The Halloween fun continues, heavy on the treats… Let’s start off with a good, straightforward scare—with barbed detailing—from Beau Ideal Editions. And, now for some more style, of the witchy variety, from Mr. Boddington’s Studio. These darling children from Oddball Press are dressed to the nines. Dressed to the nines for murder, that is. I […]

Here’s another sweet Early Bird offer—this time, from Sesame Letterpress. Sesame Letterpress, a Brooklyn-based boutique print shop, offers gorgeous letterpress invitations, notes, and gift items.

S’Wanderings: Cape Ann, Massachusetts – The Paper Mermaid

One of the main reasons we went to Rockport was to visit The Paper Mermaid. I’d never been to the shop before (I found out about it online), so I was happy to find it exactly as I’d imagined: a cute storefront on Rockport’s picturesque Main Street, jam-packed with all kinds of eye candy. It’s […]

2013 National Stationery Show – Going Out with a Booth-Blowout-Bang

Well, the calendar has turned another page—how did that happen?—and it’s time for me to wrap up my NSS coverage. I learned so much in my first year at the show as a blogger. I plan to apply lessons like “One overnight is not enough,” and “Think you’re taking too many pictures? You’re not; take […]

So, while I’ve titled this post “Kids’ Stationery,” the products featured […]
