I have the distinct pleasure of getting to see buyer's reactions to Blue Barnhouse's line of cards on a regular basis. It's pretty entertaining to watch the array of responses, more often than not, the type of laugh that escapes before the person even realizes that they are cackling aloud. That was most definitely me in many of these booths this year, particularly in Old Tom Foolery's booth. Hot damn, do they ever know the perfect combination of wicked wit.

{2009 national stationery show} new from gilah press

Brand new from Gilah Press + Design: A series of blank letterpress notebooks. They are hobby themed, which I think is such fun idea. Themes include: art, cooking, gardening, music, sewing and writing. The notebooks are making their debut at The National Stationery Show next week, be sure to swing by Booth No. 2159 for a peek in person.

par avion: gah-gah for gilah

Another perfect package, this one from Kat at Gilah Press + Design. The coaster on the far right reads 'party like a rockstar'. The perfect sentiment for the brink of the new year.
