Lucky Friday # 53, Thinking of You

Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 53rd edition of our Lucky Friday Giveaway.  Each Friday we feature one of our letterpress greeting cards. 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!

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Luke Stanton, Irma M and Robin! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Just Married card.

Design: Thinking of You Artist: Eunice Moyle Inspiration: We just got to thinkin'. We thought it was a nice notion to think about thinkin'. And thinkin' of someone hard enough to be inspired to send a card is a rare, beautiful thing. Who to send it to: Someone you forgot to remember to forget, someone who's on your mind all the time, or just an old friend, relative or loved one you want to drop a line. Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one:  "Hare's Looking at You, Kid" with a Humphrey Bogart-ish hare regarding a baby goat— wasn't sure where that one was going. Favorite detail: Love how the flower stems show through the translucent fuchsia vase. Why letterpress? How better to stay in touch than with something so tangible?

Don’t forget to post your comment and tune in next week, same time, different stationery, to see if you’ve won!
