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!

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!

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

Hooray!
