Lettuce give thanks...

I haven't blogged in a bit, but its because I have been a busy lady.  I have been doing contract design work since the move but a few weeks back, I got a real, 9-5, "day job."  I really like what I am doing there and I am trying to find a balance between the day job and Lettuce Press.  Another thing that has been keeping me away from the keyboard is my list of letterpress projects.  I will save a few for later posts, but I have been busy printing wares for the Give Handmade Holiday Sale this coming Sunday at the Left Bank Annex in Portland.  Doors open at 11 am and there are goodie bags filled with locally made swag for the first 100 shoppers.  Can you spot the Lettuce Press love in the swag sneak peek picture below?

I am really excited to be a part of the Give sale for several reasons.  Its all about locally handmade goods, which hold a dear place in my heart.  Even more reason to love it, the whole event is a fundraiser/food drive for the Oregon Food Bank.  10% of all Lettuce Press sales will go to OFB.  The organizers will also be accepting cash donations as well as collecting dry/non-perishable goods for OFB.  In this season of so much consumption, from too much turkey to gifts for every aunt you barely remember, its so great that you can celebrate the season  by supporting local artists and helping to be sure everyone has something to eat.

Here is a peek at some of the new paper goods I'll be selling on Sunday(also available in my etsy shop):

 

 

Hope to see you Sunday at the Give Handmade Sale, until then, happy thanksgiving!
