We’ve still got new arrivals coming in from the orders we placed at the National Stationery Show in May! It was like Christmas all over again this afternoon when i got to unwrap a bundle of incredible cards from Twig & Fig. These cards are foil stamped on wood veneer- which, if I do say so myself, is probably one of the coolest things i’ve ever seen. I highly encourage all you locals to stop in and check ‘em out! And while you’re here let us know what you think of our great new paint colors. The whole place is getting a facelift for it’s 16th birthday and even though we’re still very much a construstion zone, it’s all coming together quite nicely! For those of you unlucky enough to be too far away for a quick visit, keep your eye out- more pictures are on their way!

fun day

we just finished up 1,500 belly bands for a client. this was fun to work on, with a color like that how could you not keep smiling? the paper was made from recycled fibers and embedded with wildflower seeds. the type was done on our letterpress and the brackets were die cut. i was very pleased with the end results and just to make sure it really did germinate i tested a sheet. still after all these years i get so excited when i see little sprouts emerging through the paper!

well it is time to start thinking about designing a baby announcement. i got to see a picture of our new little one on valentine’s day. because of that i told my wife we should name him/her valentine. she does not like that idea, i thought it was cute. i guess we will wait and see. we have 6 months to think about it and to design an announcement. anybody have a great idea? i thought about having my soon to be 5 year old daughter draw a picture of daddy, mommy, herself and then her new little sister/brother and having her announce it to the world. of course is sounds a lot better in my head, hard to explain. i guess we shall see.
