Sunday Stroll With Etsy

                     
We’ve had some sickies in the house this past week, so I thought my Sunday Etsy stroll would focus on the all important get well card. This card comes from Letterary Press, out of Portland (Oregon or Maine, I’m not sure). What I love about these cards are the uniqueness of bringing ordinary [...]

Woof

       
I spoke with a close friend today, and she gave me inspiration for today’s post.  She’s a new mom – ok, to a puppy – and has been engaging in some very mommy-like activities…playdates, swim lessons, etc.  It reminded me not to forget how much people love their pets as much as their kids!  So, [...]

Begin at the Beginning

As I’ve been writing about all things paper, I’ve neglecting THE thing, the ONE aspect of stationary that thrills me, awes me, and makes me want to buy everything in sight when I find it.  Letterpress.  Letterpress is like an old friend and a complete stranger to me.  As long as I’ve been buying stationary, I’ve been [...]
