I’m awfully fond of this design. It represents the first time we have letterpressed an open typeface (Caslon). (there’s space inside some of the lines comprising the letters) The surrounding circle is ideal for letterpress, with lots of texture in a small space. The “barely there” appearance of the the surround just sings. (#8106)

From the National Stationery Show in NYC, we have won the 2011 LOUIE award in the “Rising Star” category.
This pleases us. Our thanks to the kind judging panel and their (obvious) impeccable good taste.

In a stroke of marketing genius, we forgot to post our updated catalogue prior to arriving here in the great City of New York.
Quickest way to view our wholesale catalogue is on the NSS site here.
Or, if you wish to download a pdf, here ‘tis
Our line sheets are a condensed version of catalogue and are here. pdf.
We’re pleased to announce that our favorite Mother’s Day card has been nominated as a finalist in the National Stationery Show’s ”Louie” competition. This is akin to a Grammy for music or an Oscar for a film. No, there will likely be no “stars” present at the awards ceremony, but being nominated is quite an honor. Here’s the proud nominated card.
2, 3 and 4 color sugar rushes. Illustrations by Elizabeth Weaver, design by Leslie Kedash, Kedash Design. A2 cards, blank interiors, printed on Crane Cotton Lettra paper with accompanying envelopes.

There’s no real point to this post but we were messing with color for a client and this was the result. Plus I like the moody lighting. The colors are a warm dark gray and Pantone 120U for the yellow.
We are pleased to announce that The Village Invites has become the first retailer for our line of baby announcements. They have just opened a new store at 20 East 13th Street in New York which will have more emphasis on babies than the flagship store at 25 West 43rd Street. Stop in to see the line and meet Nathalie, who sure sounds nice over the phone!
Thanks for your support, Linda and Nathalie.
