Oh So Beautiful Paper

Archive for January, 2009

Satsuma Press is one of my favorite letterpress studios (Lynn's calendar was one of my favorites for 2009 – there are still a couple left here!}, so it's no surprise that her Valentine's Day cards are also some of my favorites:

The Valentine's Day set includes two panoramic A6 cards with envelopes and a 5×7 print, and can be purchased as a full set or separately.  Both the cards and print feature delicate feathers first drawn and then letterpress printed by Lynn
in peacock blue ink with the words 'birds of a feather … flock
together.'  All available right here.

A couple more Valentine's Day cards to share with you, this time from Ice Cream Social:

All available for purchase right here.

I'm always on the hunt for a great "congratulations" cards to give to friends, whether they're getting married or just got a new job.  These cards from Pearl & Marmalade and Smock Paper are a couple of my recent favorites:

A little Friday morning inspiration to start off the day:

I still have kitchens on the brain – mostly since my current kitchen is my least favorite room in our apartment.  I'm loving the idea of a kitchen table with drawers for placemats and silverware – a great idea, particularly for my small, storage-challenged apartment.  This table seems to be a repurposed desk, which depending on the size could still function as a dining table.

I've been slowly collecting and archiving my favorite images via tumblr – if you're interested in seeing more, you can visit my tumblr site here.
