Came across this beautiful Quilt Card Set by Krank Press on Etsy. Via this treasury, actually. (Thank you for including my work, too!)
Each card is letterpress printed with 5 colors! That is a lot of work and it shows for sure — they are so gorgeous! Love each pattern, too, I just wanna decorate these on my wall…

I came across these great collage art work by Violet May when I was looking around UPPERCASE magazine tumblr pages (filled with great imagery!) and I was immediately so in love <3 that I had to share.
There are more here! :)

Just wanted to let you know that I have printed the whole collection of the Live What You Love 9th edition and they are all up and available at my etsy shop!
A couple brand new colors…
I had been wanted to print it in seaform green (one of my favorite colors!) and finally did! :)
Live What You Love letterpress print in Seaform Green:
and I wanted to try some new shade of blue… I didn’t know what to call this blue so I named it “Sweet Blue” — it’s in between baby blue and light steel blue. It’s quite sweet as you can see :)
Live What You Love letterpress print in Sweet Blue:
Along with these familiar colors, too. Oh, these are all printed on 100% cotton Lettra Fluorescent White paper (I’ve been printing on Pearl White) so the colors are more vivid and sharp, I think.
Live What You Love letterpress print in Grass Green (Yellow Green):
Live What You Love letterpress print in Light Grey:
Live What You Love letterpress print in Red:
Enjoy!!

I know I am so late on this, but I just saw this video on etsy blog — Handmade Portraits: Sharon Montrose.
I have been a big fan of her work and so seeing this video was such a treat and I was so inspired by her love of photographing animals. So precious.
Make sure to check out her amazing work here. If she ever takes photos of dachshunds or chinchillas, I am SO getting it…

How about pretty vintage plates today? These sunny deelight vintage plates from Ameelia Bedelia’s Vintage Deelights are making me happy this morning :) Love the yellow color and the pattern.
I really want to try hanging plates in our new apartment since we’ll have our first dining area ever! I will be watching this tutorial over and over and see if I can make it pretty like that… wish me luck!
OK, off to letterpress studio… have a great day, everyone! See you tomorrow…

Came across this awesome vintage tin from Hart’s Coffee in 1940. LOVE the big red heart (of course) and the letter H symbol, the color combination as well as the fonts. I could stare at it all day…

See you all tomorrow! Have a great day :)
