National Stationery Show 2014, Part 8

More from the 2014 National Stationery Show! I’m always impressed by the amount of exhibitor preparation that goes into the show each year, from booth design to logistics to the most important part – product design! Meg from Belle & Union debuted a ton of new products this year (you saw a few of them in this sneak peek), from brand new aprons and tea towel designs to heirloom wood recipe boxes to greeting cards and state fair notebooks. Whew!

The Brainstorm booth was a big hit, with a gorgeous hand painted mural and a brand new collection of houseplant prints! I have a feeling the fiddle leaf fig and maidenhair fern prints will be particularly popular. I’m also completely smitten with the new illustrated map print of U.S. National Parks!

With tons of bright neon, it was impossible to miss the debut booth from screen printing artist Sue Jean Ko. Many of her designs are available as both 8 x 10″ art prints and folded greeting cards!

The booth from Gilah Press and Design was packed full of fantastic letterpress stationery and art prints! I’m loving the calligraphy silver foil holiday cards (I always love silver for the holidays) and beautiful edge painted boxed stationery sets.

The Great Lakes Goods is doing some seriously amazing things with objects and hanging decor – from the new large scale wood moon and stars to dipped wood cones (so great as jewelry holders). And how fun are the neon geometric notecards??

I’ve been a fan of the sweet illustrated stationery from Isabell’s Umbrella for a while now – it was so great to finally see it all in person in the new Fresh section of the National Stationery Show!

I’m not normally drawn to photo-based greeting cards, but I love the fresh take (and gorgeous imagery) in the collection of cards, gift tags, and art prints from Modern Lore. Several of the new designs pair beautiful photographs with copper foil text – so good!

I’ll fully admit to being a crazy cat lady and I’m pretty sure my husband would be a crazy dog man if our cats would let one in the house – so of course we had to stop by the Riverdog Prints booth!

Happy Weekend!

It’s time! The National Stationery Show is here! Tomorrow I’ll hop on a train up to New York, but for now I’m busy packing and making final preparations for my annual Paper Party next week! With all the hustle and bustle of the show itself, the Paper Party is a fun way for exhibitors, retailers, and other stationery folks to relax and socialize outside of the Javits Center. I’ve been honored to host this party for the past few years, and this year I’m so excited to be working with an amazing team of sponsors to bring this party to life! I can’t wait to share everything with all of you soon, but I wanted to give a special advance thanks to Mohawk, Minted, Etsy Wholesale, Smock, Mailchimp, Postable, Snow & Graham, Legion Paper, Hester & Cook Design Group, Gilah Press + Design, and Ladies of Letterpress for being such awesome partners! But in the meantime…

Happy Friday everyone! I have two quick NSS sneak peeks to share with you today, and a couple more to share over the weekend! First up for today, the uber-talented Meg of Moglea. Meg’s line features her unique hand lettering along with hand drawn illustrations and patterns, from letterpress greeting cards to edge painted notepads and dip dye gift tags to gift wrap.

Next up, the ever-sweet ladies of Sugarcube Press with tons of fabulous letterpress goodies! This year’s collection includes a letterpress art print clipboard calendar, complete with a tear-off to do list!, and new DIY rubber stamp kits. The ladies also have a bit of a mixology theme this year, with a monthly letterpress cocktail coaster calendar featuring a different hand-illustrated drink and lettering with the month on back, and a DIY mixology gift box set with twelve illustrated drink coasters and a bar book of hand crafted cocktails. So fun!
