The 2009 National Stationery Show was, as always, a fun and fabulous event. We had such a blast mingling with other stationers and getting to know some of our new neighbors. Of course, the best part of the stationery show is taking the time to meet our retailers and fannabelles!

Knowing that not all of our customers and friends were able to make it to New York, we thought we would share a selection of images from the show.

The booth reflected the fun colors of our logo and was punctuated with pops of pink, purple and lime. The brilliant wall blossoms were custom made and handpainted to coordinate with the booth and materials. I really enjoyed the frames and noteboards that served to showcase new products, customer compliments and industry awards and recognition - pretty and practical!

We were touched by the retailer response to our newest albums: Everyday Beginings and Holiday Celebrations. Both new and existing retailers seemed particularly pleased with the high level of customization and coordination available across both albums.

To cap off a whirlwind show, we received an Honorable Mention at the 2008 Louie Awards ceremony for Personalized Invitation/Announcement! We were truly honored to have been considered amongst such talented colleagues. Congratulations to all nominees and a heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this year a success for Annabelle’s Creations!
