Just received the latest sampler with lots of lovely goodies. I particularly liked the strange prints of blind girls from Cate Anevski, the greeting card sampler from lizardpress (subscribe for these truly lovely vintage letterpress card sets), also really enjoying the really cool cufflinks made from coins - very cool - from wabisabi brooklyn.

More cool cards at microwave girl - really cute - I was sent a mr moustache set of 6 postcards but I also really like the ‘happy no particular holiday’ cards. My daughters favourite was the doggie hair pin by travelling rhinos.

I have been admiring Alicia Bock photography for a while now and was pleased to see one of her prints in the sampler. They are really quite delightful - slightly nostalgic. Check out her blog too - and etsy store.

Sampler has started collaborating with artists and illustrators on exclusive sampler prints - check them out here and the sampler select seems like a pretty cool deal - limited-edition samplers with exclusive items created for the Sampler by some of their favorite Contributors.
