And the answer is…workin’ hard!
These guys are up on Etsy already, and I have lots more fun Japanese papers to come!
We’re down into the home stretch on days till full time printing and binding begin…some people would argue that those days have already begun, but it’s for real as of next […]
Just a little midweek update…
A few new journals - covered in Paris maps and vegetable seed packets - making their way to Etsy
And I’ll have several fun new printing projects to share with you soon. Plus, I’ll have some dates soon for bookbinding workshops here in Brooklyn!
For now, we’re just checking things […]
I know you all probably have the impression that we sit around here with our feet up, sipping fancy summer drinks and grilling on the roof…but I swear we do some work, too!
This last week has been a particularly busy one, putting together a lot of letterpress quotes for printing projects, working on some new […]
Despite the seemingly constant drizzle, we’ve managed to have a pretty wonderful time of things over this long weekend…a little grilling (which I think made Matt ready to move to the suburbs, just for a yard), some very healthy rooftop plants that are a sure sign it’s nearly mid-July, and fireworks all around!

Lately, I don’t even find myself making excuses for all the mornings and evenings of folding and trimming and sewing. I just love it a little too much and that’s just how it’s gonna be.
Today was a welcome day off which, right in line with my track record, ended up being one of the […]
Just in case everyone wasn’t already aware, I do actually spend close to every waking second thinking about paper and books. Some would say this is a little extreme, and it probably is, but I tend to enjoy it. At 7:00 p.m. today, after a full day of printing, binding, designing, and invitation […]
One color down, one to go! Last night was a printing marathon of the latest batch of invitations, which I’m printing on Crane’s Lettra in ecru with a combination of a gorgeous copper ink for the text and fuchsia for the floral decorative elements. Copper is done, fuchsia later in the week! […]
My feet hurt, my hands hurt, but my head is very, very happy. Before this productive little weekend even started, one major change happened in our little lives that - while terrifying - is wildly exciting. For a while now, my time has been pushed to the edges, as far as my books […]
Here we are: Saturday morning, coffee not 10 inches away, sun pouring in our front windows, and I am knee deep in wedding invitation schedules and designs, not to mention plate, paper and ink orders. By the end of this week I should have some very fun samples to share! No […]
While I spent a large portion of the (luxuriously long!) weekend cleaning and outside, I did put something together last night that I’m proud of and excited about.
Lots of measuring, putting together pieces and constructing hinges
The outside covered, the inside has yet to be lined - hinge structure still visible
This small […]
