Tomorrow is the first day of the 64th annual National Stationery Show in New York City, the largest paper goods trade event in the country. Around 1300 exhibitors and 15,000 national and international retailers will be there, and my friend Allison Chapman will be showing off her Igloo Letterpress products in her own booth!

Among Allison’s impressive collection of cards and paper goods will be these newest additions to our collaborative greeting collection.

(This pun is all my fault, I’m afraid. I know, I deserve to go to a punitentiary in Punnsylvania for that.)

NSS isn’t open to the general public, but the goal of attending is to expose our cards to a wide variety of retailers, and to meet like-minded letterpress folk.

If you’ll happen to be there (either as an exhibitor or with a guest pass), say hello to Allison for me—she’ll be in booth 1550. The National Stationery Show runs from May 16 to 19, at the Javits Center on West 34th Street.

In the meantime, since I won’t have these cards in my shop until next month (and since she’s closed until May 25), you can find them in the current edition of Poppytalk Handmade Marketplace, and Igloo’s new blog.

Best of luck, Allison!
