Thanks to the Internet we get to work with people from across the world on a daily basis so when Julie from Six Chancery Lane based in Hong Kong contacted us to print business cards we were glad to hear that word of our letterpress craft had spread so far around the globe.
Here are some pictures of the card:

If you’re going to be in NYC May 18th-21st, please make sure to stop by booth #1955 at the National Stationery Show in the Javitz Center.
Some of you might know that this is going to be my first year exhibiting at the National Stationery Show at the Javitz Center in NYC in May 2008. This new endeavor is very exciting but I am getting extremely nervous. I have all these thoughts running through my mind; especially “will the buyers like my designs”? If anyone plans on going to the show in May, please stop by because I would love to meet you (my booth location might change so I will post my booth number when it is finalized). Anyone who has exhibited there before, I would love to hear from you on tips and ideas for booth setup and anything else you deem necessary. Also, is it worth getting the foam core panels?
According to John Barrett of www.letterpressthings.com, I am running not walking. I have aquired 2 letterpresses within a one week period and I just filled out my application to exhibit at the National Stationery Show www.nationalstationeryshow.com in May 2008. John Barrett is another member of the letterpress community who was instrumental in getting me started. He has a great check list on his website about what you will need to get starting printing. Most of this stuff can be bought from him directly at his shop at 55 North Chicopee Street, Chicopee Massachussetts. Check out his open dates at www.letterpressthings.com/open_dates.htm. I just got a postcard from him announcing that he is having a Wood Type Sale October 20 and 21. He will have over 40 complete fonts and 100’s of “orphan” fonts which will be sold by weight. He also sells the machines so you should definately check it out.
