It’s almost that time of the year again, time for the National Stationery Show, and I’m so excited because this year I finally get to attend the show! It looks like lots of great shops are making their debut this year, and many, many perennial favorites will be there, too. Just thinking about the number of booths that I want to visit is making my head spin … in a good way.
So, if you’ll be exhibiting, please email me, tweet or DM me on Twitter @papercrave, or leave your shop name and booth number in the comments on this post, and you’ll be helping me put together my “master list”, which I’ll be posting here at the beginning of May!
And, if you’re going to be exhibiting at the show and are looking for tips on preparation and setup, you’ll want to check out the great series that Sarah Marie put together in 2008. Lots of very helpful tips!
Yay! I’m so glad you’re going this year – I can’t wait to finally meet you in person!
Hey, hey!! It is my first year, too — though I will be on the exhibiting side of things. I’d love it if you’d swing by and say hello! Booth 1249, Le Canot Rouge.
I am so excited; it is pretty near all consuming at this point – I can’t wait to see all the amazing stuff and connect with everyone I’ve been meeting lately.
Note if you check out my website, it is an Etsy shop for about another week and then (ta da!) our new site will be up. Just in time for the show.
See you soon!
I feel the same, Nole! It’s hard to believe that we haven’t met yet!
Awesome, Laura, thanks for the info. See you there!
Oh how I would love to go one year!
hey! we’d love for you to stop by the gilah press + design booth at #1535! we do letterpress and sell greeting cards as well.
I’ll be exhibiting for the first time this year! Can’t wait… Yes, I agree with you, Laura, it is completely all-consuming at the moment! And, like you, making the last few tweaks on a brand-new website
Ashley Austin, Fine Day Press, booth #2151
Two Trick Pony is going to be in booth #1641 this year! It will be hilarious if we meet for the first time in NYC, considering we live about 3000 feet away from each other.
If anybody is interested, it’d be fun to get together for quick dinner after the show closes one night – I’d love to develop more friendships in the Stationery World… I think it’d also be mutually beneficial to share show experiences, tips, successes, bombs, etc. But, with the fabulous food in NYC, who really needs a reason, eh?
If you feel like joining, maybe shoot me an email?
Thanks for sharing, everyone!
Carrie – when I saw your comment, I thought the same thing! Haha, that may be just what happens!
Hi Kristen, (from another NSS newbie), this will be the first time for Truly Sisters – Booth #2073. Agreed, I have been spending all of my time recently getting ready for the “big dance” I am excited and nervous, this is my most expensive marketing effort to date, I have not had a chance to update my website…yet, I have been busy expanding beyond the Licensed Greek merch! Please stop by and visit, I have social stationary and holiday cards (Kind Holidays Line). Would love to joing a networking dinner op too!
Hello thank you for the post about the Pikku paper and cotton ribbon collaboration, again.
Please come to visit me and Albertine Press, together at booth 2154. I would love to meeting you in person!
Have anice trip to NYC,
angela
Hi Kristen! We would love to me you if you have time to swing by the booth! Our debut in booth 2252!!! (It’s cheesy but catchy!)

Wonderful, everyone, keep the booth #s coming! I have you all added to my list.
