12_days_header_small.jpg

 

 

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.

    Ooh, the everything counts poster is sweet too. Like so many other things in my life, I’d put it in a baby’s room if I had one to decorate!

    I love the letter press calender. letter press calenders are great because you can use them and then frame them as art!

    I just found out my brother and his wife are expecting their first child. My sister in law is an Etsy-loving lady like me so I’m sure she’d love this poster. Can I say the poster is my favourite thing? Well, I just did.

  35. I loooove their number poster. (and their tea towels, the alphabet poster, the doves with the black and yellow lattice pattern. . . .)Do I have to choose one?

    I like the Utensils Tea Towel – it’s a really fun idea and executed perfectly.

    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.

    Posted on 03-Dec-08 at 11:40 am | Permalink
  38. My all-time favorite is actually the A-Z Animal Poster, followed closely by the Deer and Birch print (now sadly sold out). Thanks for the contest! I’d love to win one of these to hang in my new studio. :-)
