Wow – with the big day of love 1 week away I thought I would have a flash sale for an original print with some of my favorite song lyrics from The Postal Service.

Written on nice black paper with pink shimmer ink – this is modern and romantic… and a daily reminder to have a movie type ending to each day.  Each piece measures 5×7 and is an original work of art.

Purchase now for USD $20 + shipping, all orders will ship priority mail on Saturday, February 10 for delivery by Tuesday, February 12, 2013*!

*Delivery based on shipping times for the continental united states.

I was looking through my photograph files (and trying to organize) and found this photo of personalized note cards.  I just love the simple lettering, each by hand and original with a color coordinating duplexed paper for the back.  So they were extra heavy and you could feel the texture of the ink of the paper.

A set of these would be such a lovely hostess gift or for a child learning to write (and value) thank you notes.  A set of 25 in a style and color of your choice on white or ivory paper with corresponding envelopes for $100. (email me to order!)

Hope everyone is having a great holiday week.

We were trilled to work with D Home Magazine on their special Holiday Issue! You can see my Mitty lettering on pages 23 and 54 through 60 of their 2011 Gift Guide.

We worked with Missing Q Press on these awesome place cards. Don’t you love the pop of red with the vintage sled?
