thank you!


Thank you to everyone who came by to say hi at Renegade this weekend! We really appreciate all of your support, especially considering how hot and humid it was. We had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting lots of new ones! 

L-R: Our new booth display, Renegade set up in Grand Park under the watchful eye of City Hall, some of the lovely customers we had this weekend.
We were so happy to be able to share the relaunch of our older designs with so many familiar faces. We are really pleased with the way that everything is coming along on the new press, not only is the production easier, but the prints are clearer and more even.

L-R: Our newest batch of prints and a new letterpress heart card, our Golden State cards printed on the new press, proofing and packing our Greetings from Los Angeles cards.
We were also really excited to debut our new show display. Our concrete and plywood half-wall got so many compliments and requests for instructions, you can take a look at this project on our Pinterest board to see how it's done.

L-R: Robin manning the booth on Sunday, our new concrete and plywood display, some customers perusing our paper goods.
All in all, it was  a great weekend! The new venue was gorgeous and it was really fun to spend the weekend under the gaze of city hall and the LA Times building. Grand Park is such a wonderful addition to this city, and we really hope to attend more events there in the future!

L-R: Rosemary with Christine from Abacus Row, strategizing for Unique over coffee the morning after Renegade.
In the meantime, we are back in the studio working on a number of different projects in preparation for Unique LA on August 9-10. We're adapting our neighborhood postcards to the new press and working on a few new projects as well. Keep an eye on our Instagram account for a few sneak peeks over the next few weeks!

We hope you're having a great summer so far, it's hard to believe that it's nearly over!

Best,
Rosemary+Robin

where to find us this summer

currently in production

We've had a very busy summer full of craft shows, pop-up shops and a lot of running around. It's been exciting, exhausting and edifying! Now that we've made it through, we're really enjoying taking the time to get back into the studio and work on some new projects. 


We've just listed some new cards that we launched at the Summer edition of the  Eastside Handmade pop-up shop in Highland Park last weekend. We added some new neighborhoods to our sets of City Greetings cards. We now offer Echo Park, Highland Park, Culver City, Santa Monica and Silver Lake as well as Los Angeles. We'll be adding some more neighborhoods and cities soon, so stay tuned!


We've also been busy reprinting our set of Los Angeles Westside postcards that we're nearly out of stock (literally, we had one last set left that we found mixed in with another neighborhood!). We've had a great response from our neighborhood postcards, everyone seems to get a real kick out of sharing hyper-local snapshots of their corner of the world.


It's been fun to revisit some of our older designs while we get to work on our winter holiday collection. The Venice card in particular has been a beast for us to print in the past, so much so that we were actually considering changing the design after our current stock sold out. However, when we got it on the press the other day, by some miracle, it printed like a dream! We aren't questioning what happened, we think it's mostly because we changed inks, but who knows as long as it works!


We've also added some prints to the shop, we're offering three limited editions of 100 signed prints of the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, the Sun-Lake Drugs building in Silver Lake and the Norm's from Santa Monica that closed recently. We're offering them as framed and unframed prints. Once we've sold out our full run of 100, we'll add a new design. 


We're also working on some other projects that aren't quite ready for prime time yet, we're getting really excited and can't wait to tell everyone about it. Fingers crossed we'll be able to tell you soon! We hope you're having a great summer, here in L.A. it's been cooler than last summer, we'll see what the fall brings!
