I’m incredibly jazzed to bring you Dear Hancock’s sneak peek, as it features three distinctive products that they are well known for: great calendars, modern nail wraps and BUNNIES!
Dear Hancock’s desk calendar’s sell out each year and I’m certain that the 2016 updated version of “The Imagined Desks of Historical Women” will be no exception. They have added some new desks to this version, including Ray Eames, Betsy Ross and Louisa May Alcott. The newest Museum Nails collaboration is such a beauty, designed by Ashley Goldberg (yay PDX designers!), I cannot wait for these to grace my fingertips — perfect spring palette! And last, but most certainly not least, Dear Hancock’s bunny cards have taken on a bit of a cult following, you can now deck your gifts out in either “Wonder Bunny” (shown above) or “Bunny with Maracas” wrap, yippeee! Ogle these and more in Booth No. 2052.

We are truly excited to be working with OliveBox, the new subscription service for themed paper and gift goodies! I was a delighted recipient of September’s floral themed box which featured a card and notebooks from Rifle Paper Co., stickers from Knot & Bow and a heavenly scented soap from Saipua.
OliveBox officially launched this week and in honor of their debut, they are giving away a gorgeous vintage typewriter. You can enter to win by signing up for a subscription by 9/21/12.
And we are particularly excited about October’s box, as a beloved Crow and Canary designer is featured with one of our favorite new products. Definitely not to be missed!

Screech Owl Design’s distinctive illustrations never fail to impress me. I’ve bought and sent many of their cards since their entree in 2008. Amongst new card designs debuting at NSS, Screech Owl Design is also introducing two calendars for 2013. I’m quite excited to check them out in their entirety at NSS!

I seriously adore everything that
Tabletop Made touches. Lucky me, they just released a slew of new card in their
Etsy shop. The “You’re a Peach” card would be positively perfect for
Kimberley, our east coast C&C rep. I’m particularly loving
this postcard – I can think of at least a dozen people I want to send it to!
