It’s the time of year when I feel myself being pulled to New York City and the Jacob Javits Center. If you make, buy or just love paper, the National Stationery Show is the place to be. But, alas, I will not be there. I have walked the floor of the show the past two…

National Stationery Show in Photos
The 2010 National Stationery Show is in full swing as I write this post. I attended on Sunday with Bridgett of Perideau Designs for a whirlwind day of people and paper. I think my favorite part was meeting people face to face that I’ve come in contact with online. Lots of hugs, handshakes and greetings…
National Stationery Show 2010 Preview
It’s the Wednesday before the show and I’m sure the exhibitors are pretty much prepped and ready to get this thing started! Below is my list of the paper peeps I’d like to see. They are a combination of people I adore, people who make beautiful paper that I cannot, people that use color in…

Guest Blogger, That’s Me!
My first guest blogging experience appears today over at PJ’s blog, The Social Life of Paper. I met PJ through my friend, Bridgett, at last year’s National Stationery Show. She currently lives in Omaha, which is close to my heart, as I used to live just outside the city for awhile as a girl. But…
National Stationery Show 2009 – Part Two
Spending just one day at the National Stationery Show was many things to this newcomer: inspiring, exhausting, overwhelming, gratifying and many other “ings” that made it a very pleasurable experience. Thoughts of having my own booth next year do swirl in my head, but for now, I will concentrate on some of the great designers…
National Stationery Show 2009 – Part One
My inaugural blog post for RiverDog Prints should be about paper and the people who love it. So this is Part One of my newcomers review of the show in one speedy, inspiring and overwhelming day. I should have known after I printed out the floorplan and couldn’t read the numbers (even with my glasses)…
