Burn your Bridges

Happy Fourth of July! I re-printed "I've Moved On" burning bridge cards today, so I will have plenty on hand when I get back from traveling. The Half Empty Press etsy shop will be closed from July 16th through August 16th while my girlfriend and I visit the Netherlands and Germany...so no orders will be filled during that time.

The bridge featured on the "I've Moved On" cards is the Hawthorne Bridge in Portland, Oregon, and that's where I'm going to be tonight--watching fireworks from my bike. The bombs-bursting-in-air aspect of the Fourth of July is not my cup of tea from a political perspective, but I sure do love fireworks.

Favorite Shops and More Orders Sent Out!

I want to recognize a few shops I've discovered lately and REALLY like. These are other card shops and they've got great stuff! Check them out:

afavorite.etsy.com has letterpress and gocco cards, and her cards are well designed, well printed, clever, and leaning towards wry humor...

jeanfrancisbean.etsy.com is where I got my awesome 80's Valentines this year. Combining favorite song lyrics, a style that takes you back to the painful days of elementary school Valentine's day, and direct red-white-and-black graphics, these Valentines are some of the best I've ever seen.

paperstories.etsy.com It doesn't get much better than this--classically beautiful letterpressed cards with the cruel words you wish you'd said. So perfect!

And of course there's MY shop, halfempty.etsy.com...I have to say, I really like my own designs!

Orders sent out today:

Danielle's burning bridge postcards, and a big wholesale order for mixtgoods.com, which is one of the places you can buy my cards!
