The 2009 calendars are slowly starting to roll out + I know I'm going to have a very hard time deciding which ones I want for myself + for gifts...
Here are two I'm totally loving. The top is a super simple but super lovely one from Sugar Paper + the bottom from Cat Seto -- I love, love the wood holder. I did learn my lesson last year + won't be making the same mistake of waiting too long.
I spotted these over at Paper Schmaper + wanted to share ...
I love great snail mail like this. Can be found here.
I think handwritten + letterpress are now my two favorite combos for letterpress designs ...Aren't these all just so lovely? Definitely inspiration for me as I'm thinking of the direction I'd like to take with my own letterpress work.
[Love work from: Black Pearl Press, Mr. Boddington's Studio, Alee & Press + Martha Stewart-via Brooklyn Bride]
I'm loving the blind letterpress technique [no ink, just impression] I've been seeing here + there ...
So simple, quiet but stylish. Now I'm even more excited for my letterpress class. Just a couple of more weeks!

I'm really looking forward to seeing all the goodies that come out of the National Stationery Show ...
A few years ago a friend + I went up to NY to check out the show for fun -- yes we were/are paper nerds. It was during my event planning days so we were able to get vendor passes. So glad we went ... its really all you imagine + more. Literally, paper heaven. And back then I didn't even know what to look for or who to lookout for. I think if I went now I'd go completely crazy with excitement.
