I *heart* NYC
Last weekend I had the privilege of going to the national Stationery Show in New York City, and even though it was a short trip, I did what I went to do… find lots of fun goodies for the store! Over the next few months at Calligraphy Etc., you’ll be seeing some of these great new products and designs from the show finding their way on our shelves!
I walked the aisles and browsed what’s new from several of our favorite vendors- Bella Ink, Inviting Company, Cross-My-Heart, Whitney English, In Good Company, Faux Designs, Odd Balls, Crane, Anna Griffin, and many more. I’m really excited about the paper designs, but I’m even more excited about some of the new gift items that are on the way!
Here are a few fun things that I saw at the show:
1. I’m really pumped about this personalized products program- you select from albums the designs you want, and they make the personalized items just for you (with your name or monogram printed on it)- melamine plates, canteens, water bottles, lucite trays, decorative canvas, mouse pads, dry erase boards, clipboards, coasters, stationery, t-shirts, calling cards, etc. GREAT fun and a great gift idea for kids or moms-to-be.
2. Really adorable holiday cards that are kind of small, not the huge ones that you feel like you have to put a photo on or write a dissertation in- really cute designs too!
3. LOVE these personalized magnetic boards- you pick the design, add your personal monogram, and you’ve got a magnetic board that’s hanging-in-the-kitchen-worthy! They’ll make great Christmas gifts (and graduation too)!
Of course there’s more to come, but I’m not sharing all of my great finds at once (wink wink). I’ve got to start making space in the store for all of the new stuff I want to bring in… so I feel a sale coming on! Stay tuned!
