NSS 2015 Sneak Peek: Shorthand by Iron Curtain Press

I have a slight addiction to pretty office stationery â€“ so I’m super excited about the new products from Iron Curtain PressÂ (Booth #1952!) debuting at the National Stationery Show in just a few days! The Shorthand collection includes brass pushpins (!!!) in four different designs, notebooks with letterpress and foil printed covers and offset printed interior pages, washi tape, and note pads with a to-do list, graph paper, and lined rule paper. Yeah, I’m pretty excited about these…

Can’t wait to see it all in person!
