12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping 2008: Ink + Wit
 |
Anyone who regularly reads this blog knows that I am a big Ink + Wit fan, and in keeping with my goal to share my favorites with you for ‘12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping’ I am so happy to share Ink + Wit with you today. |
|
Ink + Wit is the line of paper goods, art & home goods from Tara Hogan. You can choose from letterpressed, silkscreened or offset printed goods all featuring Tara’s wonderful designs and illustrations. I’m personally enamored with Tara’s prints and I own many. I have a complete set of her Aesop’s Fables series (it’s an older series, but you can still see the Tortoise and Hare here) and I also own the Pommebirds among others. Whether you have an art lover (like me) or paper fiend on your holiday list, you can’t go wrong with Ink + Wit! Good gift ideas include: the 2009 Letterpress Calendar (a collaboration with Pistachio Press), the Owls or Utensils Tea Towels or Wall Hangings, Everything Counts poster & more. You can shop at for Ink +Wit goods at inkandwit.com and in the Etsy shop. Before you head off to Ink + Wit though, make sure to enter to win one of Tara’s A-Z Animal Posters and an Elephant Postcard set. To win: Leave a comment on this post with your favorite Ink + Wit goodies. Multiple entries will be accepted, but you must leave a separate comment for each entry. This will increase your chances for winning! I will choose one random commenter to win the prize. This contest will end Wednesday, December 3rd at 5pm EST. THE ENTRY PERIOD FOR THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED! Stay tuned for the winner. Click here to enter the current ‘12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping’ Contest. |

I’m loving the Birch Trees Mini Notes set - I have to admit though, they’re so cute I wouldn’t be able to use them to write an everyday to-do list. It would have to be something special, like a thank you note to a friend or a love note.
