I brought the paper flower I made with misprints and it was actually a big hit. I’ve been wanted to try making more and be able to sell them — maybe very soon!
The set-up day 3 — I started off with the last row of placing alphabet cards and then, onto placing another vinyl stickers on the wall, kind of like a divider, that goes in between alphabet cards and other greeting cards. But… again, it was really hard to place it totally straight and it made a weird curve towards the right side… (please don’t look closely, I am embarrassed… but it’s true, it was NOT straight…) sigh… oh well.
This is the booth picture at the end of the day. Few decorative things were missing, made a note to bring those, and called the day.
After my booth was very close to be done, I went to the “Press Room” to place our press kits — I was amazed by so many great looking, creative press kits here! This is definitely something I had no idea what to expect and learned so much about. I will do this differently next time for sure. (Mine was just a press release sheets of papers, card samples and my business cards… in an envelope.)

Just a quick announcement that these 10 new pattern note cards are now available at my online shop!
Inspired by the traditional Japanese tenugui textile patterns, Heartfish Press hand drew these patterns and letterpress-printed them as everyday note cards. Available in single card or box sets.
