Cotton ribbon on a bird

I love this photo that Shelley from Hot from the Press posted of the cotton ribbon
I have sent to her. Thank you Shelley and see you soon at Paper and Chocolate
this Sunday!

Sample paper and stamps

After weeks of preparing products for the holidays sales, cutting silk screen Japanese paper and using vintage stamps, I designed this little sample paper and stamps package, ready for sale. There is an assortment of paper and stamps from around the world, mixed in a glassine envelope. Thanks to Bari Zaki for sharing a lot of these beautiful ephemera with me!
