FullSizeRender (1)If you’ve wanted to know more about letterpress printing– or you are in need of some one-of-a-kind cards– then make your way to Riverby Books on Caroline Street in Fredericksburg this Saturday. I”ll be there from 11-3, hanging out with anyone who wants to chat!

In person.

Loving These Little Ones

July 13, 2016 ·

When I saw this quote, it resonated. I can remember visiting libraries as a little girl, leaving with a stack of books in my arms. As a teen, I would spend hours on my grandmother’s back porch with a book in hand.

And gardens? Well, I don’t like to garden. But I LOVE to visit them, stare at them, and smell them! My husband brings me a rose or two every Saturday. (He knows.)

So, while I’m not sure these two things will solve all the world’s problems, they at least bring some peace and rest in my life. This is the fourth in a series of short quotes on A1 cards using 14 pt Caslon metal type.

If you like books and flowers, I’ll bet this speaks to you, too…..

How Sweet It Is

Being away for a few days helped me refocus and rest. But, I have to say, I am so happy to be back in the shop. I’m working on a series of cards– one word each. So far I have Boom, Sweet, and Savage.

I even did an FR card for a friend (For Real?) Ha ha….

Now if I could just get the baby birds out of my chimney. They are worrying me AND they are soooo loud. How does this happen when you have a chimney closed off?
