Photos from the following booths: Smock Paper | Sweet Bella | Tokyo Milk
Hi sweets! As you know I just returned from my trip to the National Stationery Show, and I'm just buzzing with excitement to share some of the old and new favorites that I discovered! Before I get started with the link love though, I have to say two things:
1. If you met me in your booth at the Show and I answered your question "Where are you from?" with the exuberant reply: "Oklahoma!!!" I now understand that you were asking what site I was from, and not where I live! (majorly embarrassed, face-palm action going on over here).
2. As soon as I clapped eyes on the very first pretty paper goods booth, all planning and sensible thought flew out the window and I ended up completely missing some of the booths I was most excited about (I'm sorry Anna). That and I only remembered to take photos for the first 5 minutes (argh). Dork x 1000. Next time I will be better prepared for sure.
Phew...now that we got that out of the way...here are some of my favorites from the show:
My friend SusyJack* introduced her gorgeous new line. A-may-zing! These goodies are now available for sale in her shop:
Linda & Harriett - Fresh watercolor print and letterpress designs (the watercolor effect was my favorite trend this season):
Banquet - Love everything from these guys, from their art prints to their new line of wrapping paper and greeting cards:
Fig.2 Design Studio - Gorgeous pops of neon letterpressed goodness:
Ink + Wit - Loved everything...especially the sweet stamp sets:
