After baking
cookies, making caramels, and drinking hot chocolate for 10 days in a row, and
after spending the last few days with a house full of family and many visits
with friends, today was a little more difficult than planned. At least I got to
put it off for a few hours because my parents’ 8am flight was canceled and
rescheduled for 3pm. We went on a long family walk with the dog and stopped
along the way for pastries and coffee.
Then, on a
stroll through Eastern Market, I finally caught up with the mysterious
letterpress man. I picked up a few beauties that will be perfect for printing Valentines
(thanks, Dad!). Wooden case upon wooden case of type will keep me coming back
every once in a while. Or maybe every week.
