Bar Mitzvah at the Dude Ranch

The Toby Collection from 9SpotMonk Letterpress

I was told by a very good Jewish friend of mine that no decent set of parents will let their son have a bar mitzvah at a dude ranch. Really I said?? Doesn't hurt to dream.

Letterpress + Robots + Sketchbook = Love

Kids Robot Sketchbook from 9SpotMonk

My son Sandro is a robot fanatic. He walks likes one, he talks like one and sometimes he'll eat like one (which means he's not eating). He says he likes to draw robots so we designed a sketchbook just for him, put it into production and now all robot lovers can have one too. 180 pages of orange, blue and green. 180 pages to take meeting notes in or draw more robots, no doubt for all ages. Comes with 3 non toxic crayons to get you started.

What Does One Princess Give To Another Princess?

Princess Happy Birthday Color in Card from 9SpotMonk Letterpress

Our resident designer Tiffany designed this color in card for her niece, my daughter. One day she was wearing jeans and sneakers and wowza, the next day she requested a pink dress and tiara and that was the end of me. This card definitely speaks to all princesses of all ages - tiaras, diamonds, pearls and a big castle. The card is 100% recycled and comes with three non toxic crayons. My personal advice is to get at least a dozen because not only is your daughter a princess but all her girlfriends are too.

Fashion Week = Fashion Stationery

Splatter Zebra Personal Notes from 9SpotMonk

2011 Fall Fashion Week is coming up fast and furious. So what to do if you don't want to spend $7500 on that 'must have' zebra print skirt? Well, I have an idea... how about $4.00 for a zebra print letterpress card? Or you can spend $7500 on 1875 cards and have enough stationery to last you almost a lifetime.

My favorite recycled journals

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.
