Made it to I Made It and now a Maiden Making More

Ode to the joys of holidays!  They start really early over here so its a good thing it is a gleeful season.  Clothespeg Press will be present at the I Made It Market Holiday Market on December 3rd in Pittsburgh's South Side (Carson Street).  More details to come closer to the date so if you check back in, I will be sure to share a few secrets (read funny words you would only say out loud to get fun free stuff from me) that might help you fill out your holiday lists.  

And while I have my lists of things to bring and share, I am always open to suggestions on designs or themes that you would like to see.  Leave me your suggestions and if they make the cut (or photopolymer) or press, I will get you a ticket to a roller derby match in your area.  Deal?

Happy Monday!

Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh has only been "home" for about a year (we hail from the lovely Portland, Oregon and as I type this my musical memory says thank you to Loretta Lynn) but despite missing the peculiar charms of the NW, this town built of iron and molybdenum has been welcoming with perogies, hills, salads made of french fries and a language all of its own.  Here are some things you may not have known herald from the land of the three rivers:

Ferris Wheel 

Mr Yuk

Big Mac

Zippo Lighter

Daylights Savings Time

Mr Rogers

and a household staple (at least in this region)...Heinz Ketchup

So why not try printing with something a little local?  I printed these post cards using my letterpress and a bottle of Heinz ketchup.   

The only thing missing is a french fry.  If there is anyone feeling regionally jilted or disappointed that Hunt's wasn't used, let me know and I'd be glad to give it a squirt.
