You may remember a few months ago, I mentioned I joined Seattle Bloggers Unite and attended my first meet up. This month’s meet up was held at Farewell Paperie, the cutest little letterpress paper, stationary, and wrapping paper shop in SODO.
I thought I’d share a few photos of the night, and my special creation, which you may have seen on my Instagram during the event. I was pretty proud of my hand pressed notecards. They’re pretty cute and I can’t wait to use them!
They seriously have some of the cutest and most creative cards ever. Definitely look them up if you love witty cards, like their gangsta line. Seriously.
Above, our templates for our notecards were waiting for us. The letterpress below is Bill, who we used to make our cute little notecards. Helga is the real powerhouse though, and they used her to make us a custom keepsake print.
After learning how to crank the machine (and not lose my fingers in the process…) my completed notecards. I’m so proud. ;)
Loved the swag bag, full of fun, local merch. I especially loved the delicious Fran’s Chocolates (which are beyond gone), the bracelet from The Ravenna Girls, and I can never get enough Dry Soda, this Vanilla Bean flavor is my favorite, it’s like a lightened up Cream Soda.
Linking up with The Grits and Treasure Tromp
Have you ever attended a local blogger meet up? What did you think?
This is so cool!! I have been dying to go to one!!!
Thanks, Ash! :)
I see so many posts about blogger meetups but still haven’t attended one yet! I would love to go to one some day. They look like so much fun. Your notecards turned out great! So cute
Thanks, Julie! I’d definitely recommending hitting a blogger meetup, its fun to be able to meet other bloggers :)
oh how fancy! it looks like so much fun. how cute are your notecards?!
Thanks, Kristen! :)
i’ve done blogger meetups and they’re fun. however, i would LOVE to do one at a paper shop because i’m obsessed with stationary.
It was definitely pretty awesome, and I now have much more respect for those that do letterpress! It’s not a quick or simple process.
I wish I could have gone! This months is during the day, but hopefully I’ll make it to Septembers!
Yeah, I won’t be going to the one in August for the same reason, but I’m excited to see what’s planned for September!
What a cute line of cards!
I know right? They have some really awesome ones.
You would not believe how difficult it is to find an NJ specific group to meet up with! Lot’s of NE groups, but not many NJ specific. This looks like such a fun event!
Oh what a bummer! Well hey, you could always start your own, right? :)
This is very true! you’re always thinking!!
ahhh this is so cool. i need to look into my area to see if there are more blogging events.
Seriously, they’re super fun! :)
That swag bag looks so full of goodies! Love it!
Me too, it may have been my favorite part ;)
Wow, that is so cool! How fun to handpress your own card!
Definitely, I’m glad I didn’t miss it! It’s not everyday you get to use a super old school letter press!
My oh my, I loooooveee pretty stationary. This sounds like such a neat event! That swag bag itself is gorgeous!
It definitely was fun, and I won’t lie, the swag bag may have been my favorite part ;)
it looks like you had fun :)
Thanks, Karin! :)
