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. 

On the bright side, my lovely friend Amy of Old Sweet Song will be back next week with her NSS coverage. I was so very fortunate to have her as a C&C correspondent at the Javits. So, five more days of paper geekery headed your way, sweet readers.

I have the pleasure of working with Lark Press on two ends: They buy stationery from me for their retail shop and I represent their letterpress line in Washington and California. Their shop, located in an up and coming area of North Portland, is a gorgeous paper and art haven. All of the images I featured, just happen to be Portland based artists. Lark Press has an excellent assortment of local designer’s work, as well as some great lines from afar. It really is a must-see stop for those planning a visit to our fair city. It doesn’t hurt that the utterly delicious Pix Patisserie is located right next door. Beautiful paper and pastries, yes please!
