Beautiful work from Oliver Brinn. Delicately designed baby announcements with a vintage feel. Love all the flourishes lately and gorgeous scripts. The above are two of the four styles available. The announcements come with matching envelopes imprinted with return address and sticker seal. Lovely!
The Ella and Avery announcement styles.
I got a note from a friend to check up on the Kate Spade stationery available at Crane’s. So glad I did! I cannot begin to tell you how inspiring this collection is. The selection above of the personalized correspondence cards do not even begin to show the variety of great colors and patterns available. The cards are letterpressed or engraved and there are so many styles to choose from. I personally love the idea of matching calling cards… so chic. The gray cards above feature return addresses pressed into the backs of the cards that show through the little window on the envelope. Genius! Gorgeous stuff.
Vintage Correspondence Cards, $524 for 50 letterpressed cards with windowed envelopes. Garden Bough Correspondence Cards, $323 for 50 engraved cards and envelopes.
This notecard at Galison caught my eye. Love the colors and the illustrations. Galison itself carried a wide assortment of cards and journals that I wouldn’t normally see at places like Kate’s or Paper Source. Very sweet.
Chinese Blossoms Whimsy Notes, $8.50 for a box of 12 notes with matching envelopes.
From Mav comes the Card Society, a month-to-month subscription of limited-edition letterpressed cards. Each month members receive two cards with envelopes. The cards are produced especially for society members and never get reproduced again. Such a great idea… especially for gifts for people who love letterpress and the cards at Port2Port. (via Oh Joy!)
Various cards Mav produces. The Society cards are cards that share the style of the illustrated cards pictured.
I can’t even tell you how much I loved the work at Wiley Valentine. I’m seriously searching for the words. Please visit their portfolio and look at the wedding invitations with the beautiful and intricate scrolls and ornaments. Then go over to the baby and see the sweetly designed announcements featuring photographs and detailed illustrations. See the social stationery with the gorgeous monograms and the new collection with the new luxe wedding invitations and imprintables. Also notice throughout the beautiful envelopes that are printed to match with artwork bleeding over folds. Definitely a Stationery Show favorite.
Various details from the collection and custom work of Wiley Valentine. This does not even show the full breadth because they carry so much more. See the website!
Beautiful botanical illustrations in soft color serve as the backdrop for this line of invitations from Braun & Brown. These were my favorite of the invitations I saw at the booth and loved that they came in such a wide variety of colors. The printing quality is also done so well that fine details are picked up.
