One more coin purse to add to the shop! The same design from the cards I posted a few weeks ago, fit perfectly on to a little coin purse.

After ten plus hours of sewing, I have a big stack of new coin purses and a new card design in the shop.
The Temporium is closing this Sunday, and I'll be taking over a big stack of new cards and coin purses tomorrow to stock up for the weekend. It has been a huge success so far, so if you are in the area, stop by and check it out before it closes!

While walking down the street to a dim sum lunch, we passed by this printing shop. It was just a hole in the side of the building where this man operates his business. I watched him printing receipts for a parking lot, and couldn't believe that letterpress printing is still used for such everyday objects. It's not the letterpress we think of here, making expensive wedding invitations or stationery, and I couldn't imagine how he competes with digital printing to print the receipts.
He didn't speak English so I couldn't ask any questions about his business, but I told him I was a printmaker too and we exchanged business cards.
I loved his studio, all his materials were packed into the tiny space that was just a few feet wide next to the sidewalk, and the way anyone walking by can stop and watch him work. I hope the demand for hand printed receipts doesn't go away!
