NSS: RiverDog Prints Mentioned Us in her NSS coverage!

We're over here today... RiverDog Prints included us in her national stationery show recap! She was super sweet and so encouraging. She's gearing up to exhibit at nss next year and I hope to see her there!

NSS Day 1: Twitter-tastic!

Day 1 at the National Stationery Show was all about the twitter connections! On top of meeting a number of amazing retailers, I had a fabulous time meeting my fellow stationery twitter pals including @crowandcanary, @pjinomaha, @substudio (booth #1933), @RiverDogPrints, @tiselle (booth #2063) and @perideaudesigns.

Also, @crowandcanary and @owensays have put together a handy directory of NSS exhibitors that are on twitter -- you can check it out here.

p.s. we have some great nss neighbors -- a few veterans and a bunch of newbies like us, first time exhibiting and several brand new companies with different styles and products. Love the energy!

NSS Set-Up: Booth #2070, Take 2

Sadly, our original booth design/shelving was unable to be used at the last minute. However, one cab ride to Ikea later we had a back-up plan in place and I'm really happy with the way the booth turned out:






We've had a lot of comments from visitors about how the exhibit space has clean lines and a 'zen' feeling that mirrors our cards! The metal shelving had its advantages too -- we were able to showcase the promo magnets that I handed out. And, they've been so popular that I think we're going to package them to sell as gifts with the cards.

oh my!

Almost a month? Shame on me for not posting sooner. Was tied up with National Stationery Show prep.... and am excited to say that the show is finally here! Me and the hubby hopped a red eye from LA to NYC last night and headed straight to Javitz this morning to begin set up. With the added help of my lovely mom & sister we're just about done. I promise to post pictures of our set up soon and of course nss coverage of our friends and neighbors. Wish us luck!
