Please visit my website for more photos and a link to my shop! This is the work that I made for the Baltimore ACC show. I also was smart enough to bring those bunny cards I made...they sold fabulously!
There is a lot left so head on over if you're looking for a handmade- letterpress- gift or card to send someone!

Here's a shot of what my booth ended up looking like at the Baltimore Show.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The show went really well. I had a lot of customers- sold a lot of cards- met a bunch of really cool artists- and even ran into a bunch of people I haven't seen in years. All in all- it was really an honor to have been part of the Baltimore Craft Show. I have to say that I haven't spent much time in Baltimore- and think its a pretty cool town. Everyone was really nice and helpful. I don't know if shows are the path that I will be taking this business on...but for a first timer- I had a blast.
A special thank you to Kira...my sister...I couldn't have done it without you!
Also a very special thanks to: Pavel- my Mom- my Dad- Julie- and Sue !!!!! You all helped me so much :)
And thank you to the ACC for jurying me in and setting me up in there :)
I'm really glad to be home - it's been a long two weeks! I will be posting photos of the work that I took to the show and also uploading the remaining sets of cards to Etsy soon!
ANOTHER PRESS!!!! I am one lucky girl. A friend of mine e-mailed me a couple weeks ago letting me know that his Dad had this sitting in his shop...and wanted to know if I would want it!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you Chris and Charlie for giving this to me.
These presses are in high demand and REALLY hard to get. I wanted another one in case mine breaks or in case I want to have someone help me in the future...(sam or emma...need a summer job?) this is perfect.
I'll clean it up and get it working in no time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Also big thanks to Pavel who helps me bring all these old machines home and up to the THIRD floor studio...ummm, yeah....we're going to have to change that soon.
Also!!! On deck (or rather on floor) is my new book press!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you Devy for letting me have this!!! I am so blessed-
This will be put to immediate use to flatten some cards that I am making for the show. They have been soaked in water four times each and the paper buckled...so I'm hoping that this press will flatten them back to flat in no time. Plus, think of all the things I can do with this press. Book making may be in the near future!
hope everyone has a happy weekend...this is my new business card that i just finished printing for my show in Baltimore...what do you think:? I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on it.
