Grey Moggie Press

a splash of color

 
I wanted to print a variety of gift tags for the craft fair on Saturday. These bright orange literal “gift” tags make me smile and will brighten my table on Saturday night. Now to dream and scheme other ways to make my table pretty pretty.

letterpress update

I’m hoping to reopen my etsy shop soon and when I do, I want it to be full of pretty letterpress goodness. I spent Monday working on that goal and printed lots of holiday cards and gift tags and some custom stationery.  Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming. 

 

friday favorites: the random edition

it's been a good week for us. a new kitten joined our family, i spent some time in the letterpress studio, and the rain finally stopped. here are some of my favorite things right now.

i can’t wait to turn this paper goodness into paper goodies. they will be gift tags soon.

letterpress. i  printed holiday cards and personalized stationery on a sunny day in the studio. it made my week.

my one canoe two calendar. my favorite months are december + june because i love those colors on the grey paper, september because bikes are awesome, and october because vintage chairs are spooky without being creepy.

handmade soap from union street soapworks. picked up at the clarendon farmers market on wednesday. toasted coconut + lavender oatmeal.

my kitty cats starting to get along. maybe.

happy weekend!

flowers; flowers on packages

Here's another way to use strands of paper flowers, like those I hung from the ceiling at this engagement party. Tie them with ribbon, along with a gift tag, to sweeten up your next gift wrapped package. Here's a photo of Friday's giveaway prize, all wrapped up and ready to ship.

I also think the folding tree flowers would be great to adorn your holiday packages. I tied a couple to this gift bag to see how it would look. Quite nice :)

Etsy Greetings Carnival and a Giveaway

Gift tags

I'm swamped with homework and other things today, but I wanted to take a minute to share these letterpressed lovelies I whipped up in the shop a couple weeks ago. With the holidays just around the corner,* I'm hoping to find lots of ways to use these gift tags!

* Maybe it seems a little early to talk of the holidays being just around the corner, but by Christmas only one semester of law school and one bar exam** will stand between me and more freedom than I've known in a while. So please pardon my premature anticipation for that festive time of year. I've got a lot riding on it this year.
** Please let it be only one.
