To open its new store in Rockefeller Center, stationer Crane & Company invited shoppers to meet with three guests whose areas of expertise are related to writing and hand-written communication--and, therefore, stationery. The event's organizers, GCI Group, invited a graphologist, an etiquette expert and a calligrapher to entertain and enlighten shoppers at the new store.

At the Crane & Company store opening event organized by GCI Group, graphologist Arlyn Imberman spoke with Laurie Tipton, a concierge at the Marriott Marquis, about the personality traits exhibited in her handwriting.

Calligrapher Maria Thomas of Pendragon Ink Limited inscribed pen and ink works for shoppers and caught the attention of people passing by the new Crane & Company store in Rockefeller Center.

Etiquette expert Mary Mitchell—a.k.a. Ms. Demeanor—answered questions from shoppers and signed copies of her book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Etiquette, at the Crane & Company store opening.
