About Coco Paperie

I launched Coco Paperie after receiving such kind feedback from friends, family, clients and strangers about my invitation designs. Coco Paperie is a reflection of my love of paper, nature and all things minimalist and beautiful.

At Home Letterpress Machine

Wow, letterpress for the masses.

QuicKutz Letterpress Machine

It's a pretty nice starter kit and Paper Source offers other ink colors and printing plates as well. Who knows if it will work with polymer plates that you get from say, Boxcar Press.

If anyone gets one and can show me some samples, I'd love to see!

Neither Snow Calligraphy

Today I discovered Neither Snow in my Things while cleaning out the inbox and I am in love with the calligraphy.

Niether Snow Envelope Calligraphy

Neither Snow's style is so organic, casual and elegant; not fussy. It's so fluid... I can relax in all the loops and swashes. What I love best is when script is paired with or mixed with more roman letters. The contrast is just lovely.

I also love that Neither Snow will hunt down stamps as part of your project or there might already be some in stock. (One of my big hobbies as a kid was to collect stamps. I still have many of them and buying hoards of them is always a temptation of mine.)

It's been awhile since there has been a post on the Neither Snow blog and there are some very cool finds (like these bicycle envelopes):

I'm sure many of us can relate to blog neglect due to being very busy or heck, things just coming up! I'm crossing my fingers there are more discoveries to find there.

Sigh... I really do miss snail mail and I think I may have to contact Neither Snow for some personalized stationery!

Reich Paper Letterpress Paper & Envelopes

One of my favorite things to do is gather (ok, more like hoard) paper samples. So when I was invited to West Coast Papers' "Tailgate Party" yesterday evening I couldn't possibly turn it down!

I met my friend and designer, Shona Lepis of Eye Design Studio at the party and filled our shopping bags.

Back on Track

It's funny how there are moments in life that tell you to keep moving forward. It happens to me a lot. Just when I think I should give up or take a break something or someone shows up to encourage you to stay on track. I suppose "putting it out there" is the first step. I'm not sure where I learned this but as I get older I'm truly starting to believe that if you share whatever is going on to the universe and say it out loud, the universe will respond...
