Vendor Spotlight: One Canoe Two

While you may not know this company by name, there is a pretty good chance you have a One Canoe Two card at home in your card stash as we speak. This great company was started by 3 women, Carrie, Beth, and Karen in Columbia, Missouri back in 2009. 

You know that sweet little NH state print that is so popular we have a time time keeping it in stock? You can thankCarrie, Beth, and Karen for that. 

 

Every card, art print, and calendar starts off as a beautiful original work of art by Carrie. Its so exciting to see a quick notebook sketch turn into a finished card. 

                        

Here is a look at some of Once Canoe Two's newest offerings and some of my all time favorites

 

While we haven't heard yet what this onion and radish painting are going to turn into, but I'd be pretty excited to see each as month for the 2016 Oversized wall calendar!

Everything is as good as gold!

While most stores are full of the season's brightest reds and greens this time of year, I can't help but notice a little extra sparkle all around Gus & Ruby. You'll find gold accenting everything from our beloved companies. Take a look at some of our favorite gilded goodies!

Wall Art Update: We Are Brainstorm

Happy Monday guys and gals!

Many of you may already be familiar, but we wanted to take a moment today to show-off the fantastic work of Jason & Briana, the dynamic duo behind Brainstorm Print & Design. This talented pair has traveled all over the country, attending craft shows and spreading the good word about fun design and a passion for all things hand-made. But now, they've settled in just across the way in Dover, New Hampshire and their illustrations and screenprints have made a real splash with all of our customers here at Gus & Ruby Letterpress. 

What I love so much about these prints is their quirky aesthetic and the fact that they make for such great wall art for classrooms, kids rooms and playrooms alike. Not to mention MANY of you have already snatched up their New England Atlas screenprint to add to your living room walls! 

We'll be carrying this fun assortment of pieces from Brainstorm this holiday season and can't wait to see what's next from J&B in the coming year!
