LETTERPRESS L*O*V*E!

You may remember that my sister in law Olivia owns

a fabulous letterpress studio in Berkeley.

OLIVE ROUTE

DESIGN AND LETTERPRESS

She makes THE most amazingly beautiful cards, stationary, prints, etc.

Last week I gave her a call and was

wondering about getting some business cards made up- in a hurry!

She and I chatted about what I was looking for and

what design would best represent my blog.

I wanted a card that stood out among hundreds.

Something that was unique, pretty & stylish.

Simple & elegant

and

something that said French Cottage

'ME'.

She came up with this design in just a couple of days and emailed it to me.

The proof was amazing and I loved it right away

but the finished business cards arrived today

and

oh-my-gosh

are they gorgeous!!

It's hard to tell from my photos- but these are similar to embossed cards

the design is pressed- right down to the pale pink stripes.

Via does all of her printing by hand on old, antique letterpress machines.

She designs her pieces and presses them start to finish herself with the help

of just a couple of friends in the shop.

She is an incredible artist and her work really makes an impression.

LOVING THEM V!!!

Thank you SO much!!

If you are looking for fantastic stationary

postcards, business cards, wedding invitations, etc.

go over and visit Via at Olive Route.

You will love whatever she designs and presses for you.

She has been in MARTHA STEWART

more than once and just pressed for a celebrity client

(who shall remain unnamed for now! )

She has an etsy store with ready to go treasures

but would be happy to do a custom design

for you for whatever you need.

Stop over and say 'Hi'

&

tell her I sent you!
