Font Friday: Ampersands

I love ampersands. I love them all (well - almost all) but there are a few that stand out from the rest and so I thought a top 5 list would be appropriate. If you ask me tomorrow, their rank might change, but these five will likely stay at the top for a long time.  5. Estilo Script - modern and unique.

4. Adobe Caslon Pro (Italics) - classic and elegant.

3. Buttermilk - Jessica Hische. Need I say more?

2. Fling - perfectly elegant. I devoted an entire invitation to this lovely.

1. Perla - it's still a new (to me) font, so the newness factor hasn't worn off yet. But maybe it never will.

There you have it. Do you have a top five? or ten?

Font Friday: Jeeves

Photobucket Font friends, meet Jeeves. He (or she - Jeeves is a boy name but it's too pretty to be a boy font, right?) is a lovely new font by You Work For Them.

Jeeves comes in light and bold and is kind of a structured calligraphy font. It's very unique. I love it!

Learning to Letterpress: the Results

Photobucket After spending the morning printing, Kimberly was kind enough to handle the cutting on her end. This worked out well, because I didn't have a bit of room left in my suitcase. I just got them in the mail and I couldn't wait to snap some photos of my lovely stationery and business cards.

If it's not completely obvious, I got a new camera! It's pretty awesome and after I learn how to shoot on something other than the auto setting, I think things could start to look pretty good around here. But let's be honest, even this is a serious improvement!
