<p>Continuing my meanderings through High Design at <a href="https://www.americasmart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AmericasMart</a>, today I&#8217;ve got three fabulous San Francisco makers to share. First off, everyone was gaga (with good reason) for Vintage School Charts from <a href="http://cavallini.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cavallini &; Co</a>. Measuring 28&#8243;x40,&#8221; they arrive assembled and ready to hang — granting the San Francisco house&#8217;s iconic gift wraps new life on walls. These are the next generation of <a href="https://www.cavallini.com/vintage-poster-kits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cavallini&#8217;s Vintage Poster Kits</a>, which take more of a DIY tack.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13404" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/cavallini_5.jpg" alt="cavallini_5" width="800" height="1067" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13400" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/cavallini_1.jpg" alt="cavallini_1" width="800" height="600" />With the New Year comes new gift wrap designs, and despite their vintage origins, these new New York designs present a fresh take on a favorite theme. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13403" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/cavallini_4.jpg" alt="cavallini_4" width="800" height="1067" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13409" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/cavallini_7.jpg" alt="cavallini_7" width="800" height="1067" />Cavallini is an eternal favorite thanks not only to their meticulous art design — inspired by the company&#8217;s behemouth collection of antique ephemera — but by its attention to every detail, from the poshest Italian papers to the prettiest labels you can imagine.<br />

<p>Right down the hall was <a href="http://www.elizabethw.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elizabethW</a>, who has some of the best personal care I&#8217;ve yet to find. Their scents are exquisite, and all packaging in their <a href="http://www.elizabethw.com/collections/small-batch-apothecary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Small Batch Apothecary</a> range is letterpressed!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13406" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/elizabethW.jpg" alt="elizabethW" width="800" height="1067" /><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I noticed a lot of eye masks and boudoir accessories at market — but you can&#8217;t do better than elizabethW&#8217;s <a href="http://www.elizabethw.com/collections/silks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">silken eye masks and hot/cold packs</a>. </span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13407" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/elizabethW_2.jpg" alt="elizabethW_2" width="800" height="1067" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13408" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/elizabethW_3.jpg" alt="elizabethW_3" width="800" height="600" />Finally, tucked in a corner of elizabethW&#8217;s booth was <a href="http://carpediempapers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carpe Diem Papers</a>, a new stationery obsession of mine — though Mindy Carpenter started painting in 2009. She actually used to work at Cavallini — and reminded me that I used to request art from her! Whoops. She said Cavallini&#8217;s archives provided a sort of mental backdrop for much of her work — which I just find so distinctive, fun and fresh! Like all my show photos, these don&#8217;t do this amazing range justice.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13397" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/carpe_2.jpg" alt="carpe_2" width="800" height="600" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13399" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/carpe_4.jpg" alt="carpe_4" width="800" height="600" /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13398" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/carpe_3.jpg" alt="carpe_3" width="800" height="600" />I just can&#8217;t get enough of Mindy&#8217;s cozy rooms and adorable vignettes. Meanwhile, I&#8217;ll have more Atlanta posts as I slowly work my through all my images!<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13396" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/carpe_1.jpg" alt="carpe_1" width="800" height="600" /></p>
