A Few More Shots to Share

Robin and I both fell in love with the fun totes from Smitten Kitten. Being a farm girl, I particularly loved the apple bag, which says "We are cheerful and delicious for you!"

Brush Dance showcased a number of its beautiful stationery sets and journals during NSS. Inspirational quotes adorn many of the items.

The Jigster from Envelopments makes layering custom invitations super easy -- so easy, in fact, that even I could probably do it.

I simply couldn't resist including this photo from the Poo-pourri booth. It was just too eye-catching and funny!

This gorgeous display at William Arthur incorporated flowers and twigs.

There is just something about Mean Cards -- cards that say exactly what you mean -- that makes me chuckle every time. :)

Lilly Pulitzer's designs (Lifeguard Press) were as bright and fun as ever during NSS. The dress notes line is an especially cute way to send a card.

As cards slowly disappeared from the wall of HOPE at NSS, the word "HOPE" made its appearance. Russ Haan and the rest of the crew at HOPE is in the Cards was on-hand handing out free greeting cards and envelopes to help kick off the HOPE initiative at NSS.

Scentsational Greetings adds another of the senses to card-giving. When we stopped by the booth, April Seals let us try to guess their new scent from a sample: Pumpkin Pie. Admittedly, it took Robin and me several tries to get it exactly right. Perhaps our sniffers don't work as well as we thought they did.
