recent press

We've had the great fortune of having some amazing press recently, including a feature in yesterday's Washington Post [!] ...

You can see the Washington Post article here.  A big thank you to Southern Living [and Cory!] for doing such a great story on stationery designers and shops - we appreciate the love.  And it was definitely a career highlight to be asked to design something for Martha Stewart Weddings, featured in the December issue.
