Pikku

When we spotted these silk screened cotton ribbons by Pikku on Parcel Post we stopped right in our tracks. Pikku has an entire collection of pillows, office accessories, ribbons, and wrapping paper! What a perfect coincidence it is that our custom birth announcements by Pikku go hand in hand with these accessories. We personalized our Mums birth announcement to match their lemony color scheme, and it's truly a match made from heaven.

Check out the entire Pikku shop here, and our Pikku birth announcements here!

Pikku Designs: New Pocket Tees

Pikku is debuting some dapper, darling new tees! Some of the Hello!Lucky boys got them as a surprise gift, and we had to share a preview.

Have you seen our Pikku baby announcements? If you like these simple, sweet patterns, peruse our Pikku birth announcement designs. With a simple change of text they can be re-purposed as a birthday invitation, too!

Pikku Ribbon

We are huge fans of Pikku (check out our collaborations with them here), so we were delighted to discover their new line of ribbons from Angela Liguori!

Gorgeous, right?

National Stationery Show

As always, there was a lot to take in at the National Stationery Show! It was hard to pry ourselves away from our booth, but we did manage to nip out to see what's new with some of our favorite designers. One of our favorite new products is this genius LCD card by Yellow Owl Workshop.

Also love this lucky horseshoe calendar from Hammerpress.

New gift wrap from EIEIO.

New cards featuring stitched scrap materials from Pikku.

Pretty fabric-covered magnets and tacks from Girl of All Work (these would be great for hanging wedding seating cards!)

Simple, elegantly packaged boxes of quotes from Spilt Milk and Cookies -- a great favor idea for showers. The lovely owners happen to be the parents of Jon Retsky, co-founder of the Bay Area's leading special events lighting design firm, Got Light?, and a friend of H!L (small world!).

Fantastic graphic cards from Fugu Fugu Press.

Prints of the designs from Binth's amazing Joker playing card series, along with stunning new card designs.

One of our favorite new cards, by H!L designer Shauna Leytus - dancing dreidels! Yea!

Another great show, and always inspiring!

New York Gift Fair

We just wrapped up exhibiting at the NY Gift Fair - it was a little quiet given the economy (crickets..!...tumbleweeds!)...but that's okay because we still got lots of inspiration and made new friends. Plus it's always great to catch up with our fellow designers/small biz owners and the wonderful independent boutiques that carry our cards. There's Chun Yee (intrepid founder of our London office) and Sabrina in our booth...

We were completely smitten with Pikku's new stationery - it's a beautiful combination of pretty, mod design, gorgeous letterpress and hand stitching. That Valerie is so talented - everything she does incorporates pretty textile-inspired details...

Pikku was also showcasing these lovely silk-screen wood wall calendars. So cute!

Angie and Ted of Poketo were there with their super-nip line of t's, plates, wallets and other delectable collectibles.

Here are some of their new mugs, available righ here.

We also spotted these fab new Orla Kiely journals from Jasper + Black.

Love these kooky dinosaur wall decals from Wall Candy Arts.

Super cool coat hooks from Fluffy Co.

And fabulous hand-made guest books and albums from Rag & Bone Bindery (this one uses Amy Butler fabrics). Gorgeous!!
