happy friday:

i am now a proud owner of a table top press! i've actually had it for a little while now and just haven't had time to do anything yet: so yesterday i spent the day printing a small project on the pilot press, using some plain red ink, wood type, and library cards. it is the most wonderful thing ever! i'll definitely share more pictures later!

tomorrow is nick's birthday! so we'll be spending the weekend celebrating his lovely young age of 24 :)

do you have anything exciting going on this weekend? well here are just a couple weekend links for your enjoyment:

christina at down and out chic gives some perspective about whats going on with the oil spill, and lindsey from greatfull day posted some thoughts at her blog as well - she is offering a print from her shop and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Audubon Society. please check out both of these blogs if you're not aware of whats happening.

if you have some extra time this weekend, maybe you can get crafty using one of the many amazing paper n stitch tutorials: this gallery is so wonderful, full of awesome diy projects!
