gorgeousness

Something pretty to look at for the weekend... such beautiful flowers and styling, inspired by peaches-and-cream. Simple yet lavish, summery and oh so elegant. The soft pastel colours are just lovely...

dear amy poehler...

You are so funny. I must admit, at first I was not sure. A comedy series about a government parks department? It didn't exactly sound too... well, comedic. But one whole hilarious series later, it is safe to say that I am now quite obsessed with your Parks and Recreation. To the point that I want to watch it every evening. And I see you have nice taste in hats and tops too.

To us, nothing is more inspiring than another creative business... clever, talented individuals making beautiful things and working for themselves at something they love. Years before we ever started our own creative business, these are the types of people we found so inspiring (and still do!)

So this photo essay project by Brooklyn photographer Jennifer Causey is right up our alley. The photography is beautiful and it's fascinating to have a glimpse inside such inspiring workspaces.

Simply gorgeous. Visit The Makers Project to see more.

welcome

Welcome to our shiny new blog. Here we'll post the latest happenings in the Simplethings Press studio, lovely things we find, things that inspire us, and whatever else takes our fancy. So fix yourself a nice cup of tea, and stay awhile... we hope you'll find something here you like.

A little note: we began in 2006 as Ruby & Scarlett, with a sole focus on wedding stationery. Since then we have acquired our beautiful vintage presses and fallen head over heels for the simplicity and nostalgia of letterpress printing. Now, as Simplethings Press, we offer our services as letterpress printers, stationers and designers - and of course, we continue to produce our beautiful wedding stationery.
