Before I wrap up my coverage of this year’s National Stationery Show tomorrow, I’ve got a few more booths that I’d like to share with you.  First up, another perennial favorite – Fugu Fugu Press – with their incredibly sweet letterpress cards and new fill-in-the-blank letterpress dinner party invitations:

I’m always impressed by the work from Maginating Letterpress – from the adorable characters to the near-perfect letterpress registration on each card, no detail is overlooked:

{quite possibly the cutest card ever!}

{love the spot varnish on these two holiday cards}

I also stopped by the Pearl & Marmalade and The Great Lakes booth to check out their latest cards, prints, and get a sneak peek at their upcoming 2011 calendars:

I spent some time catching up with Carrie and Hal from Red Cap Cards and checking out their latest greeting cards (I always love Carrie’s illustrated Halloween cards), notebooks, and a new series of cards featuring a collaboration with illustrator Blanca Gomez:

{Carrie’s illustrations look even more amazing when letterpress printed!}

Over on the other side of the Javits Center, I probably could have spent an hour just in the Egg Press booth gawking at all of their new cards – not to mention the new wrapping paper!

Old School Stationers also had a bunch of new botanical prints for this year’s show – my favorites are the bees and mason jar prints below – as well as new installments in their series of animal prints and cards:

I always love stopping by the Blue Barnhouse booth — Brandon’s letterpress cards are both impeccably printed and completely hilarious:

{love this “build a community” letterpress print}

I always love running into the ladies (and fellow DC residents!) of Haute Papier — their new wedding invitation book is stunning!

Of course, a trip to the Stationery Show wouldn’t be complete (at least for me) without a trip over to the Smock booth to check out their latest wedding invitations and everyday stationery designs:

I’ve got a few final booths left for tomorrow, plus a big announcement coming up a bit later in the week!

This was the first year that Kathryn from Blackbird Letterpress exhibited at NSS, and it was so nice to finally meet her in person!  I've got a gorgeous wedding invitation suite from Kathryn to share with you all a bit later on, but in the meantime let's take a look at her booth from the show!

I had a wonderful time visiting the Red Oak Press booth — their letterpress stationery and baby announcements had such beautiful impressions and registration that I had to resist the urge to touch each and every individual piece:

Jack and Lulu had one of the most impossibly adorable booths at this year's NSS — just look at the watering can name signs!  I loved the nautical theme, all the way down to the bag of flags and Union Jack coasters:

{for those of you looking for these stripey straws, pick 'em up right here}

The ladies of Byrd and Bleecker had a booth that matched their bright and bubble personalities as well as their stationery:

{I love these cards}

I was thrilled to see Pica Press at this year's show, and even more thrilled to check out their cards and invitations in person!

SusyJack* was back at this year's show with a few new products — like the modern spin on a piggy bank and new bunting kits below — as well as perennial favorites like calendars and note pads:

That's it for now, but I'll be back with more tomorrow!
