Seasonal Stationery: 2013 Calendars, Part 2

Before we all go running off for the weekend, just a quick note to let you all know that I’ve been busy adding some more beautiful 2013 calendars to the round-up page!

2013 Calendar Round Up via Oh So Beautiful Paper

1. Satsuma Press; 2. Russell + Hazel Smart Deck; 3. Hammerpress; 4. Mr. Boddington’s Studio; 5. Linda + Harriett

Recent additions include updated versions of some of my favorite 2012 calendars along with a bunch of brand new calendars, including the amazing large scale screen printed calendar from Linda + Harriett (above) that I went absolutely gaga for during the National Stationery Show in May and a calendar from Mr. Boddington’s Studio (yay!).  I’m also seriously impressed by the 2013 letterpress calendar from Satsuma Press (above), which features seven (!) jewel tone colors in a modern geometric pattern – I just had to include a detail image above to highlight the intricate design.

Check out all the calendars right here!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  Time is still kind of relative with a one month-old newborn at home, but this weekend really snuck up on me!  This was my husband’s last week of paternity leave, so we’ve been trying to squeeze in some fun activities around DC before he goes back to work.  Luckily Sophie loves to be in the Ergo and pretty much sleeps through an entire outing.  I’ll admit to being kind of nervous about being on my own with Sophie during the day starting next week, but hopefully we’ll get the hang of things without too much trouble.  I’ll find out soon!  But in the meantime…

Seasonal Stationery: 2013 Calendars

I love Fall for a variety of reasons: changing leaves, cooler temperatures, hearty food, and of course the arrival of all the gorgeous calendars for next year!  Naturally, I’ve been eagerly watching my favorite designers roll out their newes calendars over the past few weeks.  This year, I’ve decided to make things a bit easier for all of you by putting my favorite calendars all in one place, from tea towel calendars to desk calendars to write-on wall calendars.  I’ve picked out a few select favorites (so far!) below, but definitely check out the full collection of 2013 calendars right here!

Pretty Paper in the Office: Multi-taskers

Office organization is definitely easier said than done. I have all the accessories to keep my space neat and tidy, but it’s not to say that I always use them. (Otherwise known as “misplacing” things among the mess.) For this month’s Pretty Paper post, I thought I’d give you a selection of some of the best multi-taskers. There’s a place for everything to keep everything in place. Now you won’t be the only one with your hands full around the office.  – Julie

National Stationery Show 2012, Part 12

Aaaaand… with a dozen posts full of paper awesomeness, we’ve reached the final recap of exhibitor booths from this year’s National Stationery Show!  I’m ready for a super long nap as we head into the weekend, but first let’s take a look at some of the final stationery eye candy from the show!  First up, the Smock and Bella Figura booth.  I was super excited to check out the new gift wrap patterns and notebook collection, not to mention some of the new foil printed greeting card and wedding invitation designs!

 

 

 

Smock + Bella Figura

Every year, the Crane & Co. booth looks like a Fifth Avenue storefront – complete with gorgeous window displays inspired by Bergdorf Goodman and other classic department stores!  I always spend a few minutes gazing at the beautiful collection in each display…

 

 

 

 

I’m so happy to see Crane & Co. embracing its extensive history with Americana-inspired stationery collections – they’ve been around since 1801 and have printed stationery for several presidents and even foreign kings and queens!  At the same time, they’re incorporating modern design with bright new color options for the classic Crane & Co. hand bordered correspondence cards.  And is there anything more classic and elegant than white engraved text on red paper?  Beautiful!

Crane & Co.

I’m a big fan of the rustic vibe over at Old School Stationers.  I always love their colorful letterpress art prints, greeting cards, and calendars featuring their signature hand-drawn illustrations!

Nashville-based Erin from Arboreal also has somewhat of a rustic vibe going on, but with a stationery collection largely inspired by Erin’s travels to Italy.  The line includes gift wrap sheets, gift tags, and beautiful boxed note card sets.

 

 

Arboreal

The talented sisters of Spark Letterpress made a return to the Stationery Show with a huge booth full of gorgeous invitations, fun party bunting, and beautiful foil printed certificates and greeting cards.  I’m a longtime fan of the Spark wedding invitation collection, but I’m so happy to see them branching out with more Bar and Bat Mitzvah invitations and other party invitation designs!

L2 Design Collective never fails to make me smile with their colorful screen printed cards and journals.  I’m seriously loving all the new holiday and Halloween card designs, and the bagel and cream cheese card below still makes me laugh!

Envelopments recently collaborated with Kristy Rice of Momental Designs on an exclusive new wedding collection, called Trellis.  Kristy was on hand at the Envelopments booth to talk about the new designs in person.  Kristy creates the most amazing one of a kind hand painted wedding invitations  – and the Trellis collection captures her unique style in such a beautiful way.

That’s it folks!  I hope you enjoyed the recaps from this year’s National Stationery Show!  If you missed any of the last eleven posts or want to check out the booths from last year, you can see all of my stationery show coverage from the last four years right here!
