So far in my Letters from Rita and shop owner journey, I’ve only offered custom lettering prints. I’ve done this for a couple reasons, like wanting each print to be unique and because I love it, but partly because I was scared to venture into the world of lots-of-prints-at-once. That means you have to find a printer and actually think about production numbers and not to mention have design / concept ideas to make a cohesive line!

Earlier in the summer I was talking to one of my maker friends, who mixes custom orders with ready-made items in her Etsy shop. I asked her what she thought about my shop being purely custom, and she was honest with me. She said that she loves my work, but wouldn’t know what quote or lyrics to have ask me to letter. If I had a bunch of ready-made prints for her to choose from, it would be easier!

 

I took that perspective to heart. Even before that conversation I had been experimenting with potentially coming up with a line of prints. But ever SINCE that conversation, I’ve been working really hard at it: not just thinking about it, but DOING it. And I’m SO happy to announce that starting TODAY I finally have a real, live, pretty line of prints! I’m calling it the Peace Love Line. We’ve got peace, love and a lot of creative options (think peonies and mint chocolate chip). The lettering is simple and clean and printed as 5x7s in shiny gold foil!! (Yes, it all started when I was eating mint chocolate chip ice cream 🙂 )

You can now purchase your very own #PeaceLoveLine print in my Etsy Shop!

Thanks so much for being excited with me!
