Our press mechanic John called one late afternoon last week said he had a gift for us, a Chandler and Price 10 by 15, complete with motor. I've been wanting a press like this for a while.

2009 NSS 9SpotMonk BoothWe had a new location this year, it was fun to create a new booth and put up our work. Tif and I love doing the shows. Set up is always a combination of stress, headaches, painting, hauling, etc. But when it's all done and we've had enough of mediocre Japanese food delivery, we're usually psyched to start the show.Feverishly painting away once the walls were up.Our new

Hi. I'm excited to be guest blogging for the 9SpotMonk girls today! Viv and Tiff were busy at their booth showing off their new EcoFabulous wedding line so they asked me to wander ICFF and NSS and pull together some things that made me gasp and smile.GOT WOOD! Jack Larimore stools made of reclaimed wood near his PA studio defy gravity and are stunning. Uhuru table with mint green metal detail.

We were cleaning out the studio last week and found 5 huge boxes of printed samples from past clients. Some are pretty cool and some are better off never being printed in the first place. But they're all here. So we picked some oldie but goodies and will be posting them here and there in the upcoming weeks.This birth announcement was actually my first paid letterpress job. The announcements were

This invitation is one of our favorites. My father wrote the Chinese calligraphy that is blind debossed in the background (the calligraphy is of the couple's names in Chinese). This is an invitation for a civil ceremony reception. The couple, based in Japan, had their ceremony in Auckland, New Zealand and their reception and renewal of vows in the US. We worked with the couple on this invite

We made these cute tarp bags to give away at one of our trade shows last year. Giving bags away, whether they be paper or fabric are common place these days. We put our brainstorming cells together to create a cute bag that once was done in it's life of holding catalogues and business cards at a trade show to be able to be used for something else. I wanted the bag to be big enough for most hand

This is one of the coolest recycled bird houses I've ever seen. Found it on Etsy, it's by Old Crow Farm. We have tons of birds in the spring in the garden. This would be perfect. See it here on Etsy.Found this great way to recycle wooden boxes on one of our favorite blogs Apartment Therapy. A great way to use found objects. See the full story here.

So you're talking to your brother on the phone and you're trying to convince him that taking a pay cut right now IS a good idea... at least he still has a job. He should have become a pharmacist but he opted to become a big time financials guy on Wall Street instead. Don't fight about it on the phone, just send him a card... he'll get the picture.Besides, at $3.00 a card, could be the best little

I think my all time favorite journals would have to be these Animal and Friends sketch books. They are just so cute and each one has a thought bubble for my name. The boss lady gave me a set for Christmas and I was just elated. I name each sketch a category to keep my scribbles and thoughts a bit neater than college days.-- Katie, Studio Manager

What could be a better time than right before our first trade show of the year to start relocating our work studio? We've all been thinking about this for a long time and the wish list gets longer and longer. Who sits where, who gets the window seat, who's feng shui will be better if s/he's computer is... the list goes on.After ranting about this for about a year. We're doing it. I made the first
