1 week ago by craftsanity 2019 is off to a busy start and I’m thrilled to have some great momentum going. Just got back from the post office (made it there a comfortable 10 minutes before close) and now home to edit a podcast, prep more CraftSanity orders and prepare for a whole new semester of teaching journalism. I’m looking forward to some cool opportunities ahead and committed to early workouts and lots of water bottle refilling. : ) P.S.

3 days ago by craftsanity I rescued some overpriced type from an antique shop today. It always makes me sad to see fonts all broken up by people looking to cash in by selling letters piece by piece. But at least these orphan letters will get a chance to get inked again. : ) #letterpressprinting #woodtype #type #fonts #letters #craftsanitypress #printer #orphantype #letterpress
