printmaker dujour: dear musketeer

My family's mariner influence likely made me a sucker for this print by Dear Musketeer, but really how could you resist the sentiment combined with that brilliant hand lettering? Love at first sight, friends...

I wasn't the least bit surprised to learn that Ask Alice Stationery is based in Melbourne, Australia. I've found that a great number of talented stationers and enthusiastic paperistas seem to hail from Australia. I know I'm not alone in obsessing over the Sydney based, Upon a Fold. I placed an order from them recently and am already plotting my next purchase. Coincidentally, you may find Ask Alice's adorable postcard books stocked by Upon a Fold, take a look see here...
