It feels like Christmas morning!

For the last 6 years, I've been dreaming of one day owning my own letterpress machine. Yesterday was that day.

The secret has been killing me, but yesterday the husband and I drove to Pennsylvania to pick up my gorgeous Golding Pearl #3 circa 1888! She needed a little TLC (restoration), but now she's perfect! And I'm in love!

She may look little, but she's heavy! We borrowed the muscles of a sweet friend to get her to her new home. Thanks, Zane!

I've been printing on a Vandercook press for the last 2 years, so I'll need to get some practice on sweet Pearl before I can take any new orders. Stay tuned!
