Classic Gifts IV: Paper HeartsUPDATED
SLIDESHOW New shop: Paper Hammer, the paper goods store on Second Avenue from Marquand Books. (New image added 12/20/10)
Gorgeously austere hand-bound photobooks, because a Flickr link really doesn’t do what sitting on the couch together flipping through pages does. Consider putting together a scrapbook-style inspiration and implementation book for your mom or sister, or grab a couple of the smaller books to fill later for groomsmen and/or family members.
Garland letters for holiday gift tags, OR reception table assignments, name cards, fun signage for before or after the ceremony, favor tie-ons, you name it … Paper Hammer specializes in letterpress; the paper goods are made in a little town Marquand essentially rescued called Tieton. You might call it Eastern Washington’s Brooklyn.
Paper Hammer’’s mini-journals: stocking stuffers for your favorite world traveler, reception favors for a weekend-long destination wedding (or one that features wines worthy of note-taking), or both. You decide.
Inspiration for literary, and, for the time being, wintery decor themes at Paper Hammer.
UPDATE: Ed Marquand emailed me this image so I could share with you a beautiful album they produced for a a friend on the occasion of her 10th anniversary. The hand-bound book was covered with fabric the woman saved from her wedding dress. Contact Paper Hammer if you are interested in similar projects.
