<p>The big news last week was all about <a href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Stationery Show</a> co-locating with <a href="https://www.nynow.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NY NOW&#8217;</a>s February edition. It&#8217;s still sinking in, but the word I&#8217;ve received from show management is that contracts have just started going out to exhibitors, and the response has been positive so far.</p>
<p>Before looking ahead though, I&#8217;d like to look back at the some of the best finds at #NSS2018. I put out an open call to exhibitors to share their top sellers, and what flooded my in-box is downright dazzling.</p>
<p>First up is first-time #fresh exhibitor <a href="https://www.instagram.com/allmylayers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">All My Layers</a>. What better way to spend your birthday than rosé-ing all day?</p>

<p><a href="https://efrancespaper.com/">E. Frances Paper</a> brought its dazzling watercolors back to the show &#8230; and this sweet design, Envelope Trip, was its bestseller. <a href="https://efrancespaper.com/products/envelope-trip"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-21855 size-full" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/JB356.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="853" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s impossible for me to keep a straight face in <a href="https://prettyalrightgoods.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Matt Butler&#8217;</a>s booth — looking at these two letterpressed best sellers, it&#8217;s easy to see why. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-21869 size-full" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/worth-celebrating.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /><a href="https://prettyalrightgoods.com/collections/best-sellers/products/lets-get-this-party-started"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-21868 size-full" src="https://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/party-started.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" /></a>Whose child is at camp &#8230; or will be soon?
