It just feels better to purchase something from a business in your community than a big box store. This year, we're making an effort to buy our holiday gifts from small, local businesses. It's a lovely, personalized touch for planning your seating at dinner. They also come in handy at the table as place cards. Try having your guests write down what they're thankful for on one of our letterpress tags and share their thoughts during dessert.
Maybe you're hosting this year and are trying to put together the perfect table setting. Or show your appreciation with this adorable whisk necklace or a set of our letterpress holiday coasters. If you're heading to a friend's home for your Thanksgiving festivities, nothing says thanks for the stuffing like this handmade porcelain pitcher. Provisions by Food52 is a great resource for unique products for your home. You'll gain some space in your fridge, and your guests will go home happy!

We have lots of different letterpress holiday card sets available on our site, as well as some great nautical themed gifts for everyone on your list.Īre you ready for some turkey? (We're ashamed to say that was sung to the tune of the Monday night football theme.) We're not sure how it happened, but Thanksgiving is only days away. The combination of the soft blue filigree and the navy ship on this piece of makeready really caught our eye. Sometimes the most interesting things happen by accident.

We hate to waste paper so we constantly reuse scraps for set up and registration while we perfect the prints. Lining the layers of a card as precise as this one takes a keen eye and a bit of patience.
We print the red portion of the card first (the boat and red lights), followed by the navy (you can see the plate for the navy in the photo above) and finally the green string of lights. Our beloved Golding Jobber press came from a New England seaside town, so it seems fitting that it should be used for these projects. In case you couldn't tell, we're crazy about nautical themed goods! From whale gift tags to anchor note card sets, we've got it all. We've been busy printing holiday cards these days and we figured we'd give you a peek into the process while we print our Ship Holiday card, which is one of our favorites. If you're looking for a sweet, last minute gift, we can wrap and send them directly to your loved ones. We added a single line of gold foil type because we just couldn't resist a bit of shimmer this time of year.īoth calendars are available on our website shop.

Inspired by a set of custom botanical coasters that we printed, this single sheet wall calendar features beautiful, vintage floral etchings. This year we added a second letterpress calendar to our collection. Whether you choose to display your resolutions with pride or keep them hidden (in case you fall back to your chocolate addiction) is up to you. The set also includes a page to note your resolutions for the year. This new calendar features some of our favorites, such as the gray tea kettle in January, a turquoise March egg and a trio of bright April umbrellas. For the last four years, we've been letterpress printing our small boxed calendars and we think 2015 is our best, yet! Throughout the year, we set aside images that inspire us for our upcoming calendar and match them to the appropriate months.
