National Stationery Show Recap – Pt. 5, NC Designers

June 15, 2012

And last but not least, a few of the designers from North Carolina that were represented at the National Stationery Show:

I’ve posted about my friends Joel & Ashley of This Paper Ship before. They are talented illustrators who decided to take the leap into exhibiting at the show this year. Their booth had a nautical theme with gorgeous fabric flags printed by local company Spoonflower.

Figs & Ginger are Rhonda & Eli from Asheville. In their booth they showcased wooden cake toppers and party goods alongside their eco-friendly sterling jewelry.

This wraps up my coverage of Surtex and the National Stationery Show. Hope you enjoyed!
