A trip to Inspiration-ville

Actually it was a trip to Nashville, but we picked up a heaping helping of inspiration from Hatch Show Print. If you’re not familiar with the name, you’re probably familiar with the work. If you’ve ever gone to a concert, county fair, or anywhere else that needs a poster, they may have had a hand in it.

They’ve been making block printed and letterpress posters for more than 100 years. We toured their studio, full of presses, woodblock type, and posters covering every inch of wall space. We even picked up one of their awesome prints. Definitely worth a visit if you’re near Nashville.

New products are here

This year’s line of new products is finally ready! We’ve been hard at work expanding our line of home décor, and are now offering napkins and placemats. On top of that, we’ve expanding our current line to include 100% certified organic cotton. It has all the benefits of regular cotton (super-soft and easy to care for) but it’s eco-friendly.

Fabric sneak peek

We’re so excited about our new line this year, we couldn’t even wait until it’s done. Below are some sneak peek images of what we’re working on. Soon we’ll be adding 100% certified organic cotton to our existing line of 100% linen products. We’ll also be adding a line of table top textiles such as placemats and napkins, and a new batch of fresh designs and colors (such as the golden yellow seen below).

Paper Cloud sample sale

Were you missing some of the old Paper Cloud products and colors? Well, we’ve just launched a sample sale section of our website where you can get discontinued or one-off Paper Cloud items at drastically reduced prices. They are products that we have previously made as samples or showroom items, and were made with the same process and materials as all our other products. But hurry, because we’re no longer offering these specific items. So once they’re gone, they’re gone.
