Wow! I just fell in love with these small gift boxes this morning from Field & Sea. They are gorgeous and completely handmade. The etsy shop of Field & Sea carries many different patterns and sizes. Great for gifts like jewelry and candy.

I received my Holiday Target catalog last night in the mail. I remembered reading a post on design*sponge that Amy Ruppel was doing all the artwork for target this season. The cover of the catalog is beautiful. I want to save it! My husband probably thinks I’m crazy.
Amy has some holiday cards for sale at Vigo. They are $42.00 for a box of 10. It would be a hard decision deciding on which set to purchase.
The next online sale at Amy’s website is Friday November 30th. Mark your calendars. Right now you can purchase the print shown in the last picture above at Reform School. Amy is the featured artist. The print is 11 x 14, signed and numbered. The cost is $35.00 with proceeds going to The american Bird Conservancy.

Aren’t these little birds cute? These cards are from the etsy shop of In-vita Paper Studio. Each set of 6 cards are 3.5 x 5 and comes with matching 4Bar envelopes. Of course there are some holiday cards listed in this etsy shop. I’d be interested in seeing some more designs from In-vita. I loved the blue and yellow color combination on the thank you cards above.

Yesterday when I got home from work the calendar I ordered from Cecily ink was waiting for me. I just wanted to say it’s even more beautiful in person. I bought it for a gift so unfortunately I had to wrap it back up. There was also an awesome gift tag included with the calendar. The whole package was just perfect.

Some holiday cards from the etsy shop of a. favorite. I love this wood block type. Check out Amber’s shop for some beautiful and unique letterpress greeting cards.

Sarah recently emailed me to tell me about her 2008 gocco calendar for sale on etsy. I’m a huge fan of Sarah’s work and I have posted about her shop in the past. The calendars are 5″ x 7″ and printed on 110 lb solar white cover stock. The calendar pages are kept together with a bulldog clip. You can purchase one right here.
Thanks for the email Sarah!


I recently got an email from Nicole, the owner and designer of nic events. I’m not quite sure how Nicole even had the time to email me. It seems she has been pretty busy lately. Nic events was recently featured in the October issue of HOW magazine. (click here to read the article) A month later Nicole has relaunched an updated website.
When I was reading through Nicole’s website I found one sentence that I feel makes nic events stand out from the rest. “Your event design will mean more to you than anything that you could have picked out of a book”. Nicole focuses on the event, not just the invitation. Visit nic events if you’re looking to add some special elements to a special event. I’m sure she can help you!



Invite Design recently launched a new web site as well as an “environmentally conscientious” Green Line. Not only are these invitations eco-friendly but they are absolutely gorgeous. There are so many options to choose from.
All Green Line invitations and envelopes are printed on 100% recycled or tree-free content with environmentally-friendly inks. These invitations can be customized just like the previous Select and Elite invite collections.
Putting all of this together is a lot of work and an extreme amount of time and research. I’m very happy for Genevieve and Nicole on the launch of this new Green Line. Congrats!


Neah Bay Douglas Letterpress was recently featured in the September issue of Town & Country Weddings. NBD creates custom wedding invitations that are letterpress printed on 100% cotton handmade paper. NBD also carries a custom line of baby stationery and boxed cards. My favorite part of these stationery products are the pressed botanical embellishments. They are presented so elegantly. They have a small presence but truly make for a unique product.
