National Stationery Show 2013, Part 4

Today I thought I’d share a couple of big booths from the National Stationery Show that are packed full of awesome stationery: the Ladies of Letterpress and Crow & Canary booths! First up, the Ladies of Letterpress – which is really twelve independent stationers packed into one ginormous booth at the show. I totally forgot to take a wide shot of the full booth this year, but you can check out my 2011 recap for a better idea of the layout. Now on to the letterpress awesomeness!

The ladies of Crow & Canary represent some of the best stationery lines, so it’s no surprise that I always enjoy visiting their booth! There were 14 companies represented in this year’s booth, with lots and lots of fabulous paper goods!

2009 Holiday Cards, Part 1

As you've all noticed, the holiday stationery season is most definitely now in effect.  And since there are so many great designs starting to come out, I'm breaking my holiday card coverage this year up into a few smaller posts over the next few weeks.  So, first up, a perennial favorite Linda & Harriett with a festive holiday collection — featuring a friendly Moose!

Linda-Harriett-Letterpress-Holiday-Cards

Next up, Dutch Door Press, with letterpress cards inspired by the 12 days of Christmas and a few other themes of the holiday season:

These coffee cup holiday cards from Maida Vale are super cute:

I love the blind impression details in these letterpress holiday cards from 12fifteen:

In somewhat holiday-related news, I'll be working on the second and final 2010 calendar round-up over the weekend.  And with all the calendars that have come out over the last couple of weeks, part 2 might end up being even bigger than part 1!  Hopefully I've seen every calendar at this point, but just wanted to put out one last call for any designers who might not have submitted their calendars yet.

Hello, Fall…

It's definitely started to turn into fall here in DC — the temperatures are cooler, the sun is setting earlier, and I'm expecting to see the leaves start to change next.  Halloween and other Fall decorations are everywhere, including these cute little bat coasters from 12fifteen:

And while we're on the subject of Halloween decorations, I love this idea from Martha Stewart about dying eggs for Halloween! Check out the instructions here.

And as promised, I've got the first installment in my 2010 calendar round-ups coming a bit later this morning — so be sure to check back soon!
