Hijirik For The Holidays

The title sounds like a shameless self promotion (:P), but I was so happy and excited to see my work featured at minted condition! And the lovely Bekka gave the title, hijirik for the holidays — aww so awesome! Thank you so much!!

Please think of me and my shop this Holiday season :) xo Hijiri

Live What You Love 10th Edition

I printed more Live What You Love letterpress prints… 10th edition that is! Just in time for the holidays :) There are a few 9th edition left, but all the classic colors had been out of stock for months so I printed familiar colors + 1 new color… in sweet pink! Love this color, so cute <3

****UPDATE****

We have a winner!!! CONGRATULATIONS, Radhika Ganorkar who commented:

My first instinct it to put it up above my desk but on second thought i’d hang it either on door to the exercise room or in the kitchen, because cooking and cleaning up after needs a lot of motivation!
ps- i just tweeted! [@rganorkar]

I hope this will motivate your cooking and/or cleaning :)

and thank you so much for everyone who took your time to think about where you’d place this print, it was fun to see your comments! Thank you so much!
