Lots of festive printing today! This thank you note matches invitations I printed a few months back. I love the effect of this snowy scene, printed in clear ink, for a custom holiday party invitation. This is just part of a larger holiday project, so I’ll be sure to post more pictures [...]

Just a few hours of printing today, using black ink only. I printed up two sets of calling cards, and half of the thank you notes. Tomorrow I’ll finish those up by adding a graphic in clear ink.

A fun and exhausting day indeed. The arts festival and sale are wrapping up, and the crowds are shuffling toward subway entrances as we speak. We got to meet so many nice people, and were especially glad that Grace from Design*Sponge popped by.
I managed to pop down to Water Street this afternoon [...]

Wrapping up the first day of this weekend’s sale, lots of nice people stopped in. Here are some shots of the paper+cup and moontree goods, and a photo of Matt from Sesame Letterpress (downstairs on the 5th floor). Tomorrow will be another long day, we hope a lot like today.

Most of today and tomorrow will be devoted to packing cards and other little items for the weekend sample sale. I’m really excited. Until now I’ve been thinking mostly about paper, tags, tables, etc. But now that we’re getting lots of nice feedback from readers, I’m really looking forward to having folks [...]
