National Stationery Show 2015, Part 4

Etsy Wholesale is one of the most exciting things to happen in the wholesale world in recent years, and I’m so excited to see Etsy Wholesale building a presence at trade shows like the National Stationery Show and NYNOW. For this year’s National Stationery Show, Etsy Wholesale had a dedicated section of two rows within the show – along with their own booth showcasing products from Etsy Wholesale sellers throughout the show. I was beyond thrilled to curate a wall of products from the Etsy Wholesale section! It was so fun to discover new exhibitors in the Etsy Wholesale section and see familiar faces proudly displaying their Etsy Wholesale badges across the show floor!

Pretty Paper in the Office: Erasers

Sure, erasers only come in handy every now and then for the average person. But for those of us who use one regularly, or want to be sure to have one on hand, there may be more options out there than you think. Like most office supplies these days, erasers come in many styles so that whether sitting pretty —and at times inconspicuously — on your desk, or as part of your toolkits, there’s something for everyone. – Julie

National Stationery Show 2015, Part 3

If you love color, you’re going to LOVE today’s recap from the 2015 National Stationery Show! From bright explosions of neon to understated pastels, each of the following stationers incorporated color (and more than a few pops of gold foil) into their booths in a major way. Let’s start with Parrott Design Studio – Sarah’s booth design with colorful oversized acrylic hearts was one of my favorites from the entire show! Sarah incorporated those same colors throughout her new designs, from letterpress and gold foil greeting cards to laser cut cake toppers!

Violet’s Hand Lettered Birth Announcements

I LOVE the simplicity of these gorgeous hand lettered birth announcements! Truly a group effort on behalf of their close friend Laura and her adorable daughter Violet, the announcements feature hand lettering by Katie from The Good Twin, floral styling by Chaparral Studio, photography by Laure Joliet, and letterpress printing by Power and Light Press. Katie described the announcements as a love letter from the group to Laura and her family. Such a meaningful way to welcome a new baby into a circle of family and friends!
