25.01.2022 a recent favourite Lunette in a super soft peachy-taupe light-grey

25.01.2022 Love promises. As a print maker, who spends hours of time on the process, the design, the printing plate, the set up of the old press which can print quickly (by the standards of the 1920’s) once it’s finally set up - there is something so romantic about taking all that time, to print, one. One print. ... Letterpress vows, for the one who these promises are for

25.01.2022 Puglia Italy, the land of Masserias where you can have your own little festival enclosed in a fortified old farmhouse estate, celebrating under the stars, with homegrown food by the pool. Little illustration of @masseriapotenti under a crescent moon in soft grey letterpress.

24.01.2022 There are still love stories. There are still wedding invitations being hand printed in our studio. For Lovers finding spaces in a mad world, to share their promises. This design was the smallest order we have printed so far - just 5. ... And done in the fastest turn around so far - just 4 days - from initial email, to hand drawn, to letterpess, to in the post. For an intimate ceremony in New York State. Because love is always loving. And a small guest list will mean an even more treasured momento in the invitations. *the stars aligned for that record turn around, and we highly recommend allowing atleast 2-4 weeks for working with us. But if you have a wild idea, we’re always open to try help, just email us.

23.01.2022 Hearts in Joshua Tree

22.01.2022 magic, quotes and inspiration From our Ephemera Zine, vol 1 edition 1

22.01.2022 Reminder for me and everyone, to keep doing the work - all the time. Millions of people shining the awareness on racism, white privilge and social injustice all together. All doing the same homework, its been a powerful start! When we shine the light of awareness on the ugly parts of ourselves and the society we live in, we cant un-see it. We cant go backwards.... Its a long journey to unravel. Lets keep encouraging each other, calling each other out ~ with love, holding safe spaces for awkward conversations. Showing up, supporting, learning, listening. Choosing love. With love.

22.01.2022 Pure paper magic. Our Jasmine design in a soft grey, tiny kangaroos letterpressed with the map, tassels and vellum envelope.

21.01.2022 Space for community Its amazing how small businesses have come together and donated so much! And as a small biz Ive been thinking about how I can help too and what feels most effective. I have a space for meetings, for collaboration that can be used to connect outside this digital world. I want to listen, learn, talk, connect and share ideas. To get out from behind my little phone screen. To be In Real Life and part of a conversation and movement that will make some chang...e. So theres free space, in my big warehouse studio, really close to Perth city. We can fit like 50 people (probably?!) in here for a movie night or talk or presentation. We can project interesting documentaries onto the wall (if anyone has a projector we can borrow) and talk about it afterwards. If you have an idea that needs a space, dm me. If you want to be a part of this, let me know. Environmental people, people who can decode politics for the rest of us, people who can keep plants alive, people with great meat-free-monday recipes, book readers who can loan some books out, we all have special talents and knowledge to share. I can lead a meditation, a crafter-noon, or a letter to the minister writing station. I can hold the space for your conversations and wisdom sharing, and I can turn on the studio fairy lights Image from the time @maitrijournal did a presentation at the studio, to raise awareness for his amazing walk across Europe to raise money for @thisworldexists @ The Little Press

20.01.2022 The new collection, in time for Libra season Greeting cards that stand on the desk like little sunrises, rainbows, a paper hug.

20.01.2022 Weekend vibes ~ This one for the Festa Dopo Il Matrimonio in Puglia, Italy. So that tiny letterpressed pizza slice illustration is one of those legit, Italian wood fired ones with tomatoes that only seem to exist in the Mediterranean.

20.01.2022 If youre feeling overwhelmed - go outside and loose yourself in the smallest of details in nature. The feel of the breeze, the universe of detail in a single leaf. If we fall in love with the world - big love, and awe - for all its interconnected detail, beauty and life, then surely we cant make choices that will hurt it. When you love something, you fight for it. And when you fight with love, thats powerful. ...

20.01.2022 Thanks to all the maps weve done for the south west of WA, my womanly sense of direction is great around these parts. Were offline and sleeping under the stars, back in the studio the first Monday in Jan. Peace and Love everyone x

19.01.2022 Oh the places... Grateful for all those whirlwind travels, island hopping, plane hopping. The heightened senses taking in all the smells, the tastes the music - the balmy tropical nights... So much of the world, Ive been revisiting in my memories. This is some new hand lettered musings for our guided journal on isolation & social distancing. Itll be printed in a beautiful and colourful way to what you usually see here. Theres a sneak peek on our stories today. Cant wait to show you more - its officially launching tomorrow

19.01.2022 When the world feels out of control. These bushfires leave me feeling so helpless. But after realising thats not helpful, I found it nice to refocus on what I can control. And thats empowering. One little person can do so much.

17.01.2022 twenty twenty Isnt it cool how this is the only year that will ever be, in the history of the planet, numbered 2020. And how the saying twenty twenty vision means to see clearly, with sharpness, without distortion. Ive been musing a lot on this lately.

17.01.2022 Shiney Hearts we made a batch of hearts in rose gold foil and they are delicious. Perfect for tying to a love note or a v-day or gal-day pressie. We dropped a bundle off at beloved @remedystore down the road from our studio, the day we left for New York. Thats the only place you can get them (theyre not even on our website yet). But excited to say these hearts will be scattered across America soon with all our lovely new stockists weve met whilst here in New York!

17.01.2022 Our block printed greeting cards. Made with a beautiful process that ensures no two patterns fall in the exact same spot, and each one is one-of-a-kind.

16.01.2022 Luscious business cards for @myrtleandclay who took this photo and was an absolute joy to work with on her branding and printing. It’s around that time of year that we print beautiful gift vouchers for a bunch of wonderful small businesses. We’re v grateful for likeminded businesses that we get to meet and work with, because they trust us to get the vibe of the colour just right in the printing. Which brings me back to this image, where we colour matched hand mixed ink to the perfect shade of silk ribbon.

16.01.2022 Destination dreaming. Always.

15.01.2022 Something created from my personal listening, learning and self enquiry ~ I was inspired by the Acknowledgement to Country which we often hear or see at events, or in a corporate or business setting. I thought it would be sweet to create one to be used at home, where families could learn together, the traditional names of the peoples and region of their area. To research or learn in a cultural exchange. I envisage this displayed in a home or a studio - an important reminder... to keep close by. If there is respect, love and acknowledgement, then surely it would be unfathomable to anyone, that a scared, 800 year old tree be killed for a road, to live with huge gaps in equality and social injustices, or ancient caves with rock art be destroyed by mining companies. If there is more love then there is no room for hate. If you’d like a print, all money will be donated to @seedmob (direct link in stories) and if you’re in Perth you can also buy these at the wonderful @remedystore in Leedy or Freo xx

12.01.2022 Some table scape inspo from Bali Whether its taco night or a silly season celebration ~ flowers, candles and the carefully placed pieces make all the difference. Setting the intention of being present with your friends and food, sharing moments If only every dinner setting looked like this, under the stars, in beautiful Bali celebrating love!

11.01.2022 Welcome to another edition of Beauty & The Plate. An embossing plate has two sides, one that pushes out and one that pulls in. So the result is a double sided print. It pops up from the paper on the print side, and is super tactile. Perfect for images like palm trees Made for the wonderful @cmhspatherapy who has these embossed on her menus ~ surely making them the best menus in Leedy.

10.01.2022 Little letterpress kangaroos. Because were still thinking about them. Sending love from perth to everyone affected, and standing in solidarity to make changes for this beautiful planet.

09.01.2022 So surreal to walk into one of the most magical stores in New York City @abccarpetandhome and see my work amongst the beautifully curated items. Henna, Palm Reader and Little Luna Moth art is front row and center on this stunning display (with a bunch of our cards). So grateful ... Swipe for more dreamy corners of the store and spot Little Press Mandala tags hanging out under those beautiful Buddha snow globes. Found our Goddess notebooks, lots of greeting cards Hamsa tags and Heart Notebooks too. How amazing is the crystal display! Could have spent all day (and all my money) here. @ ABC Carpet & Home

09.01.2022 Dinner in Morocco We sent our handmade paper off to the desert to join an international collaboration curated and organised by the beautifully talented @butlerandwhite_ I love that in the wedding industry the world becomes a smaller place, as we work with so many couples and stylists from all over ~ ... tap for the details of this international team of collaborators. The menus and placecards here are hand lettered with a calligraphy nib and letterpress details by us

09.01.2022 What the moon says to the sun That brief moment where they see each other across the earth. From The Sun & The Moon zine. If you’re on our mailing list, you’ll hear some exciting Ephemera Zine news soon.

08.01.2022 I was lucky to have a quintessential British grandmother, named Doris, who often repeated little old sayings. Id wonder where they started from. Waste Not Want Not was one of her favourites. And apparently this one is its precursor. Its hauntingly relevant today. From the latest Ephemera Zine, title Thrift. Made from recycled art seconds. Has anyone else been inspired to make things lately? I cut up some lovely fabric I bought in India years ago and make a slightly average blouse, but it kept me offline for a good four evenings

08.01.2022 Paper deliveries Beautiful shot by @mamacita_kat of her paper magic arrival

07.01.2022 The studio shrine Featuring our faux-tin frames with polaroids of travel, home, art prints and passport photos.... Cute mirror from @available_offline

07.01.2022 A place to document this weird time of social distancing and isolation, and all the feels. Ive been pouring my heart into this guided journal with questions, space to be creative and space to map out the weeks. Something to be able to look back later on That Time We Had To Stay At Home. A print dream, it features a letterpress cover, soy printed pages and colourful riso feature pages by my friends @neighbourhoodpress ... available online now. See more

07.01.2022 Gift idea for someone who doesnt want a present: Aquire a beautiful flower from a neighbourhood garden and attach a tiny hand written love note. (Shown here with our Hamsa tags)

06.01.2022 A gentle reminder, to get out of the mind, and into the body ~ into the heart space. This is my favourite new meditation quote I found whilst researching for the Oasis zine. Imagining the mind like a colourful, jangling caravan, bursting at its seams, thoughts like loud music constantly blaring. Rattling down the road on squeaky broken wheels, along roads that go nowhere, with neon road signs that all claim that tell us to go this way, go that way. We can get off the caravan... of thinking anytime. One way is to take a pit stop, take your shoes off and feel your bare feet on the earth. Image hand letterpressed and photographed in our studio as part of the Oasis edition of our Ephemera Zine, available online.

05.01.2022 Isnt it a beautiful thing that we are free to create all the tiny thoughts and choices which make up our days, and weave together to make this one unique life. If you want some journaling prompts check out stories from the latest zine. Rob and I both spent time today filling out our Reflection zines...and after all that happened, the best moments had the same things in common : being present, being in nature, and being with people or a person we love. May this new lap around the sun bring you many beautiful moments

04.01.2022 Waves of hand made paper ~ This batch is from my Tibetan friends, at a paper workshop I volunteered at in India. I used it for my first exhibition back in 2013 and some of the prints didnt go too well. I couldnt bear throw them out, so they were stashed in the old studio for years. (If you ever wondered what was in that old trunk that was used in the meeting area for a table!)... In the move they resurfaced and got made into the latest edition of our zine. Aptly titled : Thrift.

04.01.2022 Holding space for life in iso...Ive created a beautiful guided journal to hold space for this weird time that we are all in. With the hope that everything will go back to normal soon, its nice to honour what is & has transpired, and how this experience is & was for us. Like any awkward and difficult situation, its nice to get out of it and move on ASAP. But its in the difficult moments we find out so much about ourselves. Journaling is a beautiful process, and now is such a great time to be recording thoughts and moments. If you dont have a journaling practice, the guided questions in this book will help put pen to paper. Presale is on now till Monday night and all orders placed at this time will be sent out with extra paper treats once its hot off the press next week

03.01.2022 Like a treasure from the weekend ~ Seashell ~ the newest addition to our foil & emboss notebook range.

03.01.2022 Were starting to run low on these! ~ a very special small batch of self guided journals from this wild time in history. If youre longing to stay at home and not go back to busy, this is for you. If youre feeling like that moment to pause passed you by, this would be for you. If you love making little time capsules to revisit with older eyes, this is for you. When everyone around the world is in the same boat, all around the world, it really is for anyone. But theres only... a few left Being a small studio, and making things in house, we were able to feel, dream, and create in a short space of time. Something a big brand just wouldnt be able to do when works outsourced around the world and things are pre planned so far in advance. I dont think well reprint a new batch, but seeing how much this resonated has been inspiring for new paper things! Photo by the wonderful @mamacita_kat who makes everything beautiful!

03.01.2022 Pattern + texture. Nothing beats a super light grey letterpress For these lovers by the beach

02.01.2022 Ipanema, Rio This custom design features the Ipanema boardwalk pattern, lush foliage and tiny details for Jeff & Stephen. A stack of luscious thick cotton thats doing its own happy dance I cannot wait to draw the map for this one, and see the main suite come together!

02.01.2022 Dreaming of palm trees, always. Price lists with divine massage and facial offerings from Leedys newest small business and Spa Therapy @cmhspatherapy led by Courtney - the coolest and most beautiful soul. So grateful for the amazing people we get to meet and work with on their stationery journeys

01.01.2022 Friday night plans: reaching for favourite journal to pour whatever comes out onto the pages. Tea, takeaway and favourite cute comfy wear. I dont even feel old or bad about it

01.01.2022 The moon representing the mind The sun representing our power step one: calm and quiet the mind... From our zine titled The Moon

01.01.2022 When an Italian loves an Irishman. Quote in Italian, with the traditional Irish symbol of love and friendship. Letterpress printed on the belly band
