W E L C O M E T O t h e 6 . 2 5 Pa p e r 2 0 1 7 C ATA L O G about our staff we are paper people. perfectly bound, fabric journals make us cry; thick, recycled papers make us swoon, and the smell of a new pencil shipment inspires us to create. also, we’re really freaking fun to be around and hope you will find the humor in our products intriguing, cheeky and possibly just slightly over the line. the number one goal in our own store is to hear our customers laugh (and laugh ... and sometimes gasp). we hope your customers will enjoy these new products as much as ours do! About the designer – abbey fowler With a background in photography and magazine layout (stationery trends, holla!), my talents reside in composition and art direction. i rarely illustrate, but have had the opportunity to collaborate with very talented ‘
designers. You will read about some of them in the pages to come. i opened our retail store in fall 2011. Since then, it’s grown in size, location and staff ... pretty much the best staff one could ask for! We are lucky enough to test new products with our own customers before adding them to the line — improving designs and weeding out the less popular cards as we have direct conversations (and laughs) with shoppers.
what’s insidE 2017 YOU MAY NOTICE A SLIGHTLY SMALLER CATALOG THAN YEARS PAST, AS THIS YEAR WE ARE DILIGENTLY FOCUSING IN ON WHAT WE DO BEST. WE’VE GREATLY EXPANdED OUR HAND-LETTERED OFFERINGS (PAGE 4); ADDING NEW CARDS, OFFERING NEW (LOWERPRICED!) WALL PRINTS AND ALSO ROLLING OUT BABY ONESIES. OUR MOST POPULAR CARDS, THE ACTUALLY LINE (PAGE 14), GREW WITH QUITE A FEW NEW CARDS AS WELL. (ACT79 being my personal favorite this year!) WE’VE ADDED TWELVE NEW BOX SETS (PAGE 24) FEATURING HAND-PAINTED ARTWORK FROM LOCAL WEST MICHIGAN ARTIST, MISSY MORROW. HER PATTERNS AND BRUSH STROKES GO WELL TOGETHER FOR A LOVELY NOTECARD DISPLAY. IF THERE IS SOMETHING FROM OUR OLD CATALOGS THAT YOU MISS, GIVE US A SHOUT — IT’S LIKELY WE STILL HAVE STOCK AVAILABLE! WE ARE PROUD TO SAY, ALL OUR CARDS AND ENVELOPES ARE MADE WITH RECYCLED PAPERS AND PRINTED LOCALLY IN MICHIGAN!

Introducing our first line of wearables — a collection of onesies with bold, empowering statements for your bitty adventurer. Last year we collaborated with Olivia of Voyage Lettering. We started with a motivating 2017 wall calendar we called HER Calendar. From there, we created cards, wall prints and now these great onesies. Like our other products, we wanted these to be printed locally and happened to connect with Treetops Collective just at the right time. They are a West Michigan organization, passionate about connecting local designers and businesses to refugee women who are in need of work — creating cross-cultural friendship, community development and meaningful jobs for this skilled, eager workforce. They were instrumental in connecting us with Love Works, a social enterprise started by a retired teacher who is dedicating her time to teaching screen-printing and other creative vocations to refugee women. Additionally, LoveWorks values being good stewards of this earth – sourcing their materials responsibly and using water-based ink to help keep our beautiful Great Lakes clean.

about the artist
«
Missy Morrow is a professional illustrator and faculty member at Kendall College of Art and Design. She especially loves painting old cars and jazzy musicians. We chose some details from her larger paintings to utilize for this line. We fell in love with missy’s patterns and brush strokes — hopefully you will too!
