In addition to offering an overview of etsy.com/wholesale resources and membership, the Etsy Wholesale lounge within #fresh will include a gallery wall- curated by noted blogger Noel Gary from Oh So Beautiful Paper – featuring products from all 80+ Etsy Wholesale sellers exhibiting at NSS. Among the more than 50 Etsy wholesale designers exhibiting independently in the Show are: AHeirloom (home goods, Brooklyn, New York), Dahlia Press Shop (letterpress, Seattle), Ello There (stationery, Brooklyn, New York), Katherine Watson (stationery, Hyde Park, Vermont), Knot & Bow (stationery, arts and crafts supplies, Brooklyn, New York), Live Love Studio (stationery, Knoxville, Tennessee) and Paula & Waffle (greeting cards, New York City).

Special signage and listings will call out Etsy wholesalers, both in the #fresh section, and throughout the rest of the National Stationery Show exhibit floor.
