Ok, very excited over here. This golden little book is the first I’ve published that was designed by someone else. And now I want to do more of it!

Creative collaboration inspires me no end. And the idea I can help other designers make beautiful, handcrafted books? I’m in! So, tell all your designer friends itching to make books to get in touch with me.

Here is what Maggie made for her husband Luke’s golden birthday (he turned 24 on August 24.) It is a compilation of letters and photos from friends and family paying tribute to a really great guy.

A great - and I mean GREAT - flea market find via the new Ruby Press blog. This little “framed” photo is the size of a playing card!

 Yesterday my uncle found this crumpled up real estate section of the newspaper from 1953. It was stashed under a corner of the Little House - the little family cottage where my husband and I currently live.

Was it for insulation? Who knows. But check out these prices…

A view house for $12,650! A week’s stay at a hotel for $7! A down payment for $495! Oh, why weren’t we born 60 years earlier.

But as my 90-year old grandmother kindly reminded us, that was a lot of money back then.

I am such a lucky gal to have enlisted the assistance of some mighty talented people to pull this site together. So now, it’s time for thank you’s.

To photographer extraordinaire Kevin Delahunty, rockstar programmer and all around cool chick Happy Kush, and the most talented calligrapher I know - Betsy Dunlap. Thank you, thank you.

Our new site is up! I hope you love it, and enjoy exploring all our books in a much better format than we could offer before.

This photo is from Seneca’s first year book - a picture a day. What a great photo idea!

Happy day of LOVE.

I am cracking up at these photos and seriously wondering when sweats were invented.

I’ve been working today on Janda’s next book and noticed a great little trend in these photos of her grandfather: he seems to enjoy exercising in work clothes! Or at the very least posing for pictures in them.

Check these out…this is Larry.

And I’m thinking maybe it’s a generational thing because we have this great photo of my own grandfather doing the same thing!

Or maybe sweats just weren’t invented yet?
