"I have an idea"
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

I have always been known to have "an idea". This a great quality in a lot of respects, but every time my husband hears that phrase pass my lips a little piece of him dies. To Rich these four little words are trouble as he is often the brawn to my brains...

So of course it was no surprise, knowing me, that in January I wanted to move my shop. It was a fantastic new location with space for my presses, an office, retail, and after school art classes for kids. Of course it wasn't quite turn key...but I had an idea....

For those of you unfamiliar with letterpress equipment, that means moving thousands of pounds of very very heavy metal. Not to mention, paper, envelopes and a bazillion other small things. But let's be honest, a good idea is a good idea.

Fortunately Rich believes in me, wacky ideas and all. So on January 15th 2011 we signed the lease and got our keys. Shortly after the insanity began.

So awesome! I can't wait to see the pics of the finished store. Congrats, Amber. That's so cool. Plus, now I can stalk you from afar. Sweet.

Thanks John, but can it really be considered stalking if the person likes it?
