We had a great show in NYC this year, so many exciting things happened. I’m not even going to try to compete with the greats. Here is a listing of all of the wonderful National Stationery Show coverage.

MINT design blog : quite the proprietress of paper herself, just see Hello Tenfold, thanks for the feature, Ellie!

Broadway Paper : check out the swag Kate scored at the show, our first order ever came from this lovely shop in Milwaukee 2 years ago.

Parcel Post : another great shop from Venice Beach, Urbanic, did a little coverage on their Parcel Post blog.

Oh So Beautiful Paper : Nole may have us all beat on the NSS coverage. We are a part of Part 11! After all, she is the epitome of all things paper.

But wait! There’s more! Paper Crave, as you can imagine chose some great greetings and more to feature on their blog. I loved Cry Baby Ink‘s angle with documenting all of the business cards she collected. And to end on a lovely paper loving friend, Carina, of Crow & Canary has a great take on the show as well, she obviously loves patterns as much as we do here at BirdDog Press!

ps. HUGE thanks for the awesome photos goes to Amy Stocklein of Lucky Bee Press

Organized by Kelly Maron of Paper Stories Letterpress & Tami Rasmussen of TamTam Design, 12 amazing companies were invited to participate in an exciting group giveaway for this year’s show.  The promotion is a calendar that runs from the end of this show (June 2010) through the next show (May 2011).  Each participant designed a specific month and buyers are encouraged to visit each booth to collect that month’s page and complete their set.  The calendar includes a variety of mediums from letterpress to silkscreen to offset.  Quantities are limited and priority is given to buyers opening new accounts at NSS.

Buyers, come on by and get your March 2011 page from the BirdDog Press, we look forward to meeting you! Ours is a surprise, we haven’t even taken a photo of it yet, but of course it has a little feedsack flair.
