Handmade Market Chicago and a new letterpress card


I've been busy preparing for the October edition of Handmade Market Chicago at Empty Bottle.  If you are in the city, stop by and check out the artisans.  I'll be there with soy candles, glycerin soaps, a few aprons and letterpress cards.  Preparing inventory is always difficult when juggling a full-time job and crafting. 

Training the new puppy has also taken up much of my free time.  He's progressing, but there are still days when he thinks the remote control battery cover is a nice chew toy.  I've been assured by the trainer that this is just a phase and he should grow out of it in a year or so.  Let's hope she was joking!

I was able to get into the letterpress studio last night and make these thank you cards.  They feature a two color print and will be available in my Etsy shop and at the Handmade market.  I still have to pick up the coordinating envelopes at Paper Source and get better photos.  Hope they make someone smile!
