in the spirit of spring (cleaning), i’ll be joining some good folks for a combination yard sale + pop-up shop this sunday, april 1 in los angeles.  i’ll have P&T goodies of past seasons (& never seasons) out for a bit of a sample sale, plus supplies & perhaps other wares!  to rsvp, send an email to weworkyoushop@gmail.com (we’ll reply with the address a few days prior to the event).

hope to see you!

i’m happy to share that PAPER & TYPE stationery may now be found in a lovely shop called myrtle, located in echo park, los angeles!  the very kind whitney has curated a collection of goods by designers (hetterson, kyyote, fieldguided..) that i’ve only had a chance to eye from afar until now. she’s also designed & outfitted the shop in a most delicate & darling way (i could live in it).  P&T will be among good company over by that vintage typewriter.

do visit:
2213 sunset boulevard, with a grand opening this saturday, december 10, 5–10pm.

the second collaborative calendar of le petit elefant + paper & type is now available for peeking, posting, purchasing, presenting!  

2012 is inspired by the thoughtfulness and charm of sending (and receiving!) correspondence and packages by post (& then some).  as with our previous collaboration, this calendar features artwork to keep &/or share – simply tear at the perforated line (see photo below).  it’s now available at the shop.

on that note, paper & type will be present at a few fairs this holiday.  come visit!  i’d love to meet & talk paper with you (topics of your choice are welcome too, of course)…

patchwork festival  /  november 13  /  culver city
unique LA  /  december 3–4  /  downtown LA
soho house  /  december 10  /  west hollywood

more details & holiday cards, soon!

some renegade thoughts about the weekend, before a more in-depth report:

1. i find it hard to believe it’s been a year since mine & genevieve’s RCF 1.0.
2. it was so good to meet with people — fellow vendors (new & known) & craft-minded/admiring attendees. my favorite surprise of the weekend was amy lippman.
3. i’m so grateful for the immense help from our new intern jaclyn, & from our friends anthony & kevin biggers & shweta. i also very much appreciate the support & the flowers & paints & refreshments & hugs provided by dear ones along the way.
4. garage pizza (plus beers & a bruce chan) — a superb way to wrap things up.
