I’ve been so happy to be working with Alva & Osa

With the current state of the world, social media

With the current state of the world, social media hasn’t been as high on my priority list as usual, and I apologize for that. We still have been churning out some beautiful printing, in spite of everything, and have still gotten to work with some really stellar people. One of those people is Craig, a professional golf caddie, at @bandondunesgolf Resort in Bandon, Oregon. Craig came to us wanting a simple, tactile, professional card that he could hand out at the resort, and this is what we made! Craig’s cards are letterpress printed in two ink colors on super-light-grey cover stock with black and yellow inks. No frills, just simple, beautiful printing. 🏌️ 🏌️‍♀️ ⛳️

Happy Labor Day and a big congratulations to our c

Happy Labor Day and a big congratulations to our clients, Hannah and Aaron Taylor, who were married this past Saturday at a summer camp in Fall Creek, Oregon! Prior to Covid-19, Aaron and Hannah has sent save-the-dates to a significantly larger number of prospective wedding guests, but due to the pandemic, we had to figure out how to courteously make their guest list smaller. The solution we came up with was to create matching invitations (for their nearest and dearest who they wanted to still celebrate with in person) and a set of announcements for their extended community announcing their marriage. Both the invitations and announcements were letterpress printed in black ink on handmade, @porridgepapers 1889 “Wool” Paper, and each came with a small registry/website card that was made out of 1889 “Lambs Ear”. We paired them with a dark, slate grey envelope, foil stamped with their return address in matte white. I love how the simplicity of this design really shows off the beauty of the letterpress printing and handmade paper. It’s just enough, without being “too much”: truly timeless. Congrats, Aaron and Hannah!! 🥂 🍾🎉

New parts are always thrilling! This is our oldest

New parts are always thrilling! This is our oldest press (in years, at 108, and still churning away!), and the one I’ve personally been operating the longest (13 years and counting!). I replaced the rollers once, back in 2007, when she first came into my possession, and that set got replaced today. Thirteen years is a lot of printing! Thanks so much @advancedroller! The new rollers are perfect; I’m over the moon!

New edition to one of our studio walls. I got tired of perpetually losing (and having to rediscover) lost lists and post-it’s all over the place.
