Still a sucker for pop-ups

Came across this pop-up card at the Milwaukee Art Museum yesterday and couldn't resist. Funky illustration is by Christiane Grauert

Big Star love

Was cleaning off my desk and came across this postcard from my last trip to Big Star and now I just want to eat tacos which I'm not doing at the moment and that's sort of like mild torture. If you've had Big Star you feel my pain.

Postcards & whiskey

Sometimes you just need a whiskey cocktail to go with your snail mail writing

I always love a good foil stamp, this gold is delightful

These wooden postcards have become some of my favorites

How to be a good dad

I've still been sending (and receiving) snail mail on a regular (although not daily) basis, it's just the posting I've gotten lazy about. But this father's day card is too funny not to share. If you see it in a store, take a look. Way to go American Greetings, way to go.

I dug out the vintage stamps today

Spent some me time in the windy city with some beautiful weather and lots of walking.
