Carina from Crow and Canary not only tweeted live from the National Stationery Show, but she also has fantastic coverage over at her blog. I love that she did thematic spotlight posts on newcomers to the show and colorful paper goods.

River Dog Prints spent one inspiring day at the show and features Jacki Paper, who won one of the “Best New Product” awards in the Think Green category for their new Wishmaker cards. Congrats to Jacki Paper! River Dog Prints’ two part feature also includes Hello! Lucky, Rag & Bone, and Smock, all of whom seem to be favorites, if the photos I’m seeing on the blogs are any indication.

NSS Perspectives, Part 1

May 25, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Another National Stationery Show has come and gone, with so many paper lovelies launched and on display that I can barely keep myself contained. This year, thanks to Twitter and the many paper loving Twitterers, I almost felt as if I were at the show. I was so grateful for the almost instantly uploaded pictures and tweets live from the show floor, and I felt everyone’s excitement for the experience.

This series of posts is my attempt to link to many of the bloggers who have provided us with so much gorgeous eye candy over the past week. Oh, and there are also lots of great images from the show over on Flickr, so be sure to check those out, too!

I know that I can’t possibly get every blog post that was made, so if you’ve been blogging the NSS and don’t see yourself listed in these posts, please feel free to either contact me or comment and drop your link.

And now, without further ado, here we go!

NSS Preview : Chewing the Cud

May 15, 2009 // kristen // 2 replies

I’ve seen so many wonderful National Stationery Show previews this week that I decided to make today “NSS Preview Day” and feature a few sneak peeks for you. Hope you enjoy!

First up are these lovely new letterpress goodies from Chewing the Cud. The new goodies include greeting cards, notebooks, invitations, and awesome recyclable cloth gift wrap (shown above), hand printed on 100% organic cotton with soy based inks.
