Wow, look at these incredible paintings by grey von cannon! She captures the joy of a really good breakfast, or a quiet day in, with her prints. She also has several seafood-lover prints, and we canโ€™t get over the colors!

We just got in these beautiful letterpress notebooks, cards, and washi tape from Blackbird Letterpress.

Ida B Wells was a Chicago journalist and civil rights leader who literally was one of the founders of the NAACP. Her writing exposed the horrors of lynchings and advocated to end them. She did a lot of work for womenโ€™s rights, too. Sheโ€™s amazing.

Kathryn of Blackbird Letterpress not only has art about women in history, but also nature, including a lot of bird art. There are classic letterpress cards, and some that are punch-out models. The warbler had us reciting Brooklyn 99 all afternoon.

And she also sent beautiful nature-themed washi tape.

Thank you to FeltiFriends Studio for leading a splendid pigeon-making felting class this weekend. Sam showed everybody how to make a basic bird form, how to make each wing, and then how to add little pops of color and details to make each pigeon unique! It involves a lot of patience, but itโ€™s totally worth it. Look how cute these birds came out! Thanks, Sam!

New risograph prints in from alec espรญnola! The first one is called En Route and City Bound, and the bright colors remind us of Dr Seussโ€™ Mulberry Street and Richard Scarryโ€™s Busytown. He said it was inspired by his trips to school, and the people he met on the way. Alec brought some more art in, too, so if you like what you see, stop on by!

We just got in these terrific journals from Hear Your Story Books. Theyโ€™re getting-to-know-you books that ask all sorts of questions that you may not have thought of, and it helps parents and grandparents recollect awesome old memories they havenโ€™t thought about in awhile. There are both English and Spanish editions. Itโ€™s a great way to get different generations talking. One time, I asked my folks asking what they liked for entertainment when they were my age. It was super similar (live concerts and comedy shows). Weโ€™re not so different. These books feel like that.
