Live from Reading Terminal Market, Philadelphia!

A great day at the historic Reading Terminal Market! Maybe you were there on July 14th--great crowd and lots of energy. My daughter Lauren, (below) in from Charleston SC was a super helper and between us we sampled almost all the delectable food in the market. Did someone say Falafel? Termini Brothers Cannoli? Chocolate chip cookie?
 

Great to meet so many new people. We loved the whole gang of young teens from China. They were visting for 14 days and only one spoke English. They were very excited about everything!

A new press at Paprika!

For all those very special jobs out there....
Seriously. Found this very cool toy press at an Antique/cool stuff shop in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Complete with printing plate (in picture) and a bunch of teensy-tiny rubber type. And the booklet that comes with it tells you how to publish your own newspaper. It's a very small newspaper.  The booklet gives tips on what news to report, what type of ads to solicit. Gotta love it!!!!

It's here!

Easier to use. Easier to order.

New website almost ready

It's almost here! The new website is being birthed. What does that mean--much easier to see all the projects and cards. A new website means lots of organization, new photos, writing  and  prioritizing. Not my strongest suit. But the 'people who get this done' are awesome and we are almost there.

New Card Preview

Three smashing colors! Send it to everyone! A-6 size with matching heavyweight envelope. Deep letterpress impression in heavy cotton stock.

Holiday Magic in the works-Website being updated

We are updating the website and it will soon be much easier to order online and most importantly, easier to update with new merchandise. It will magically become an e-commerce site, and we'll be able offer more payment options through the stardust of ecommerce and Paypal. Stay tuned and thanks for checking in.
Hope everyone has a fabulous holiday season. Paprika letterpress will be visiting Jolly Olde England before the holidays so we will return with much inspiration and good cheer.
