ny gift fair: austin press


there were a small handful of booths that really blew me away at the gift fair and austin press‘ booth in the keena corner was at the top of my list. austin press is the work of san francisco artist kimberly austin and aside from wanting to buy half of her designs on the spot, i loved her hand-drawn letters and vintage-style oval cards. she also does custom work for weddings and special occasions, so if you’re looking for beautiful stationery and can’t wait for the stationery show in the spring, be sure to check out austin press online right here.

I love all these beautiful cards- simply gorgeous. I looked at her online site and items cannot be ordered online? Or am I misreading it? Also, I was looking for that bottom set of cards, with the women. They are absolutely gorgeous but I can’t find them on her site either. Help!
