We are happy to announce that Sunlit Letterpress cards are now available at Alphagraphics in Chicago (1017 W Washington Blvd.)! What a beautiful brick building! (Because our weather is so mild here on the West Coast, we don't have a lot of brick buildings, so I miss seeing them.) Be sure to check out their new stationery storefront if you live in the Chicago area!

And now...time for the winner of the most recent Sunlit Letterpress Giveaway Contest...and the winner is...drumroll...

VENESSA! (comment #2, picked using the Random Number Generator at Random.org). Venessa suggested Joan's Papers and PaperNiche - two shops in Florida - thanks Venessa! Please send me your postal mailing address to the email address in the header of the blog and I will ship your letterpress goodies to you!

Thank you to everyone who participated by posting in the comment section. Hopefully our products will soon make it to your suggested shops so you can find our stationery in your area!

This week has been steadily busy with wedding invitation projects. As soon as I have a chance I will post photos of the completed pieces.

Happy letterpressing!

We are excited to announce that the Sunlit Letterpress Prêt-À-Porter line is now available at Planet Kid in Toronto, Ontario. This wonderful boutique offers beautiful things for children - and I wish it was closer so I could shop for my friends' and relatives' babies and children. The store offers clothes, home decor, and accessories for babies to age 6, and now letterpress stationery (including our "Bun in the Oven", "Oh Baby" and notecard designs).

Next time I'm in Toronto, I'm definitely stopping by:

Planet Kid
960 Queen Street West
Toronto, Ontario
M6J 1G8

If you are a retailer interested in carrying our stationery, please feel free to contact us for a wholesale catalogue and order form. We'd love to hear from you!

Happy letterpressing!

Random News & Updates

I am trying to keep up with the blogging, but sometimes it's so hard! I've had a very busy few days since my last post - some custom printing projects have kept me at the press, and some web work at my graphic design studio has kept me at the computer quite a bit. On the weekend I took a few hours to do something fun with a friend - shopping. Simple, wonderful shopping. I find that running a graphic design business and a printing studio tends to eat up a lot of my "fun" time on weekends, so sometimes I need to schedule in some me time. Anyways, it was good to get out and have a change of scenery.

For those who have contacted me about stores carrying my Ready-to-Wear stationery line in Vancouver, take note - Gingerly, a new store carrying local and Canadian designer accessories and decor, will have its grand opening on March 8th from 10am-6pm. Be sure to check it out - along with Sunlit Letterpress stationery, you'll also find collections from Filou Jewelry, Patina Leather Goods, Track & Field Designs, Gingerly Designs, and many more. Be sure to say hello to Megan, the shop owner:

Gingerly 11869 227th Street, Maple Ridge, BC http://www.gingerlydesigns.com/

In other news, I recently was interviewed by HOW Magazine for an upcoming issue on handmade design. Check out the July/August issue for a feature on Sunlit Letterpress! I am so excited to see it - it's hard to wait for Summer!

And finally, if you've been hoping to score some custom letterpress stationery for yourself, but were waiting for a deal, then be sure to check out Vitamin V's Wedding Feature mailing on Tuesday, Feb 19th - there's a promo in there from me to you!

Happy letterpressing!
