Wordshop Wednesday: Found Paper Co.

iusb_760x100.6315071

I am much indebted to Poppy Talk, who today introduced me to the EXTREMELY drool-worthy Found Paper Co.. Their products represent PRECISELY what causes me to foam at the mouth and, inevitably, pass out from overstimulation. I mean that in only the best of ways. I absolutely LOVE ephemera and the repurposing of vintage papers. Or just gazing fondly at them for hours and never repurposing them at all, because it seems pretty clear that their overall purpose is to exist solely for me.

Unsurprisingly, I basically want to buy out the entire store. So you better get it while you can.

Letterpress Fortune Teller

Awesomely fun throwback to elementary school: a letterpress fortune teller from Sycamore Street Press, as seen on Design*Sponge.

And don’t you worry: Bob Saget loves you.

Wordshop Wednesday: Greenwich Letterpress

Print

The other day, Oh So Beautiful Paper posted an incredibly drool-worthy, vintage-mailer-inspired Save the Date postcard created by Greenwich Press, aptly named considering the shop’s location in Greenwich Village, NYC. I can’t stop thinking about how awesome the cards are. So I thought I’d post them for you… and provide you with the link to Greenwich’s online store so you can go check the rest of their fantasticness out for yourself.

The turquoise tape really makes the Kraft paper pop, don’t you think?
