17th
Under Wraps at The Stationery Show
Goyal Exports
Egg Press
A sparkly butterfly tree!!!
There were also a lot of gift items and novelties there, some of them fabulous (Motherboard Menorah, made from a recycled m-board) some of them regrettable (this bracelet concept/choking hazard called “Shains”), all of them at least slightly coveted by me. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos of them because just when I became excited enough to take a picture of some chrome-plated octopus-shaped piggy banks, a sales rep kindly told me that photography wasn’t allowed. I should have known, because places like this are rife with idea thieves, but I was just being a fan of their doodads! I thought of showing a list of my favorite tchotchkes, like an inappropriate bridal registry, but there were just too many. Maybe later.
There was even a paper fashion show. This was the one spot where photography was encouraged, and it was a narrow corridor, so I kept bumping into other folks who had to get their photo ya-yas out:
“Light As Air,” by Kerri Banister
“‘Fan’tastic”, by Celeste Crockett
Unfortunately, this one didn’t have a title or name.
Nor did this one. Too bad, it was my favorite (the glasses!)
I’m ready for May 21, are YOU?
