Valentine's Cards and a love of the Handmade

Thanks so much to everyone for coming out to our First Friday calligraphy/letterpress event.  It was a super blast.  Loved pointing out to people that the above text was actually hand lettered not picked from a list of fonts on your p.c.  The Valley Calligraphy Guild folks charmed us all by telling people that doctors whose patients get prescriptions that are calligraphed do a better job of taking their medicine.  And a calligrapher from China who is now living in Eugene was thrilled to meet fellow calligraphers. These are the things that happen that make me love running a retail store.  

First Friday Event at Passionflower

 It's my store and if I want to spend ridiculous amounts of time working on an event because I'm pretty excited about it, well that's my perogative right?  Which is all a long winded way of saying that I hope you will find it in your heart to come visit us before Valentine's Day and find yourself a lovely handmade artist's card.  We have, once again, invited the talented folks from the Eugene Calligraphy Guild to come down and hand address your cards with your choice of red or pink ink. Plus Kristen Walker from Twin Ravens Press will be here letterpressing Valentine's tags like the one shown above(except with red ink).  Edie Robers from the Guild calligraphed the text and Kristen set it and printed them.  I just think it's a lovely collaboration.  They'll both be here on First Friday in February from 5 to 7:30! Please join us.
