Shop update!

So I had a gocco printing Wednesday, then I had a bookbinding Thursday, photography & Harry Potter Friday and a shop update Saturday. I listed a whole bunch of new things on Etsy last night. It's so much more satisfying to list a dozen things at once than to list something every once in a while. I think I like things big.

The last Harry Potter was definitely a big book. It was released in Finnish on Friday and for some reason I went and bought it. Usually I've read my mom's books while visiting her, but now I know I won't be going there any time soon, so I needed to get my own book. I haven't read any Harry Potters in English as our Finnish translator is so great that I rather enjoy her language than read in English and miss out on meanings. I read the book in less than two days, over 800 pages. It was great fun, but I'm happy that it's over now :)

Wednesday's results: small matchbook style notebooks and a whole bunch of gocco printed card sets! I'm more than happy how all things turned out.


Small matchbook style notebooks with a fresh and elegant dark brown gocco printed image. 24 sturdy off-white pages, that are perforated so that used pages can easily be torn away but won't come out on their own. Sewn with waxed natural linen thread. 3.1"x4.3"x0.2" (7,8x10,8x0.6cm)



These are my favorite cards: tiny, lovely and birdy. Birds on tree branches are printed in dark brown on brown kraft cardboard. These kraft cards will be sold in sets of four, together with high quality envelopes. 2.6"x4.1" (6,7x10,5cm), blank inside.

And the giveaway mini card sets are also available in the shop at last! It took me quite a while to get these packed and photographed!

Hi Kaija,
Thanks so much for the gocco tips - I tried using my inkjet printer like you suggested and have now got it working perfectly! I will try & get some photos of my prints up on my blog within the next few days.
And I love your new gocco prints - they are all so gorgeous! The birdy cards are absolutely stunning - I love the combination of the print & brown kraft card!
Danielle :-)
