NSS Perspectives, Part 6 (Final Post)

May 27, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

This is my final post in the “NSS Perspectives” series, and I’m a little sad to be done. I feel so grateful to all of the paper lovers who have taken the time to post about the show on their blogs and through Twitter. As some of my readers have said, I sometimes felt as if I were right there on the show floor because the coverage was so in depth. So, thank you to everyone who has shared their perspective of this year’s NSS. I really hope to get there next year!

Now, onto the final group of perspectives:

Brooklyn Bride has some gorgeous eye candy going on over on their coverage of the stationery show. Lots of beautiful invitations, cards, and oh my goodness are those wooden squirrels (above top) from Enormous Champion adorable, or what? It looks like we’ll be able to purchase them soon, too!

Crane shows us their “Windows to the World”, the stationery world, that is. The vignettes are very nice, and I enjoy the fact that each has its own “personality”.

Jackie Flaherty, paper enthusiast and founder of the forthcoming quarterly publication, Letters & Journals (help her out by taking a survey!), covers the NSS from the perspective of a paper lover who is trying to maintain a “modicum of self discipline” in the face of a seemingly endless supply of lovely paper products.
