Our Brand New Etsy Shop!

Happy September! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth at the People’s Arts Festival this weekend. Dennis took a whole bunch of pictures, and a recap is coming soon. In the meantime, we’re happy to announce that all of our products are finally available online in our new Etsy shop!

For the first week our shop is open, we’re offering 20% off of the print of your choice. If you see something you like, don’t wait, because our inventory is pretty low now that summer craft fair season is over. We only have single digits left in Octotree, Moth, Clara, Tea Leaves, and Unrequited Love.

Thanks very much to K. Redmond Photography for taking all of the pictures you see above, as well as many more in our shop.

Ink & Iron

I found these letterpress cards by Ink & Iron on Art Hound. They’re super clever and the muted colors give them a vintage feel.

There’s a note in their Etsy shop explaining that the name Ink & Iron is just being tested out and may only be temporary. I love the name and think she should keep it! What do you guys think?

Letterpress Delicacies

I found the Austin’s Letterpress Delicacies while searching Etsy. I was impressed by the fine detail and high print quality of their letterpress prints and cards available in their Etsy shop.

Zeichen Press

We got a really great submission from a letterpress printer in Minneapolis. Zeichen Press is run by a lady named Fran Shea. She writes a blog about printing called “Is This Funny?” I’m telling you: it is. And in between snarky headlines and pictures of dogs wearing wigs, there’s a bunch of great work.

There’s more where this came from. Check out a huge batch of funny letterpress cards like this one at Zeichen Press’s Bigcartel shop. Wood type alphabet prints like the one above are available through Room and Board.

Craft Revival Recap

Our first show was a huge success and a ton of fun! Not only did we meet a all of the shoppers who stopped by our table, but we got to spend the day with a bunch of super talented people. There were so many amazing things in this show, I have no idea how I made it through the day without spending a ton of money. Here’s a little recap with a few of the vendors whose wares were for sale at Craft Revival. (Please excuse the awful lighting; I realized 8 minutes before the show was over that I hadn’t taken any pictures yet and scrambled around the room clicking frantically.)

Our sweet booth neighbor, Nikki, of R’eal Life Empire. Her cards are hysterical.

My sister bought a super cute dress from Stephanie of Always the Forest.

Scott of Eclectic Press and Courtney of Ampersans. These two are crazy talented graphic designers.

Sarah of Wound Menswear. She’s having an open house next weekend at the Russell Industrial Center: 2-11pm on 4/24 and 1-5 pm on 4/25.

Sara of BroadStreet jewelry. Awesome statement necklaces.

Jill of Barrel of Monkeys. The painting is the perfect backdrop for her colorful buttons.

Amanda and Cree of Jones Press. Seriously, how cute are these two?!

Shawn of Pinky Blaster. We are not worthy.

Me + Dennis!

Between Craft Revival and Future Midwest the day before, it seems like I met about 87,000 people this weekend. I was so terrified that I wouldn’t get everyone’s names right that I almost didn’t write this post. I hope you can forgive me if I messed up! Please comment if I did.

If you stopped by our table, thanks! We put some of the things we had for sale in our online shop, in case you missed out on Saturday. If you’re looking for something that’s not there, email us at heyyouguys [at] perfectlaughter.com. Thanks to Handmade Detroit for letting us be a part of a great show!
