Paper Party 2013!

I’d normally wait until the end of my booth recaps to share these photos with you – but this time I just couldn’t wait!! For the past few years I’ve had the pleasure of hosting a party during the week of the National Stationery Show, and since I’m a tornado of activity down the aisles of the Javits Center during the show it’s really my only chance to hang out with many of my favorite stationers, calligraphers, retailers, printers, and fellow stationery enthusiasts! This year’s party was everything I could have hoped for and more!

Since we were at full capacity last year, we found a wonderful new venue with some room to spread around: Hudson Terrace (also just a few blocks north of the Javits Center!). The additional space also gave us some new opportunities when it came to the décor, so I enlisted the help of my friends Janice from Bellwether Events and Kelly from Studio DIY – this year’s party was definitely my favorite yet! We were also lucky to collaborate with some really amazing sponsors this year to make the whole party possible: MohawkMintedSmockLegion PaperChronicle BooksHello! LuckyTradeshow Bootcamp, and the Ladies of Letterpress!

We wanted to incorporate LOTS of color and geometric-inspired patterns into this year’s party. In addition to the invitations (which I’ll share soon!), we created several folded paper displays behind the bar using Britehue paper from Mohawk – one of my favorite details from the whole party! Stay tuned for a full tutorial!

This year’s party was so much fun! It was so great to see all my favorite paper people all in the same place and having the most wonderful time. I’m still grinning ear to ear just thinking about it! Once again, a huge thanks and much love to our amazing sponsors for making the whole thing possible: Mohawk, Minted, Smock, Legion Paper, Chronicle Books, Hello! LuckyTradeshow Bootcamp, and Ladies of Letterpress â€“ not to mention Hudson Terrace for having us, and to Fisk & Fern, Linda & Harriett, For Your Party, Soirée Floral, Meant to Be Calligraphy, Tattly, and Smilebooth for all being a huge part of the evening!

OSBP + Smilebooth = Paper Party 2013

Finally, a million thanks to Janice and Kelly for their support and help with the party! Could not have pulled this off without these girls.

There was no way I could fit all of the photos from this year’s party into a single post, but you can find the full Paper Party 2013 gallery right here – and all the Smilebooth photos are available right here!

National Stationery Show 2013, Part 9

One of my favorite things about the National Stationery Show is the diverse range of exhibitor design styles. This show recap contains everything from colorful preppy cards to funny minimalist cards to beautiful watercolor pattern note cards to cute notebooks and calendars printed on wood veneer, and so much more! I’m also really excited about two new collections: a French-inspired line called Ferme à Papier by Cat Seto, and a new line of photo cards and prints called Modern Lore by the team behind Old Tom Foolery!

Still in awe over the paper cone garland – made from some of Smock’s new gift wrap patterns – which stretched across the entire booth and wrapped around the exterior corner wall!

National Stationery Show 2013, Part 7

The National Stationery Show is spread out over something like 30 different aisles, each with 30-60 booths along the aisle depending on the size of the booths and length of that particular row. Sometimes I can breeze through a row and visit only 1 or 2 booths, and sometimes it takes me HOURS to get through a packed row. This year it seemed like there were a lot of really packed rows, and today I thought I’d take you on a little walking tour of one row in particular: the 2000 row! This row was full of some amazing letterpress printers, all friends and many former exhibitors with the Ladies of Letterpress. The booths contain everything from sweet illustrated cards to colorful modern cards to some of the funniest cards at the entire show. See how easy it would be to get stuck here??
