Subtle Glances Letterpresss

Subtle Glances Letterpress has some beautiful designs and obvious attention to detail.  I picked out a few that caught my eye, but to see more you can check out their blog here.

Egg Press

I love Egg Press - they are one of my favorite letterpressers.   Their monkey card is one of my favorites.  But now they've outdone themselves with their very cute pouches - can't decide which one I like better.  Check out their tshirts and other new items as well.

Hammerpress

I love the posters at Hammerpress - you can purchase them as well.   Check out the postcards and art prints as well.  They are very talented designers.

Beautiful Invitations

Thanks to DailyCandy I stumbled across these fabulous invitations from Ceci New York  - really stunning invitations for weddings, etc.

Paper and more paper!

I was so excited yesterday to get my package from my Paper N' Ribbon buddy Cat - in her lovely well thought out package was a number of surprises.   I've taken some pictures for you all to see - the first one shows all the fantastic paper that Cat put together with lovely little gift tags and vibrant colors.  I loved how Cat also added in the beautiful paper napkisn of blue and brown and notecards which I can't wait to use.  To top it all of there are two lovely letterpress cards in there. 

The very best part of the whole package where the cards that Cat designed herself - the photo doesn't really do them justice, but you get the idea.

And last but not least, an amazing book Paperie from the store Kate's Paperie (one of my favorite stores) - it's a plethora of resources and history about paper and how it's been used over the years with loads of beautiful pictures such as the one shown below.

I'm really blown away by the lovely things in my package - thanks so much Cat!

Cool Blog #2 - Eva Nouveau

I've decided that I'm going to do the Cool Blog posts once or twice a month - to highlight those blogs that I consistently can't get enough of.  There are amazing blogs everywhere, and this certainly isn't intended to make it competitive, it's just that blog that happens to really impact and inspire me.  And it's a chance for others who perhaps have simliar interests to see these Cool Blogs. 

So you may remember the first Cool Blog - and that was Mav's lovely port2port blog.  I go  to hers regularly, daily, obsessively unless something tedious like work gets in the way.   

Cool Blog #2 is Eva Nouveau  who I found through Oh Joy!.  Here are the reasons why I think Eva has a Cool Blog:

• First off, Eva does letterpress and, in my eyes, that's bitchin'
• She has a wealth of letterpress resources, links, etc. 
• Her idea of design porn is the same as mine
• Her work is fantastic and I'm very jea...opps I mean envious (that's the one where I'm happy for Eva, right ?)

Check it out when you have a chance!
