We accomplished many of our goals and are glad we went, even though it wasn’t as big as in years past.

Through the years we have made many good friends, they are our stationery family. Our group of stationery owners from all over the country share creative ideas on invitations, great gifts, advertising, promotions and so much more. We came away refreshed and excited to share them with you. We spend all day together and are never at a loss for words. Between the bunch of us we never miss a thing at market. We have a great time with each other and will miss seeing them until next time. Thank goodness for emails.

The great part about the show is that we get the first look at new gifts, invitations and stationery. Going Green is Big! There are so many ways to be green, from puzzles, journals, greeting cards that you plant and ribbon made from plastic bottles, it isn’t just paper anymore.

We also get to talk up close and personal with the vendors and find out what new and fabulous things they are working on. This also gives us a chance to get new catalogs for you!

The trend in wedding invitations is Letterpress. One more beautiful than the next. The colors are great and we are excited!

New York was fast and furious. Write Selection is going to have an awesome year!

Love, Betsy and Susan
