Our Letter Press Saint




Another blessing to be counted... our friend Cristiana! Not only is she an amazing poet and book maker... she is designing and letter pressing our invitations! Saint I tell ya!

Check out some of her poetry at http://bluehourpress.blogspot.com/

I really love letter press. Its one of those crafts that I hope to learn one day. Its one of those things that never goes out of fashion. It can be old and modern but to feel the letterpress it makes me think of all the artisans in the past. Maybe if Cristiana buys a letter press when she is in LA, she can teach me.

I didn't think that we could afford letter pressing because it tends to be very expensive but we're able to have beautiful invites because of the love, sweat and creativity of Cristiana. I am so thankful.

I will post the final invites after they're sent out... so I won't spoil them for our guests who also read this blog.
