Minted at the National Stationery Show

Karly Depew of Oscar + Emma and Melanie Carter of Lucky Paperie

Phew, I”m back from walking miles up and down the aisles at the National Stationery Show in New York and wanted to share pictures from the trip.  It was exciting to see our friends from Elum, Dauphine Press, Wiley Valentine, The Happy Envelope, Mr. Boddington’s Studio, Egg Press, Paper + Cup, and more showing fabulous new letterpress wedding invitations and letterpress stationery.

One of the most exciting parts of the trip was gathering our community of designers together.  After seeing each other as small thumbnail photos on the Minted website for so long (and me as a profile cameo, it was pointed out by Amy Fontes – OK, I’ll change it), it was an unforgettable experience to meet everyone in 3D.  My impression was that new friendships were made and designers were helping each other navigate the show – the supportiveness we all see online came through in person as well.  Thank you to all the designers who attended our cocktail party at Bottino’s and took the time to give Annie and me great suggestions.
