I was reading the October issue of Domino on my way back from Chicago last weekend and came across some beautiful images featuring the work of Anna Dove. Anna creates printed and hand-painted wallpapers and fabrics. When I got home from Chicago I couldn’t wait to visit her website. The image on the home page is so stunning.
It looks like you can purchase online right here.
Tugboat Printshop has created a cool limited edition t-shirt design for etsy. The t-shirt design is actually made from a woodblock. To watch how this is done click here.

I don’t have much to say about these cool cards from Vanessa Cavaco other than I have a short list of people to send the “shut the f up” one to. I’m sure everyone else out there has a list of their own. 
Anyway, Vanessa does have an awesome etsy shop. Check it out here.
Blue Ribbon Design has some beautiful new letterpress hang tags. Each tag is finished with a copper eyelet and herringbone ribbon. Size is 2″ x 4″.

After finding Tara Hogan’s awesome Halloween cards yesterday, I thought I would check to see what other cool stuff I could find for this spooky holiday. Below are some of my favorites.
Assorted Halloween tags from Petite Pear Paperie. Each tag is 1.5″ and comes with black string. Reverse side is white with room for writing. All tags are packaged in a resealable poly bag.
Set of 4 skull and bones note cards from pressure letterpress. Best described as “Silvery and glamtastic“. You can choose black or red envelopes. A silver pen is also included with every order.
These are probably my favorite from turtle papers. Set includes 6 flat cards and 6 European inspired pointed flap envelopes. Cards are printed on highest quality correspondence luxe natural white textured cover stock with archival inks.
Miscelena’s etsy shop has some cool Halloween cards. You can never go wrong with spiders and bats. The inside is blank for your message. Card is approximately 4″w x 5.25″h, and includes a subtly-speckled paper envelope.
I’m not sure why but Halloween is my least favorite holiday. I think you either love it or you hate it and I hate it. However, I love these Halloween cards by Tara Hogan. You can purchase them right here in her etsy shop. In case you are unfamiliar with Tara Hogan you can view more of her work at Ink and Wit. I guarantee you’ll love what you see.
Kristy emailed me to tell me about her custom invites and stationery. Kristy’s website is called Momental and she creates invites for all occasions. I was looking through the site and one thing I really liked about Kristy’s work is the variety she displays. There are many different styles present on her site. So, no matter what you’re looking for chances are that Kristy is going to be able to help you out.
We just got back from Chicago tonight. I love that city and there is so much to do but by the time I get home I’m always so exhausted. We had a really good weekend though. On Friday we went to see the Cubs play the Pirates. Visited a nice beach for some relaxation time on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon we did some shopping which included stopping by my favorite store of all time, Paper Source. (Maybe someday they will open a Cleveland location.) Then later on that night we had some drinks at Bin 36. We also ate at Giordano’s TWICE during our trip! That is the best pizza ever. I’m sad our weekend is over already. Time goes by so fast when you’re having fun. ha ha!
