Even though it’s nearly as late as it could possibly be, here I am thinking, “Already?!?” But it’s true—even if you don’t do Black Friday (as you can probably guess, I’m partial to Small Business Saturday myself), today’s the “official” opener of the holiday season. And for perhaps the first time ever, we’re actually ready for it! (Well, mostly.)

We have some new additions to the shop to kick off the holidays—starting with a small letterpress keepsake version of the Birth of Venus steamroller print we did earlier this year.

And we’ve finally restocked our supply of mini letterpress journals (you folks cleaned us out last time we had them in the shop, and it took quite awhile to make and photograph more!). We call ’em “Lemonade Journals,” because we made them from the “lemons” that crop up during printing—misregistered prints and tiny flaws that otherwise would have ended up in the recycling bin. But with some cute stitching and fun colored paper on the inside, Jessica turned them into perfect little stocking stuffers.

Be sure to get your orders in early!  We’ll be shipping holiday orders daily until 4 pm PST on Tuesday, December 17 (when the shop will close for the holiday break).

In the meantime, I’m raising a virtual glass of eggnog to you: happy holidays!
