<p>One of the design truisms I came away from <a href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Stationery Show</a> with is that a great vision is that much greater when presented in a series. Just witness this small sampling.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.penelopespress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Penelope&#8217;s Press</a> makes a bride&#8217;s thank-yous for all her service providers simple and stylish with this clever letterpressed range, $5/each.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10410" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/penelopes_press-copy.jpg" alt="penelopes_press copy" width="618" height="824" /><a href="http://www.miraaster.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mira Aster</a> returned to NSS with her fabulous stitched creations, many of which use Liberty of London fabrics. For years I hoarded several that I was too greedy to send out. They&#8217;re not available yet, but keep checking back &#8230; and ask your favorite stationer to order them!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10438" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/mira_aster.jpg" alt="mira_aster" width="618" height="824" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10439" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/mira_aster_2.jpg" alt="mira_aster_2" width="618" height="824" />NSS was absolutely awash in prints — each bringing a maker&#8217;s vision up in scale. These are just a small sampling of those available from <a href="http://ourheiday.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Our Heiday</a>, <a href="https://ourheiday.com/collections/art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$25/each</a>.</p>

Prints are $28/each.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10436" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/farewell_paperie.jpg" alt="farewell_paperie" width="618" height="824" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10437" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/farewell_paperie_2.jpg" alt="farewell_paperie_2" width="618" height="824" />Finally, I couldn&#8217;t stop laughing at the prints in Sea + Lake Paper Co.&#8217;s booth. Fortunately Alice &; Christina have a sense of humor too! Where was &#8220;Uteruses before Duderuses&#8221; when I was in my 20s? Prints are $16/pop.</p>

<p>Finally, not all the series were for sale. This collage in the <a href="https://linktr.ee/1canoe2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1Canoe2</a> booth perfectly encapsulates the spirit &; vision of the brand, not to mention the people who make it what it is. It was one of my favorite spots at the show!</p>
