letterpress olympics calendar

I've had this calendar from Foundbath (designed by Charlotte Trounce) starred in my inbox, waiting to be blogged about. It pretty much sums up my dreams every January, great way to keep them alive throughout the year!

flora douville 2012 calendar

   

Every year I buy a Flora Douville Calendar. Her artwork is right up my alley. Even if I am in a bad mood, I can't help but smile when I look at these pretty watercolors. Buy one right here.

stripe & field

Stripe & Field (formerly Black Pearl Press) has pretty much been my favorite letterpress company over the years. Lately, I've been loving tiny, ditsy blue prints and sure enough, there they are on the new site! Check out the new stationery sold in these adorable wooden boxes!

P.S. Elisabeth, the owner, has been a Frolic! guest blogger a few times over the years.

guest post by simple pretty: birth announcements

Carrot & Stick Press introduced me to the elegance of simple letterpress design. These recent custom baby announcements perfectly capture the C&S aesthetic. I'm especially fond of the family tree announcement: it's screaming out to be framed and hung in a place of honor.
