Good wood

Doreen sent me this link when we were meeting in N.J. the week before last. Night Owl (and I used to be one before my days of 4 a.m. training sessions and 6 a.m. workouts) has a unique line of cards made of actual wood. The letterpress card company is also a two-person shop and a dream turned real. I love those stories.

Exciting!!!

Our first batch of cards has arrived from the printer!! Wee! Things are starting to come together :) Be on the lookout for out Etsy shop to be opening up soon so you too can own your very own Pep Greetings cards!

New Find!

I love all things retro! Especially retro illustration from the 50's and 60's. Very inspiring to me. So here is an old 1957 New York state map that I found at an antique shop this past July, enjoy!

Do we look lazy?

On the contrary! Our first card is printed and we are started to show our baby around to family and friends. Doreen and I are getting together on Thursday to do packaging, drink wine and brainstorm until we either pass out or end up watching a Dawson's Creek marathon. Either way -- good times.

After NJ, I head up the East Coast to meet with friends, drink, fish, sleep on the dock, eat lobster and drink some more. And my new magazine piece comes out that week too -- hopefully it will cause a stir.
