These lovelies are up in my shops, here and here. These are reprints of a collaboration I did with Lara Cameron a few years ago. They were originally printed as such – japanese trees in teal, birch in orange, treehouses in leaf green – but just reprinted them in this lovely subtle silver. There is just the slightest bit of shine to these cards and I like how they look a bit like brocade, especially the Japanese trees one.
So, if you are a stickler for details, as I am, you might notice when you click on that second photo above that the text reads melbourne, australia + portland, oregon. Wait a minute. I don't live in Portland anymore. I realized this slight error when about half way through the stack. So I let it go. I do believe this is called picking my battles. And it's kind of a big deal for me to do this because as I've duly noted before ... I'm sort of a perfectionist. So, for the record, I live in Corvallis now, not Portland ... but I am still Lynn Russell and this is still Satsuma Press and the cards – they are still pretty.
By the way, it's been sneaking up on me ... I will be at the Sunday Best Holiday Sale on November 28th and 29th at The Cleaners at the Ace Hotel in Portland. Please come! This is the only holiday sale I've decided to do this year. I just couldn't pass it up; the company is so fine.

You are so right - they are still pretty. In fact I'd say they're absolutely gorgeous! As are your calendars, both of which have now arrived - thank you.
these are beautiful in silver! i especially like the wrap around to the back. hope you have a good weekend :)
congrats on letting go! it's scary but freeing not to be so consumed by the details. it's hard to know which battles to let go, but i do believe you made the right choice. let it go! yay! although i'm not always a stickler for the details (it comes and go), i'm having a hard time letting go of some minor flaws on some sewing work i'm doing for myself. sigh.
Ha! I actually laughed out loud when I read this. Good for you for letting it go...this is not a battle you needed to fight. I have the original set of cards in my studio, they're lovely in silver as well :)
