Burnt Coat Harbor Light, Hockamock Head, Swan's Island, Maine. Steamboat Governor Bodwell was the boat that transported folks to Swan's Island. In a January 1924 blizzard, she struck a ledge. All of the passengers made it back to land safely, but one islander who gave their coat to a rescued passenger, later died of pneumonia. The boat was repaired and continued to transport island residents until seven years later, while docked in the harbor, when she caught fire and burned.

Bought these framed cards/prints in a charity shop today - recycled paper, typeset by hand, antique letterpress printing from 2003. Have since proceeded to go on a deep dive of the creators. Some of my favs I've found below.
Saturn Press
Saturn Press founded in 1986 by married couple Jane Goodrich who creates the designs and James van Pernis who runs the company's 4 antique printing presses. Based on Swan's Island off the Maine coast, this eco-conscious company helped create the bridge that saved craft printing. Using an old-fashioned letterpress technique, paper sourced from a sustainable family-run mill, and a love for what they do, Saturn Press expanded the colour palette with custom blending of each ink colour and engaging in elaborate methods rarely used by printers of the past or present.

July Night
Tumblr media
Full moon, quiet lake, a good friend, and a solid canoe sounds like a perfect evening. This letterpress card brings us along for paddle under a plum night sky. One can almost hear the dips of the oars, peeping peepers, and the occasional loon call, a Maine summer soundtrack. Let your words flow, guided by the easy current.

Due South
Tumblr media
The end of Summer in Maine is often filled with mixed feelings. Truth is, seasons are what some people appreciate most in this northern clime.
This unique and vibrant letterpress card reveals some of the underlying beauty in transition as colors fade from warm to cool. A hundred geese or more are in flight -their dark silhouettes tangled with leafless branches on trees.
The image is credited to Francis Lee Jaques, a nationally-known wildlife artist who worked for over 20 years with the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Though his name is not of the household variety, his legacy has shaped America’s vision of nature for generations.

Cloud Formations
Tumblr media
We love didactic art! Sky blue and gray imprints enlighten you with old-time nicknames and identifying characteristics of those white things overhead.
According to this illustrative chart:
Cirrus = Feather Clouds
Cirro Stratus = Tangled Web Clouds
Cirro Cumulus = Mackerel Clouds
Alto Cumulus = Sheep Clouds
Alto Stratus = Curtain Clouds

My current collection of Barbie movie prints based off of the original movies from the 2000's! A few more may be added later on (I know I'm missing 12 dancing princesses and Magic of Pegasus) But, it's nice to see them all together in once place. ^^

Wanted to drop a few of my classic Barbie pieces here as well because I really liked them compiled! Currently obsessed with jjba but my tumblr account is a mess and maybe I'll drop some fanart pieces I did and gathered over the years.

the old barbie movie soundtracks genuinely do not get enough acclaim. Arnie Roth is a fucking genius and we don't talk about it nearly enough for my liking.
