As you may have predicted, it’s been another busy weekend around here, yielding yet another stack of new journal covers, another set of books finished and starting to hit Etsy, lots of new cards, business cards, and fun ideas, and another week about to begin.
That characteristic autumn chill hasn’t exactly hit the air [...]
Ok, ok…I won’t go on and on about how busy I am, but I will show you what we’ve been busy doing. Please note the pronoun toward the end of that last sentence.
Though I tried to hide it discreetly in the middle of the kitchen, Matt has found the hulking block of cast iron [...]
After printing placecards, table numbers (who knew table numbers could be interesting?…but they were!), envelopes, and a few small cards, it’s been a busy little day, and it’s bedtime.
My sweet sister, Willa, is moving to Providence this week to be with the love of her life, after far too [...]
Although I wasn’t sure it could be done, I did manage to take a break from books & printing over the weekend and still maintain a pretty good streak of new work! I have several new wedding albums and guest books that I’m working on these days, and a guest book that incorporates a [...]
I’m getting to the end of a long day, at the end of a busy week, that has been a really serious push into full-time self-employment and, it turns out…I’ve got some serious work going on!

The title of this post comes from a sort of odd glass plate that was given to my great grandmother in thanks for her hard work, by one of the associations to which she belonged in Philadelphia (if I’m recalling any of those vague details correctly!). It now resides in our Brooklyn kitchen and [...]
If I keep going at this rate, our weekend in Chicago will have been months past before I get around to telling you about it! So we’ll let the pictures do most of the talking…
A great Friday afternoon at Wrigley!
Buckingham Fountain & Millennium Park
Lincoln Park & the zoo!
There was definitely a gorgeous [...]
Still a little too winded and digging out from under some massive piles of paper & projects, but look at the 93 year old beauty that’s moored in our kitchen (for the moment)!
That’s us, cheers-ing over the ink disc on my brand new (really old!) press! This was pretty much the most celebration we [...]
Printing this morning
After a short, but ridiculously busy first week “in the office” of self-employment, we are headed to Chicago tomorrow morning for the wedding of two great friends this weekend. While I’ll be enjoying the Cubs game Friday, scoping out stationery stores, gift shops, and having a great time with old [...]
