new card line: kinaloon

Kinaloon is a new card line that we just started carrying a few weeks ago. And I am in love! Barbara who designs and prints all of her cards herself, came to me with a few samples and I instantly knew I had to carry her line. Another great attribute is these cards are designed and printed right in Chicago. Love it!


Barbara is a painter who fell in love with screen printing. The first designs were inspired by Barbara teasing her niece about going to camp and how she was going to write her lots of letters. She decided she would make letters to send to her niece, rather than buying cards. How sweet! Believe me, Kinaloon cards are just as sweet and beautiful as this story!


You can find a wide variety of Kinaloon cards in the store or on our webstore.

snow & graham calenders

Our 2011 Show & Graham calendars have arrived! In addition to their wall, desk, and mini desk calendar, we're happy to announce that they have two new formats!

The accordion and the write-on! The accordion folds down to just 3.5 x 2.5 inches, but when open is 30 inches long! The calendar allows you to see all of 2011 in one view and the 12 unique designs too. The new write-on calendar is not only beautiful, but very functional too. The calendar has a handy grid style monthly calendar and measures 12 x 18 inches.



And of course, we also have the beloved Snow & Graham wall calendar...

the FOUND

One of my all time favorite card companies just debuted a new line and I'm so excited to share it with you! the FOUND recently debuted their new Matchbox line. This is their fourth line in addition to their Busted, Americana, and Newsprint lines. the FOUND is based out of Chicago and is inspired by a collection of found ephemera... they re-discover items and re-invent and re-purpose them. And they do a great job at it!


My personal matchbox favorite is their Yee Haw Horse. The inside greeting reads, "Hey lucky, It's your birthday." Pretty great, I'd say!


Their re-discovered, re-invented, and re-purposed inspired products can be found here (no pun intended!).
