A Letterpress Christmas 2007

November 12, 2007 // kristen // 1 replies

It’s time again for A Letterpress Christmas! Last year’s series was so popular and so fun for me that I just had to do it again this year. The letterpress studios truly make it easy for me, as they continue to create beautiful designs for the holidays. Stay tuned in the coming days and weeks for “A Letterpress Christmas 2007” posts. Hopefully you’ll find a thing (or twelve) that you like.

Decor8 Calendar Round Up

November 06, 2007 // kristen // 4 replies

Speaking of calendars, decor8 has a must see two part 2008 calendar roundup. Featured are everything from linen calendars to silk-screened calendars to letterpress and beyond. If nothing else has convinced you that you need six calendars for next year, then nothing will.

I am a little sad to see that the Debi van Zyl concentric circle calendar sold out, as it was freakin’ cool!
