Stationery & furniture show



beautiful wholesale catalog + Italian cotton ribbon scraps from Angela



and then I made some objects....



I went to the National Stationery show (NSS) & International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) yesterday. Both of them were great shows
and I really enjoyed!


Thank you for the invites, Angela and Chip!


If you are planing to visit there, please stop by their booths!
Albertine Press - Booth# 1934 NSS
Momo Arts Deisgn Collaborative - Booth # 1873 ICFF




Beautiful old stamps from Angela. Thank you for the lovely gift!



After the show, I went to see Joanne who is visiting NY from Montreal with her family. I met her though our blogs and we have known each other for almost a year! I really enjoyed meeting her and we had a great time at Japanese cafe!

Oh, I love those stamp photos!! Such a great idea. I have boxes, literally boxes of old stamps I collected as a kid. I really should do something with them. Hmm...

Love your little objects, especially the yellow!!

Happy Monday!

Wow a National Stationery Show; sounds like my sort of heaven! I am a sucker for all sorts of papers, pens and cards. Always loved making a trip to the stationery cupboard at work for more essentials ...

Those italian ribbons look wonderful. I will have to have a look at her shop.

I just posted a coffee post for Wed, and realized that I may have made some Japanese mistakes, so please correct me if you feel inclined!!!
Wow, I did a double take to see that you met a Joanne. Perhaps we can meet one day too.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That’s a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith.

I particularly prefer the green colored thread in picture #3. This color can be used for furniture and window treatments at the same time and would give a nice look to your room. You can even use it with bow window treatments and other types of window treatments.

That is totally cool! I was amazed how you did that tiny basket. I'm sure you can make more beautiful stationary things.

Very creative and very clean it's good to see those kinds of handwork.You can really admire it in many ways

Double Glazing said...

That is great! Imagine all sort of things you could create with that idea :) Thumbs up!
