old school stationers

old school stationers has had a home in o'suzannah for several years, but the newest series of cards has been unbelievable! we can't get over their awesomeness, seriously. each image is hand drawn and then printed on their 120-year-old press in portland, oregon. they are designed as cards to be sent to your pals, but we think they're also like sending a piece of art that could easily be framed once it's served its purpose as correspondence. i know i'd love to have any of these on my walls.

check out this group of "in the kitchen" cards:

and this 1960s camping series:

this mason jar of flowers is so lovely and summery it almost makes you forget it's nearly 100 degrees outside!

daddy's day

we are just 4 short days away from father's day, june 20th. and while you may think you have the dad that has everything, we think we have some great gifts, books and cards to brighten your dad's day and to let him know just how much you love him. here are just a few examples of the great manly gifts floating around the shop.

torpedo 8 pc. screwdriver set

hamburger timer

handy little flask

10' teeny measuring tape

days with my father is a really touching book by phillip toledano, documenting his father late in his life. the photos are all incredibly moving and a great way to say a sincere i love you.

the man's book: the essential guide for the modern man by thomas fink is a great little gift for more fun-loving dads, and will teach him to tie a tie, mix a martini, among other things


finally send some love his way with these great cards:

molly m jewelry designs

molly mcgrath is the face behind one of our favorite jewelry lines, molly m designs. molly uses the laser cutting skills she learned in architecture school to produce delicate and lovely pendants and earrings. and in case you needed another reason to love her work, they are usually made from sustainable materials like bamboo, veneer from responsibly farmed forests and recycled suede and felt! come see for yourself!

gifties for graduates

somehow it's already nearing the end of may, and graduations of all sorts are upon us! here are some of our favorite treats, large and small, for those donning caps and gowns.

regional assembly of text graduation card

egg press die-cut triumph' card

hobo wallets, a classic grad gift and great with a little somethin' somethin' tucked inside!

for those who are celebrating graduation by backpacking across europe or cross-country road tripping, a travel journal, like this one by elum, is a great way to remember a summer of freedom.

we've recently gotten in a lot of new jewels, from sweet silver tashi to lasercut molly m pendants, but one of my favorites for graduation is this pyrrha necklace with a 'wings and wheat' seal. the wings represent protection and the wheat the achievement of hopes and dreams.

graduation often means starting a new job or a new school, and that, in turn, means a new bag! this shimmery silver number from highway is a great bag for either, and only one of many styles we have in the shop.

a few more ideas:

snatch up a new dryads frame and insert a picture of the graduate on his or her first day of school. (this would also work as a gift from the graduate to parents -- thanks, mom and dad, for getting me this far!)

address books paired with a nice pack of stationery from snow & graham or smudge ink are great for graduates who are moving elsewhere. don't forget to pencil in your own address before you gift it!

come visit us at the shop, and we'll be happy to help you find just the thing for your graduates!
