The annual National Stationery Show is taking place here in New York May 17-20th, and I’ll be swinging by on the 17th. I always joke that I need a wheelchair to make it around to every booth because there are over 1000 exhibitors!
Some of our good friends like Wiley Valentine, Hello Lucky, and Smock/Bella Figura will be there. The National Stationery Show is a great way to discover some of the up and coming forces in the stationery world. This event is only open to wholesalers and press so unfortunately the general public can’t attend, but I promise I’ll be back with tons of pictures!
Though I’ve attended the show a couple times in the past, this is the first year that I registered as “press” — in the past I’ve attended as a guest of friends who were exhibiting. Registering as press has definitely been a different experience because I’ve been getting samples, emails, and phone calls galore from exhibitors who want me to stop by their booth.
I feel so fortunate to live in Manhattan, because it’s the wedding capital of the US — all the wedding magazines, designers, bridal shows, Bridal Market and many top vendors are based out of here. I wonder if Weddingbee would have been different if I still lived in LA and wasn’t able to have access to all the opportunities I have here.
Anyway I digress — I’ll be stopping by as many booths as possible this Sunday, so be on the lookout for a little Asian girl with a press badge!

Smock will be exhibiting so much of the Bella Figura/Smock team will be hanging out in booth 2741 when you and Miss Gloss make it around in your wheelchair! 
You’re so lucky Bee! I would give anything to check out the show. But sadly they don’t allow non-industry people in, even if they are willing to pay! 
I love checking out new designers and get a sneak peak this year’s designs. I will just have to wait for blogland recaps!
If you get a chance check out Austin Press Booth #3235. Kim is a one gal shop out of the SF Bay Area and this is her first year as a exhibitor. She has a really awesome vintage ephemera style and is the sweetest printer I know and we are really excited for her to be exhibiting this year!
SOOOOO SOOOO SUPER JEALOUS! I can’t wait to read your posts!
Please stop by the Crane booth, and I can show you everything that’s new. Booth 2702. Look forward to seeing you!
