Hey everyone… I know I've been a bit MIA the past few days.  I promise that I'll be back to my normal schedule as soon as things calm down a bit in a few days. But in the meantime, I wanted to share a few updates from some of my favorite shops!

First up… the lovely Satsuma Press is having a holiday giveaway with the purchase of a 2009 letterpress calendar! This easily one of my favorite calendars of 2009, so the holiday giveaway is really just a fabulous bonus for those of you who haven't scooped one up yet.

Here are the details: Purchase a 2009 Satsuma Press Calendar between Friday, Dec 12th and Friday, December 19th and be entered in a {random} drawing to win one calendar (to keep or give as a gift), one set of Satsuma Press letterpress stationery, and a special non-letterpress gift from Lynn!  To enter the giveaway contest after purchase, leave a comment on the Satsuma Press blog right here – and make sure you leave Lynn with a way to contact you!

Next up… a Delphine Press holiday sale!  Delphine Press is running a store-wide sale through December 31 – just enter Holiday15 for $15 off any orders of $50 or Holiday35 for $35 off any orders of $100 or more. I'm loving these recycled cotton totes myself:

And finally… Hello Handmade Paperie!  Shanna and Betsy updated the shop this morning — and although they've closed up sale of their paper goods through the holidays, they've added these lovely ornament and New Year's bunting downloads:

Aren't these lovely? I can't wait to see what Shanna and Betsy come up with in 2009!
