Before I got engaged, I didn’t even know what letterpress was. Now, a mere seven months later, I’m a changed woman. I’ve suddenly become a letterpress fanatic who will buy *anything* letterpressed, from thank you cards to calendars to coasters (I don’t bother actually using the coasters on my Ikea coffee table. I just scatter them about and admire their loveliness). There is something about the tactile quality and visual goodness of letterpress than I cannot get enough of!
I’ve been feeding my addiction by perusing Etsy for beautiful letterpress goods. Here are some of my current favorites:
They have some truly creative holiday cards, from the graphic to the generic:


My favorite guilty letterpress indulgence: coasters! These monogrammed coasters would make a lovely hostess gift and the love coasters would be a romantic touch for a cocktail reception.


A gorgeous letterpress print– if someone else doesn’t buy this, I might!

Of course, Etsy also features a vast selection of letterpressed notecards. I love this gift pack– these floral designs are so delightful and it’s always smart to have pretty cards on hand.

For your little cabbage– so romantic and cute!

I am in the same boat. I covet all things letterpressed now and have gone so far as to sacrifice parts of our wedding budget to get letterpressed invitations and ceremony programs.
I know its one of those silly things that people throw away, but it makes me happy!
