Earlier this spring Austin Press was asked to collaborate with David Tutera on a country- chic -Texas-barn style wedding. David’s show My Fair Wedding is famous for rescuing weddings on the verge of collapse and for inspiring all those getting ready to take the plunge.

i hope you will enjoy watching this episode and keep an eye out for the beautiful AP stationery!

NATIONAL STATIONERY SHOW {DAY 4}

Contributer post by Eva Jorengensen of Sycamore Street Press

The NSS madness is over! Preparation for next year’s show begins….tomorrow. In the mean time, here are the last of the photos from this year. Too bad I didn’t have more time….and that several of my photos didn’t turn out…there were several more companies that I would have loved to include! There’s so much lovely paper talent out there.

Stationery Show

Here’s a small preview of some of the goodies I collected for you all this week at the National Stationery Show. Some old friends, some new. Can’t wait for it all to start coming in. Please note the Austin Press Cat/Bird gift tags inspired by Catbird!!

stationery show faves

There was so much to love at the Stationery Show — I could easily blog for a month on all the pretty cards, calendars, rubber stamps, and garlands. But I’ll share just a few today and tomorrow, and then I’ll be posting more as the new collections become available to buy online.

The Aesthetic Movement booth was one of my favorites. I thought it was so clever that they used chalkboard paint for their booth walls, too. Austin Press debuted a gorgeous collection of illustrated letterpress flashcards. The pictorial choices for each letter felt very unusual and historical — I love a twist on alphabet flashcards. (I have to admit — I couldn’t even figure out every illustration right away, so it was fun to guess the pairings.) The illustrations, with their vintage vibe, would create a beautiful display on a wall.

Stationery Show 2010: Austin Press

Kim at Austin Press always has some amazing modern Victoriana to peruse. My favorite this year has to be the alphabet flash cards.  Would love to frame “D” or “E” (as you know, I’m mad for elephants).

NSS 2010, Day 2

I’m still up in NYC roaming around the Stationery Show – and enjoying every second of it, as you might expect from someone who loves paper as much as I do!  I’ve been so impressed by all of the booths so far, so here are a few of my favorites…

I was definitely impressed by the work on display in the Austin Press section of the Aesthetic Movement booth – everything was letterpress printed on super-thick museum board for an even more luxurious look and feel.
