Wonderful cards from Darling Clementine are absolutely charming! Not being able to wait anymore, we have decided to showcase a preview of the Marionette collection of 6 gorgeous prints! Inspired by 1950’s finger puppets, these pretty square cards are blank inside for doodles and words. Each comes with its own brown kraft (recycled) envelope.
and for those with a sense of humor… we have got just the thing for you.
from new york! new york! Saying it as it is, these Uncooked cards are effortlessly hilarious and endearing all at the same time. Things that you might actually have thought but didnt have the balls to say it, or thought it was inappropriate to say it coz it might make u look mean/bad/rude… its all here in store. and we LOVE it.
“Our cards are a lot different to other card lines. It’ll take time before they get fully appreciated. Smart people get them first. Idiots catch on later, after someone tells them they’re funny”. ~the uncooked duo
on another note:

The store has been overflowing with wonderful goodness from all over the world… and since we’re at it… might as well just let you guys know that we are slowly releasing DECOLE spring/summer 2009 items into the store… Absolutely with no clue how are we gonna fit everything in!
Pictures will follow… soon… (i need a clone… or maybe 3).
Known for keeping their production to limited runs, DECOLE churns out with new designs/new products every season. Once sold out = sold out… simple as it is… So… in the meantime… theses (not exactly decole… but from Japan too) are currently all in stock, in store, available right now!
One of those things that is bound to distract you from work on your desk… HAHA* they so pretty and cute, its impossible to keep your fingers to yourself and not give them a twiddle! Comes in their respective little linen bag for perfect storage!
Letterpressed cards have always been one of the main characters of our store and we so love the fine 3 dimension element it possesses… we’ve brought in another new range of cards this time, adding on to our current existing letterpressed card collection.
Grown from California, using 4 presses, 2 Piglets letterpress churns out textured wonders… See it… Run your fingers over it…FEEL…. Manually fed and pressed like the good old ancient days of the 50’s… (i wish i can time-travel back into the 50s…)
All cards are pressed using soy ink (may contain some nut oils) onto beautiful bristol paper which contains 30% post consumer recycled fiber (you just can’t tell). With NO hormones or antibotics! Inkjet and laser compatible! Presses are cleaned using ordinary & simple vegetable oil, instead of harsh & non-edible smog causing solvents. Very healthy!
Seeing for urself is the only way. No images will do justice to this one.
You’ll just have to swing by the store and check it out yourself.
For those who are wondering about this ancient beauty… watch this short documentary. It will definitely give you a better idea…
Like a tragic love story… its beautiful, romantic… and almost too painful to acknowledge that this artform… eventually will die… nothing is forever right?
