It’s been a few years
since we offered holiday cards created by our friends at Saturn Press, but
we’re happy to have them back. They
use a vintage letterpress machine to create individual pieces of art. The designs are adapted from period
originals, but have a timeless quality about them. The little girl from 1920, with a big red
bow in her hair, sits on a big C for Christmas. The image is simple, yet evocative. (“May this Christmas be a happy one”). The leaping deer
with poinsettia leaves and a candle, sends you
“Greetings and Best Wishes for the coming year…” The 5” X 7” cards come 10 to a box.
