How beautiful are these images? I love the saturated colors and vague resemblance to vintage paint-by-numbers. Each picture is a card by Pie Bird Press, hand-printed on an antique letterpress. And while I know the intent is that these lovely greetings be mailed to friends and family I can’t help but think they would look fantastic individually framed and grouped on the playroom wall. A trip to Ikea for affordable, simple frames and you’re in business. Visit the Pie Bird Press site to see the complete line. The following is their charming ‘about us’ blurb:

“Pie Bird Press is a little company with a lot of heart. The letterpress printing process and its rich history are intrinsic to our approach; the stories and lessons we have learned from printers with a lifetime of experience are some of our greatest assets. We do all our linoleum carving and letterpress printing by hand and take pride in bold, saturated designs that are draw from years of flea market hunting and collecting. Our inspiration comes from a love of all things vintage and colorful, and of the good things in life that put a smile on anybody’s face: fireworks, glazed donuts, holiday cookies, puppies and pumpkins on the vine. Our mission is to spread a feeling of nostalgia and cheer to everyone who receives our cards.”
