Stationery Show 2011 Sneak Peek : Fawnsberg

I’m such a fan of Primele’s gorgeous, gorgeous work, and so I was very excited to hear that sisters Patricia and Rachel Mumau of Primele are introducing a new stationery line at the National Stationery Show this year. The sweet and sophisticated new Fawnsberg collection (booth #1458) includes beautifully boxed letter sheet sets in a number of illustrative styles. What a great gift idea any of these sets would be for someone who loves letter writing!

Stationery Show 2011 Sneak Peek : Fisk and Fern

Fisk and Fern Superbean Card

Hello, Superbean (hee, love this card)! Fisk and Fern (booth #1153) is another fab stationery biz making its debut at the stationery show this year, and the screenprinted greetings in this line are right up my alley. I just love cards that are a little bit cheeky and lots of fun! Fisk and Fern also carries screenprinted art prints, tea towels/napkins, journals, and aprons featuring their colorful illustrations.

Here’s a mix of current and brand new greeting cards from the Fisk and Fern collection:

Stationery Show 2011 Sneak Peek : Fine Day Press

It may be a dreary Monday up here in Boston, but I’m feeling all revved up because I still have some pretty darn cool stationery show sneak peeks to share with you today and tomorrow. I also have a great giveaway coming up later today, so be on the lookout for that, too!

Ashley from Fine Day Press (booth #1656) is being a sly one. Her sneak peek is extra sneaky and features only glimpses of a new product that she’s debuting at this year’s show. This is a completely new product for her, and it has allowed her to explore her love for watercolor and pattern. The only hint that she’ll give is that this is a “timely” item composed of 12 individual pieces. Hmm … I wonder what it could be? *wink, wink* Whatever it is, it sure is pretty.
