{2009 national stationery show} pre-show picks

Just a bit of forewarning, you're going to see a lot of 'paper geekery' (as my husband fondly refers to my fixation) for the next two weeks. I'm headed to NYC on Friday to blog about the Stationery Show. Yesterday, I read a quote on twitter, that sums things up perfectly: 'The Stationery Show is basically Fashion Week for paper." So true!
