bird on a chair (or camper)


one of my favorite designers is Jacqueline Schmidt of Screech Owl Design.  I love the whimsy and play between everyday objects and nature.  Jacqueline says it best:

Bird on a chair? Our images grow from an inspiration derived in nature. Our colorful cards playfully bring nature into contact with our quirky yet urbane domesticity. We enjoy cobbling these images together in a humorous and harmonious habitat where wildlife and wing chairs go hand in hand. At Screech Owl Design, we believe personal connection should not come at the expense of environmental responsibility. We print all of our cards on 100% post-consumer recycled paper or tree free 100% cotton paper recovered from scraps. Because of developments in processing recycled materials, we are able to offer eco-friendly products that look and feel as luxurious as any non-recycled paper.  

Come see for yourself at Birch.

calendars

Do I dare say it, but lately it has started to feel like fall in Seattle.  Believe me, if the sun starts shining again and I have to pull the fans out of my basement, I will be thrilled.  Until then, I get to think about some of those things that remind me fall is around the corner.  One of those is the arrival of new calendars.  At Birch we will have a small select group of great designs.  The first to arrive is the 2011 Bee Calendar from Hammerpress.
