Thanks for such a great post! I was there on Sunday also but did really need a recap! I LOVED Enormous Champion and Ink and Wit also. They are so talented. Loved those bottle stoppers too! Considering them for father’s day. Thanks!

Thanks for such a super comprehensive and amazing feature from the show. I was there & while i saw a lot of this, the way you pulled it together is awesome! I am living for Rifle.

gorgeous of gorgeousness! am I missing something with the welcome to motherhood card? I thought only bulls had horns. Just googled it, some cows have horns too.

Brigid

Elissa

oh man, i’m loving that ‘it’s a party’ circus themed invite set. it’s making me big time envious that i didn’t make it to the show!

Emily

DS, could you do a feature on block printing? I would love to learn how to do some of this stuff!

Megan Hayes

Wow! I hope to someday attend the stationery show, but until then, I know I can count on you to pull together a fantastic feature on it! Really great post and I can’t wait to see more photos.

Love the post, wish I could have been there. I love the animal wood cuts from enormous champion and the crazy about you squirrels from sugarcube press.
