Bring Back Place Cards

Now that Spencer and I are in our new apartment in Brooklyn, I have great entertaining plans in store... including these happy seating cards!

$6.50 to $9.99 for pack of nine or ten. letterpress.

Puppy Love

Oh how I love these mini books. So many people pick up this one, "The Incomplete Book of Dog Names". I don't know if you can read the listings that well, but here are some of the highlights from this particular page: Tater, Yella, Ajax, Garfunkel, Ninja, and Shortstop. Which reminds me. I really need a dog.

$7.00 each.

Always Say Thank You

These letterpress thank-you notes come in nice little boxes of six. Isn't the typewriter particularly great?

$14 per box.

Wrapping

Orange is my color. Those tangerine polka dots are my favorite.

$5.50 to $7.00 for a roll.

Stamps of Approval

These stamps (also come as embossers) are useful in so many ways. I have one for the shop, but I really want that top middle one with the monogram for myself. The problem is that I don't have a middle name and just two letters without that glorious big one in the center might look a little underwhelming? I'm still debating.

$40 plus shipping for the stamp version... $60 plus shipping for the EMBOSSER.

(p.s. totally off subject, but I ate at Franny's on Flatbush last night. Go there if only for the chocolate sorbet! It's like cold melted brownies. Almost as exciting as a new stamp.)

New Baby Card

My sister-in-law, two of my cousins, and a good friend in California all had babies last month. I love this card because it shows all of the emotions within probably even just a couple of hours of an infant's day. Those little guys don't hold anything back, do they? I admire that.

$3.50 for a baby card that tells it like it is.

Teardrop Totes

A girl came into the shop the other day, walked straight over to the new totes and said: "My bag just broke and this is EXACTLY what I need!" They're 100% cotton (great for Spring!) and just as thrilling in real life. Screen printed.

$21 each.

Jamie's Save-the-Date

Jamie has been one of the nicest new friends we've made at Paper Love. I got so excited when she began spreading out torn-out magazine pages and photos for inspiration for her wedding. She also brought pictures of the barn she's getting married in that she wanted on her save-the-date and invitation. I drew a barn to match her style and we added a border for an added element of whimsy. I love the way it turned out in letterpress!

Fun Envelopes

My camera arrived back home again safe and sound and ready for work. So here's what we have first. New punchy envelope stationery! They're super fabulous for thank-yous, hellos, goodbyes, and every noteworthy correspondence need in between.




$19.50 for a box of ten notes and envelopes.

I have so many new things in....

but my little camera friend broke and is hospitalized at the repair shop. When I get it back I'll put up pictures of our new springtime wrapping paper, luxurious boxes of super nice deckled-edge stationery, and our new fabulous lines of personalized stamps and embossers! They're really handy for return addressing. I can't keep my hands off the magical sample embosser though. Someone help me please.

If You Need Pictures Taken...

...I'll put you in touch with the adorable Katherine McPherson. She recently moved to Park Slope and asked if she could take some photos of the shop. Aren't they great?

Letterpress Brooklyn

I'm really lucky to have a shop here in New York because so many talented artists live right here in the neighborhood. I love getting in anything featuring our unique little locale and so do my customers. Park Slopers especially have a deep sense of community pride—these packs of letterpress Brooklyn and Manhattan cityscapes are flying off my shelves!

8 cards and envelopes, $17.
