The National Stationery Show is currently underway at NYC’s cavernous Javits Center, and I’m happy to be sharing a few of my finds at the blog this week. My very first stop after checking my bag was booth 1852, home to Charleston’s Sideshow Press. I’m a big fan of Courtney Rowson + Amy Pastre’s designs (they’ve helped me out a bit with my branding), and press-woman Virginia Gregg turns out meticulously crafted product. Sideshow’s NSS debut was full of fun outdoor/camping themed products that will appeal even if like me, you prefer a nice hotel bed to sleeping in a tent. I’m especially fond of the journals with their simple cover icons, the enclosure cards with wood-veneer letterpress envelopes, the gift wrap (always on the lookout for simple gift wrap), the sweetest little tin filled with old-school erasers, and …. well, everything. The all-new Sideshow Press website (including the Sideshow Press blog) is live to coincide with the show + shopping is open. Congrats, ladies! Let the games begin!
