{2012 national stationery show} sneak peek: farewell paperie

I had the true pleasure of meeting Jen and Lisa of Farewell Paperie at the Tradeshow Bootcamp session held in LA this February. I'd already heard smashing things about these ladies from both Molly & Amy and let me tell you - they totally lived up to the hype. Farewell Paperie is making their grand debut at the National Stationery Show this month. You can see their wares in Booth No. 2065.

Quite a stellar turn out for new National Stationery Show exhibitors this year. This is truly just the tip of the iceberg. I was quite impressed with the quality and cohesiveness of both booth design and collections. Can't wait to see what many of the newbies do next, other than catching up on some much deserved rest and relaxation!

{2010 national stationey show} newcomer: wild pulp

Wild Pulp made their debut at the Stationery Show this year. It's always such a pleasure to discover a company that's doing something new. I was really taken by their designs and don't know how I managed to walk away without snapping a photo of the 'weave a dream' series. Artist, Christopher Smith, hand constructs and photographs the beautiful nests featured on these cards.
