poppytalk handmade

From May 12 through June 6th you can find us over at poppytalk handmade, a virtual craft fair of sorts created by the lovely Jan and Earl of poppytalk fame. we are excited to debut some of our newest cards which so far, have only been available at the most recent Chicago Depart-ment show. (most of them sold out at the show... exciting).

This particular month will feature paper goods makers in celebration of the annual National Stationery Show in NYC. It is the place to be every year for anyone even slightly interested in selling stationery products. This year I will be attending as press for Etsy for an article I am writing for them. If you sell cards or want to sell cards and have never been, I encourage you to go to the show next year. Note, it is a trade only event so you must prove that you are in the industry.

three bears

After spying a mention of this artist on poppytalk, I had to check out the lovely Etsy shop of sara jane. I am totally digging this three bears print and think it would look perfect in Jackson's room. And speaking of Jackson's room, we were recently in the running for a contest over at Apartment Therapy's nursery site ohdeedoh. We didn't win but had fun anyway.

As for letterpress news, I may have a big announcement soon but can't quite give up the goods yet. I am also working on a super crazy (in a good way) invitation for the most dynamic couple, Betsy and Aitor and will post some pics soon. Imagine a two color, six page, accordion fold booklet as your invitation. Yup. That is what I am printing. It will be monumental!
