Continuing my report from this year’s National Stationery Show… The lovely ladies from Paper Lovely and fat bunny press had a bright minty booth this year and I loved it. I loved seeing Kim and Eva, too, they are always so fun to chat around with :)

I love these hand lettering letterpress cards (above) and Kim‘s new calendar with each seasonal shoes (below) — too cute!!

Stopped by Sycamore Street Press, always my pleasure! Great booth as always. Couldn’t take any product photos, but they had this great new Baby Milestones memory set that is so very sweet.

I came across the Sideshow Press booth and I was immediately in love. What a great debut for them!

Their products are all so cool, too.

Ladyfingers Letterpress — Loved their booth, too. I wish I had more time to look around closely… but below is when they were having a hand-lettering demonstration at the booth. I was so drawn to it, it looked so great! I wish I could do that…

Yellow Owl Workshop — the most artistic booth ever! Their booth was actually much taller than anyone else’s and it was really standing out from the crowds. It suits their brand, too. So fun to visit for sure.

Pei Design — I loved their booth, too, one of the cutest for sure! Made me smile so much :)

Iron Curtain Press — I loved their simple and clean booth. If I ever have my own booth, I would definitely get inspiration from their booth…

Leaf-it — their booth definitely caught my eye. How pretty is this? The sticky notes that are leaves. I want to do this at my office area!

This concludes my report from the Stationery Show. I am super inspired! I’m not sure when I can come back to show, but it’s definitely my goal… Until then, I will keep developing my stationery line. Slowly, but surely. Can’t wait for the next year!!

Last Sunday, I went to see the National Stationery Show at the Javits Center — it was amazing. I am so inspired and excited by all the creativity I saw!! It was really nice to see some of my favorite stationers and it was really awesome meeting new talented people, too. I snapped a few photos (not enough!), I will be posting them all here for the next few days…

The above card is from 12fifteen design + letterpress — Love the simple yet sweet card with a heart! <3 They were with the Ladies of Letterpress (can’t believe it was 2 years ago)featuring others like Ari Press, Black Heart Letterpress, Bowerbox Press, Creativity, Grey Moggie Press, Les Bois Letterpress, Noteworthy*Paper & Press, Pressbound, Steel Petal Press — Nice to meet some of you there! Couldn’t take much photos here as I was busy talking to people…

Next up is from Power & Light Press — their booth definitely caught my eye. I really like the “I bet you use Helvetica” card!

Ink Meets Paper — congratulations on their debut on NSS! It was so lovely to meet Allison and Daniel, their booth was filled with so many lovely letterpress cards. I love that their logo has a little heart like ours :)

Brainstorm — They had great posters! I first saw their work at the Renegade Craft Fair and have been a fan since.

I like the Atmosphere, Earth and Ocean series, but I really like the wild flower poster on the bottom… so lovely!

To be continued…

The National Stationery Show 2011

I will be at the National Stationery Show until the 18th. It has been crazy preparing for the show, but I am so excited about what’s going to happen, what I would learn from this and who I’m going to meet! If you are coming to the show, please stop by booth #2362-68 and say hello!

I will be back with lots of pictures and my experience, please check back and see more about the show :)

Have a great week, everyone! xo Hijiri

Meet the Breeds

It’s Friday and I wanted to leave you guys some cuteness to end the long week… I went to the “Meet the Breeds” event last Saturday and met literally 100s of different dogs and cats! 90% of the picture came out blurry (they do move a lot!) but here are some that I can share :) Enjoy!

Have a great weekend, everyone!! xo Hijiri
