My Very First National Stationery Show!!!

Some of the awesome cards by
Egg Press that will be at LNS Boutique
I attended the stationery show yesterday at the Jacob Javitz Center in NYC and it was AMAZEBALLS!!!!!!!!


I didn't get to see everything and everyone - I've been overwhelmed with work, haven't slept much and been uber busy, but who's complaining ;)


Nevertheless, I got to meet some amazing designers and vendors like the girls at Smock Papers, Tom @ Tag and Co., as well as the reps at Egg Press. I also placed some cool orders from the likes of Evy Jacob, Orange Art and Notes and Queries for my store opening next month and I am excited!


Check out my Facebook page for a couple pictures of the vendors I love and got to see and will soon be carrying in my shop!

Busy, Busy May!

A lot has developed since my last post and all great, big news! I decided that rather than launching my custom design and print company as only a e-service, I'm going to balls in and open my own little boutique in DUMBO, Brooklyn this coming June. Thus, the space has been picked, design plans are being worked on and all the little fixtures and details are being fussed over and I'm entirely thrilled by what's to come.

My Little Project in the Making

On the same token, I've had an odd influx in freelance work and I'm so not complaining. I have a really cool wedding invitation I've been working on for a wonderful couple - I'll post pics of those quite soon; and I also have a bunch of identity products and social stationery I've worked on, that I am quite happy about. All in all, everything is going great and if this is any sign of the potential growth in my business, I am definitely ready and excited to take it on.

I will also be attending some really cool networking events this month, including Wedding Wire's NYC Vendors Networking Night at Midtown Loft and Terrace, Brooklyn Bride's Annual NSS Meetup at Brooklyn Winery and of course, the crème de la crème, National Stationery Show - I CANNOT WAIT!!!!

So there you have it! Each and every day, jam packed, booked solid, with barely a moment to spare, but all towards a beautiful and bright future for Lily Notes Studio and myself.
