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!

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! We arrived back in DC on Monday (after spending the Easter weekend with Sophie’s grandparents and cousins) to find the cherry blossoms and magnolias in bloom and bright yellow daffodils all over the city. Yay! Spring is my favorite season here in DC and I wish I could hang onto it forever. For now, I’m cherishing the pale pink blossoms while anxiously awaiting the lilacs and peonies. But in the meantime…

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! We started sleep training Alice this week out of sheer desperate need to regain a good night’s sleep. Please send happy thoughts that it clicks soon! Luckily I have a husband that knows how to mix a stiff drink – I have a feeling we’ll need a couple this weekend. But in the meantime…

NYNOW Winter 2015, Part 8: Meri Meri

I may have let out an audible gasp and a few excited squeaks while walking around the Meri Meri booth at NYNOW. An entire booth full of the most amazing party supplies you’ve ever seen – from donut plates and gift tags to seriously cool letter banners to confetti rockets and cupcake kits. Too much to squeeze into a highlight post, so I’m sharing some of my favorites from the Meri Meri booth here!

NYNOW Winter 2015, Part 7

I always describe the Kate Spade and Ban.do booth as the happiest booth at any trade show. And really, with that much sparkle and color in such a small area, how could it not be??

1. I seriously covet that amazing watermelon cooler bag and leather totes (oh, and this striped duffel bag) from Ban.do – and a sneak peek at their 2016 planners coming soon!

2. So much sparkle at Kate Spade, from a gold polka dot ice bucket (WANT) and hologram silver leather notebooks to gold glitter coasters!

3. Love the gorgeous fabric totes, bags, and zip pouches from Maika – so many wonderful patterns and colors!

I’ve got one final post from NYNOW coming up in just a bit – and you can also see more from NYNOW on Instagram at #OSBPatNYNOW!
