We're delighted to announce a new weekly feature: Lucky Fridays! Each Friday, we'll feature one of our letterpress cards. Then we'll choose THREE LUCKY WINNERS to get a free card. Post a comment by 12 p.m. PST the following Thursday, and we'll announce the winners on the following Friday!
Design: Oompah Band
Artist: Esther Aarts
Inspiration: Tahoe Swiss Chalet restaurant; Swiss Oompah bands, Lowly Worm, Esther's fabulous retro illustrations
Send it to: Your best drinking buddy, nephew who is learning to play the recorder (gateway to any number of crazy, erm, AWESOME, instruments), anyone who plays the flugelhorn or tuba.
Our favorite detail: The musicians' curly chins
Ideas we scrapped for this one: Dutch milkmaid milking a flower-garland & bell-bedecked cow: "Happy Birthday! Milk it for all it's worth!" Erm, might conjure up image of cow's udder...
Why letterpress? Makes it feel like an heirloom you found in your Swiss uncle's attic, next to his size 56XXL lederhosen.
