NYIGF Recap, PartÂ 4

One of the largest booths in the upstairs handmade section of the NYIGF was the booth of stationery representative daisyd and friends, which included a collection of stationery and paper goods from Night Owl Paper Goods, Dutch Door Press, Hammerpress, Modern Printed Matter, Ink + Paper, Round Robin Press, and many more:

Also in the upstairs handmade section was the booth featuring letterpress cards and prints from Yee-Haw Industries:

I also came across this beautiful laser-cut wood and steel jewelry by Daphne Olive:

I also spent some time in the downstairs section of the NYIGF, which featured handmade goods from international vendors. It was in this section that I discovered these amazing textiles from Indika Imports:

{these Tree of Life wall hangings use one continuous piece of fabric – they remind me of paper cut artwork}

{I also loved these fabric bird garlands – called prosperity hens – hanging around the booth}

In addition to beautiful textiles, Indika also carries a lovely selection of Indian paper goods:

I just couldn't stop staring at all of the lovely patterns and colors – so gorgeous! You can find all of these and more right here.

That's all from this year's NYIGF – I hope you all enjoyed the recaps from the show!

NYIGF Recap, PartÂ 3

I'm back again with more from the NYIGF! This time, I'm starting off with the bright and colorful Motel Deluxe booth, which also included a few letterpress cards and coasters from Sesame Letterpress:

{love the woodgrain texture on these cards from Motel Deluxe}

{signature initial coasters from Sesame Letterpress}

I also stopped by the Letterspace booth for a sneak peek at their new 2010 calendar:

Ige had this wonderful collection of silhouette mobiles and fabric calendars on display in their booth:

{I love this typewriter font calendar}

Ige also has a fantastic monkey mobile that I didn't manage to photograph – but you can check out the full collection online right here.

One of my favorite things about these shows is getting to meet new designers and artists – like Toronto-based illustrator and printmaker Katie Muth!

As you can see above, Katie also has a 2010 calendar - which I can't wait to include in my calendar round-ups a bit later on in September!

I've got a few final booths from this year's NYIGF to share with you, coming up shortly…

NYIGF Recap, PartÂ 2

Blue Barnhouse, one of my favorite booths at the NSS, was back at the NYIGF with some new letterpress note cards and holiday stationery:

This card was one of my favorites from the show:

I also stopped by the Jack and Lulu booth to check out these cute encyclopedia card sets and new calendars:

I also can’t resist showing you more pretty jewelry – this time the collection of beautiful glass jewelry from Verre New York:

One of my favorite booths was from Roger LaBorde, which included a collection of laser-cut cards with designs by Rob Ryan and some cute little pop-up animals for kids:

Also up in the handmade section was the Figs and Ginger booth – I love their collection of sweet sterling jewelry:

Figs-Ginger6

Figs and Ginger is also coming out with a wedding line very soon – I can’t wait to see it!

NYIGF Recap, PartÂ 1

Whew. I'm back from New York after a whirlwind couple of days – and ready to kick off my NYIGF recaps! I'll also be posting photos from yesterday's field trip organized by brides.com a bit later on. But how about some NYIGF eye candy to start off the day?

My first stop at NYIGF was the Artecnica booth — I just couldn't pass the gorgeous Tord Boontje panels and lamps without stopping:

I absolutely adored these bloom cards and fairy tails:

These cork envelopes and bags made from recycled materials were new additions to this year's collection:

I've always loved these starlightz lamps:

From the Artecnica booth, I moved on to Snow & Graham, where I caught a peek at their new holiday cards, gift wrap, and calendar:

And stopped by the 9SpotMonk booth to check in with some of my favorite ladies of letterpress:

Here's a sneak peek at the 9SpotMonk wedding invitation line – which I absolutely love and which you'll see in greater detail in a few weeks:

I also spent some ti
me in the handmade sections of the market, and came across a gorgeous jewelry line by designer Catherine Weitzman:

Catherine is based out of Hawaii (lucky lady) and her full collection is definitely worth checking out – she has an online shop through her website right here.

I've got more from the NYIGF coming up a bit later, so check back soon!

Embroidered Fabric Calendar

I'm not planning to do full calendar round-ups until later in September, but I came across this beautiful fabric calendar on Avie Designs and just couldn't resist posting just this one a bit early:

The calendars are pre-printed on cotton panels – the idea is that you embellish the cotton fabric with embroidery, fabric, or screen printing before giving it to someone else (or I suppose keeping it for yourself). Such a sweet idea!

The calendar panels are available for purchase from September House, which also offers a number of embroidery patterns that can be used along the edges of the calendar. Check them all out right here.
