Notepads Are Back!
☆ December 1, 2014
By very popular demand, the notepads are back! And this year, they’re better than ever, with double covers: instead of a blank white back cover, there are two gorgeous prints of Charlie acting as front and back covers for each notepad.
For the last two years, I’ve had my local family-owned print shop print Charlie’s calendars on their printing press. These are stacks of prints waiting to be cut down and bound into calendars:
They always make extra prints as they’re perfecting the ink levels, so that any imperfect prints may be culled. Last year, I was at my printer’s after I’d picked up the calendars and saw the stack of loose calendar prints. Many of them were absolutely perfect – they were just extras, with not enough partners to make a full calendar – and it felt a shame to have them thrown away. I pulled out all the beautiful prints and asked my printer to turn them into notepads. They were a huge hit, and we’ve done it again this year.
Since they’re made from extra calendar pages, the back of each cover does have a calendar grid printed on it, but who cares when the front is so beautiful? They’re great toss-around doodle pads, perfect for kids, and I keep one by my bed for midnight thoughts. Awesome stocking stuffers, just $6 each ~ find ‘em in the Shop.

I’d love to have a print of Charlie (the one for the notepad where he’s looking at the camera and his collar shows a little).
Will that be available?

Isn’t working with a print shop wonderful? I love the smell of the inks, the sounds of the press, pulling off prints to scan for defects… It’s such an intense process and yet so personal. “I did this” you can say with pride, holding a bound item in your hands that you saw through from sketch to finished product. I’m glad to know there’s a small local press close to you. Every community should have one.

Gorgeous. You’re not only good to animals, you’re good to local businesses as well. Not that I’m surprised. xo

I received mine this morning and I’m head over heals in love with them. They are going to be my new place to for my mandala artwork. Thanks Sherve, you truly made my day.
