NSS – Booth round-up, part two

Happy Friday everyone!  I don’t know about you all, but I’m definitely looking forward to some much-needed rest over the holiday weekend.  But first, more from NSS ’09!

I absolutely adored the Night Owl Paper Goods booth, which was chock full of their lovely letterpress and wood veneer stationery:

On the other side of the design spectrum, but equally as charming, was the Fugu Fugu Press booth:

Next up, the booth from Portland-based Old School Stationers – the fun mix of pattern + color made this booth one of my NSS favorites:

{I tried to get as much detail on this “Merry Christmoose” card as possible – the letterpress color field makes the white snowflakes pop up. Love it!}

I also had a ton of fun chatting with Tianyi from Tiselle:

I showed you a couple of photos from the Enormous Champion booth earlier this week, but I loved their booth so much I just had to show you the rest!

More lovely calendars… Becca Heuer & Seesaw Designs

I'm truly amazed by all the beautiful calendars available this year.  It seems like every time I turn around there is a new calendar that I want to bring home!  Here are two more that I just have to share with you:

Becca Heuer – Limited Edition Letterpress Calendar

I love the simple beauty of this 4-page seasonal calendar by Becca Heuer.  The calendar was hand-printed on 8.5" x 11" white cardstock using a
Vandercook letterpress. It is bound by means of Japanese bindery and
perforated at the top for an easy way to tear off sheets as seasons
change.

Seesaw Designs – Letterpress Calendar

This calendar by Seesaw Designs is both completely adorable and incredibly practical!  Each month comes on a sheet of 3.67" x 8.5" cotton paper and is hand-printed using an antique letterpress.  The calendar features illustrations by artist Rebeca Raney and space to mark important days or appointments.
