The Winter markets I visited in January and February — Atlanta Market, Shoppe Object, and NY NOW — are officially over, and as of this week Stationery Trends (ST) has shared my three market reports.
However, a lot of Paper Nerd readers never get to see them, which is a real stinking shame. So, I am sharing all the brands and stellar product I found here, and hopefully giving everyone a taste of just what I’m doing when I say, “I’m walking Atlanta,” for example.
Thus, in this post you are cordially invited to join me as we walk through all three glorious markets in chronological order — no boarding or press passes required (lucky you!). Over at ST, I editorialize about why I think each stands out from everything else — and the underlying lifestyle trend driving them. I’ll provide those links at the end, but in the meantime, sit back and enjoy this captivating cavalcade of cutting-edge design.
First, I share more gift-y finds alphabetically, then we get down to the brass tacks, AKA, cards!

Once I see everything lined up like that, I realize how much real estate I covered! Unfortunately, WordPress would not let me tag every maker here — so I tried to tag every product category instead.
Read my full Atlanta Market report here.
Read my full Shoppe Object report here.
Read my full NY NOW report here.
Believe it or not, as much as I’ve shared here, it just scratches the surface of all I found. For every photo above, I have 10 more spectacular ones. I’ll continue to feature my finds in Stationery Trends, here on The Paper Nerd and of course on my podcast The Paper Fold.
And if I connected with you somewhere along the way and have not yet followed up — please don’t hesitate to give me a shout. If you’ve read this far, you know how to find me!
