Soolip

Today is a sad day. Soolip will be leaving Gump's. Since 2005 Soolip has been sold at Gump's, and has long been one of my favorite departments at our store. Soolip specializes in fine letterpress stationery, invitations, announcements and other amazing paper goods. Of course they can still be found online and in other Soolip locations around the country, however, my easy access (not to mention employee discount) won't be applicable anymore. Darn. That being said, I did get to partake in the 50% off sale and stocked up on lots of amazing paper this morning! Sweet! I'm thinking of getting a wax seal monogram set... which would mean i'd have to stop blogging and start sending out letters the old fashioned way. hmmm... i might reconsider that.

Make Your Own Path

I've been thinking about picking up one of these letterpressed maps from Keep Calm Ltd for some time now, and I honestly don't think I'm able to resist much longer. The artist, Douglas Wilson, has printed a second edition due to popular demand— each poster is unique, from his own personal collection of vintage maps. 22 British pounds, plus postage (time to google a currency converter).
