She may not be pretty…

Ta da! My very own press. Sort of. After months of sitting in pieces at the foot of my bed, I finally put my tabletop press together (design courtesy of ReadyMade, construction/elbow grease courtesy of Mom.) In case you don't already know, I'm slightly obsessed with letterpress printing (think of my Christmas cards.) Quality/affordable presses are hard to come by, so last winter Mom helped me (re: I watched her) make a tabletop press to call my own. I'm waiting on an ink shipment right now, but I'm excited to run some prints soon.

Vandercook Press; C&P Pilot Presses

I'm not sure how she'll compare to the real deal, but until I have enough space/money for one of these, she'll have to do!

Ta da!

Welcome to my new little blog! After realizing I spend way too much time reading other designers' blogs, I decided it was time to take the leap myself. Here I'll share all things I find entertaining and inspiring...and (of course) the progress of third floor press, the very-small and very-new stationery and invitation studio of Abby Brewster.

To get things rolling, here are a few tfp personal favorites...enjoy!
