It’s hard for me to put into words just how excited I am about this giveaway. A few years ago, my friend Ginette hooked me up with a Ben Harper meet and greet after his show, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. While shaking Mr. Harper’s hand I tried desperately not to A) swoon, B) drool down my shirt or C) kiss him on the mouth, and those are the same physiological responses I fought when Sesame Letterpress emailed me back to say Sure! They’d love to send me some coasters to give away on my blog!
These coasters are so beautiful that I have never actually owned them myself; I only buy them for other people as gifts. I kinda don’t trust myself with them because I know that if we ever had company over and they were reaching to put down their iced tea, I’d be liable to snatch up the coaster and glare at my guests explaining that these coasters were only to be admired, ne’er to be used.
But gorgeous coasters are not the only thing produced by Sesame Letterpress. They also print beautiful wedding invitations, baby announcements (Penny NEEEEEEEEEEDS these!), stationary, and biz cards that are absolutely to die for. Ok, and how about this Fox memo pad!?!?! Unreal.
You can check out their store with calendars, gift tags and coasters (which I’ve actually seen for sale in Anthro) – perfect for the person you love most in life (insert major hint to Matt). Also, check out this interview with Sesame Letterpress in NY Magazine, and a nifty podcast explaining more about their process and the appeal of letterpress.
Now let’s get to the giveaway, shall we!?
Our lucky winner will walk away with one set of eight bird coasters and my eternal jealousy.
(The coasters are of the bird shown in upper left corner)
