We just stuffed all the envelopes and put the stamps on and it was like a bubbling cauldron of activity in the shop today. The invitations are going to land in a bunch of people’s mailboxes in the next day or two. Are you all excited???
They are so HAPPPPPPYYY! They are so GAaaaY!!! They are ICONOCLASTIC and not PLASTIC. They are SUPER FUNNNN, just like my Wayzgoose is going to be. O gee…I am really getting excited about this. It’s going to be a mob scene at the print shop. It’s going to be a big ho ho ho 25-year celebration party of being in business and doing letterpress printing and beautiful designs and ad campaigns and ephemera and the craziest things, and having the most interesting clients and the greatest time in the world for all these years. Well, we hope you will come on Friday, November sixth, and have champagne and beans and see our work, and celebrate with us. If you can’t come in person, you can see some of our work here on the blog and on our web site (that is ALMOST finished being redesigned so please excuse our construction zone over there).
Let us know if there is anything your heart has been hankering for, like a fancy new business card or Christmas cards specially designed just for you. Or perhaps someone in your family is getting married next year and needs a gorgeous wedding invitation. We can do all that and lots more.
If you want one of our letterpress printed invitations to the Wayzgoose and don’t get one in the next week, please write us a comment here, or send an email, that includes your name and address, and we will be sure to send yours out right away.
Oh…still don’t know what a Wayzgoose is? See my blog post from October 3 that gives a little historical perspective.
I hope you can come to our party!!!

This just came on email from Mary Cordaro, designer, and the most erudite expert on all things GREEN, from house paint to mattresses to baby furniture. We have been her long-time designers and printers and she is our long-time fan (as we are hers).
I asked her if I could put it on my blog comments cause I love it so much:
Hi Zida,
I so so wish we could be there! What a WONDERFUL invitation. I loved getting it and reading it. Thanks for inviting us to what will be a GREAT party. Wishing you a big congrats for 25 years in one of the best businesses I can imagine: letterpress. Because of you, I have an appreciation for this long time, beautiful art, combined with your amazing design skill. Sending you lots of love and a BIG hug!
Love, Mary
