Moving Card

We've been busy with more custom work...

The guillotine cutter is an invaluable time saver!

Inking of the Gocco screen.

Printing...

And ta-dah! Fabulous, custom designed moving cards.

Room & Board is in Atlanta!

One of my greatest regrets when I left Chicago was leaving behind fabulous stores like Room & Board. I would spend hours walking through the showroom, imaging all the possibilities for my home.

Well after eleven long years I will finally have that opportunity again. Room and Board is opening in Atlanta on May 1st! If you love sophisticated, casual living with a flair for the modern style, then this is the place for you. Here is a sample of some of their wonderful furniture.

Oh Baby!

This weekend was dedicated to finishing up custom baby shower invites. These are hand stamped on the same paper as our invites on the website. They turned out so cute! Check out the pics:

I love type!

If you would have told me ten years ago that I would drool over ascenders, descenders, serifs, sans-serifs, x-heights, swashes, and teardrop terminals...I would have tried not to roll my eyes and come up with an excuse to stop talking with you. Seriously? I would care about fonts? Oh but I do! And not just fonts...but typography.

Here is a gorgeous collection of script fonts by Alejandro Paul, available on Veers website. His artistic talent and attention to detail is inspiring. It makes me want to design something fabulous around his work. Now that can't be too hard, can it?

Weddings!

It's been a very long time. And yes, we were slacking on the blog. BUT... we officially announce our Wedding Collection! Amazing but true. Here's a sneak peek:

So Hot at ICE

Saturday proved to be about the hottest it could possibly be in June. The peak temp ended up in the mid-90's, and it was at least 85 when we started setting up at 8:45 am. ICE? Yes please!
Amazingly, despite the extreme heat, the off-ramp closures on 75/85 and the fact that Highlands Summerfest was the same weekend, we had a decent turnout! Many people braved the heat to shop the amazing vendors that participated. I was even able to take a small break and get a few things... a snappy new dog collar from The Mod Dog (which is a black and white hounds tooth pattern for my hound to wear. Ha!) and some adorable little bunnies from our tent-mate Brooke from TeddyLux.
We at Jinky Wink unveiled some new products: funky postcards, cute toddler tees, tea towels and some fun file folders. Everything will be available for purchase online super soon. Don't miss out! Sign up for our mailing list to be in the know.

The one unfortunate thing about working an event like this is that you don't get a whole lot of time to check out the other vendors, which we love to do. For a complete list of everyone that attended, click here. I know we'll be going back and seeing what we missed!
Cheers!
