Top CHA Picks

While I didn't make it to the CHA show this week, I confess to being an armchair attendee. I've been checking out the sneak peeks, photos, and videos from the show, and will now share my top picks from what I've seen.

It goes without saying that I'm excited about October Afternoon's new releases (Farmhouse, Sidewalks, and Sasparilla), but I am, of course, a little biased! I think Sidewalks is my favorite of the three new collections, but only time will tell. 

Okay, now that we've gotten my bias out of the way, let's move on to my other top four picks, in no particular order.

1. Studio Calico's Autumn Press Collection 

As always, Studio Calico impresses with their color palette and broad range of patterns within a collection. I will be buying every single piece of this line as soon as it hits stores!

2. Fancy Pants' Off to School Collection 

I love the unusual colors here and am particularly crazy about the Chalk Stickers and the Design Embellishments.

3. Simple Stories' Happy Day Collection

It's rare that a birthday collection comes out that draws my attention, but something about the colors and patterns here drew me in. I am hoping that these papers will motivate me to address the backlog of birthday photos I have piled up!

4. Crate Paper's Farmhouse Collection 

I love these colors! This whole line just makes me happy, especially this piece of paper:

So...knowing I'm a sucker for anything that combines bright colors with vintage and whimsical elements, what did I miss that I should add to my top picks list?
