Stationery Show 2011 Sneak Peek : Fawnsberg

May 17, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

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!

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

May 16, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

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.

Hubba, hubba! That’s a mighty fine new wrapping paper collection from Up Up Creative (booth #2067), another awesome shop making its debut at the Stationery Show this year. Ooh, I just love it when independent shops design gift wrap, don’t you? These lovelies will be available in the Up Up Creative shop by this weekend, and an oh so pretty 2012 calendar, also making its debut at the show, is soon to follow:
