves. Can't wait.

Well, it's not a paper collection, but I just found Krylon metallic gold spray paint, and wow, that stuff is fun and sooooo pretty, it matches the gold metallic paper collections well! So far I've just used it on wood pieces, but I'm sure the possibilities are endless.

Maybe my answer isn't totally relevant, but if you want/need metallic gold foil doilies, you can pick them up in different sizes at grocery stores.

That's interesting that Teresa Collins products do not sell well at your store.
She has a ton of gold lines/products that are out there from We R Memory Keepers to her own lines including a Christmas line.
Some suggestions:
Little B has some decorative gold tape (aka washi tape) that are beautiful.
Bo Bunny has some gold glitter paste if you're interested in mixed media.
Story of Us Collection by Simple Stories has gold/silver colors in that line.
