carolyn-suzukiRAVEN LIGHTUPMYLIFE RINGIt is with great pleasure that I reveal three of Carolyn Suzuki’s brand new designs, both the front and the back of her cards are shown. Don’t you love it when the cuteness continues onto the reverse? Carolyn is one of 15 designers that will be a part of the Crow and Canary booth at the Stationery Show this year and we are simply delighted to have her! We will have 14 new cards from Carolyn Suzuki’s line alone, four of which are foil stamped, a fun new direction! Definitely come by the C&C booth for a gander, we’re in BOOTH 3124.

tradeshow spotting:
the paper storage co.

February 11, 2013  /  nyigf, trade show

Exhibiting at NYIGF last month was awesomely busy again, only downside to our popularity is that it left little time for perusing. Luckily I made the most of my time en route to the restroom or to grab a bite to eat and was able to see a few new lines that were entirely new to me.

I’m pleased to report that Crow and Canary’s debut at the National Stationery Show was a smashing success, so much so that I didn’t get a moment away from my own booth that didn’t include eating a frenzied lunch or visiting the washroom. A wonderful dilemma to have, but I must admit that I’m still in mourning that I wasn’t able to walk the show a bit. Luckily, I’ve been able to live vicariously through some other great blogger’s coverage – that helps ease the sting a bit.

We are beyond thrilled to be making our debut at NYIGF on Sunday! If you’ll be at the show be sure to stop by our booth and say hello, we have limited amount of laser engraved “send more letter” pins that we’re giving out to friends and VIPs. And most importantly, tons of new product from the likes of Dear Hancock, Enormous Champion, Ghost Academy, Greenwich Letterpress, Red Cap Cards, Sapling Press, Susy Jack* and more!

And one more bit of exciting news — yesterday my post for the Biz Ladies series on Design*Sponge went live! Take a little gander, if you’re so inclined.

I’m getting every thing in order for the Pacific Northwest Bookseller’s show this week and officially have book art and book-themed stationery on the brain. I have about a thousand and two things I should be doing in preparation for the trade show, but had to take a moment to share some of my favorites!

Anyone that’s exhibited at a trade show or craft show understands the importance of good neighbors. I sincerely couldn’t have asked for better people to be surrounded by in Los Angeles!


{image via gogogear}
Having a booth directly across from gogogear was a challenge. I’m a real sucker for luxury leather goods and I spent more time than I should admit debating over which bag I should make my very own. I settled on the above beauty and couldn’t be more pleased with my decision. This baby is a looker and has roller wheels. What more can girl ask for?


{image via yesterday’s best}
Julie and Shelby of Yesterday’s Best were very fun to chat with. Their line of hand-glittered nostalgic imagery cards are breathtaking in person. These ladies have over 500 cards in their collection, and claim that glitter has made its way onto nearly every object they own.

Leah of Pressed Ink, completely embodied the perfect booth neighbor. Pressed Ink is a modern line of paper goods, specializing in lovely monogrammed notecards and notepads. The line was recently featured in People magazine.

Michele and Suzie held down the fort at Xela Aroma. They had the sweetest smelling booth featuring reed diffusers and soy candles. Michele was the unofficial DJ for our aisle and I loved watching her channel Ellen DeGeneres’s with her awesome dance moves.

February 2, 2009  /  moth and squirrel, trade show

On Portland’s first snowy day, my mister and I braved the Super Colossal Holiday Sale. We immediately found Moth & Squirrel’s booth and I fell head over heals for all of their wares. I made a comment about how lovely their custom name tags were and wondered about getting one made for my next trade show. B obviously made a mental note, as my arrival home last week greeted me with the most perfect gift. I’ll only have to resist wearing it before my next show…
