Recently while reading through my daily bloglist, I saw a post on
Matters of Style mention a local etsy crafter who did custom stamps in calligraphy. I thought this would be a great idea to do a small stamp of my name on the front page of the books in my library. It came in the mail yesterday and I couldn't be happier with it!
I dealt with
Trialbycupcakes, who was so easy to work with and let me create the stamp sans address. Thats one of the great things about etsy, you're generally dealing with people who work out of their homes as a small business and they can help you get what you're looking for. I will probably use the stamp for other uses as well, but now time to head to the store to get an assortment of different colored stamp pads!

I had a stamp made by an etsy artist too and what a great experience! I love this personalized stamp for gift tags or home made treats.
You get my stamp of approval. You have a nice name for a brand or a shop.

So nice that you like it. I was thinking of getting one too but I thought the whole name + address might be too big. I love the name only idea
That blogger would be yours truly :-) I also ordered my stamp from trialbycupcakes and it turned out perfectly! I love yours too!
I got a return address stamp from etsy and LOVE IT! You have easily convince me to move forward and order another....hmmmm, what should it be?
Omg, I'd like one of those stamps to carry around on my key ring for every time I'm asked to sign a receipt! XXOO
The stamp is wonderful...such a fun and classic idea...I think every surface of your home needs to watch out!

Oh I might have to do something like this.
Quite a nifty little item. On a rainy day you could make your own "signature" wallpaper!
Stefan,
That is fantastic and the one you designed for yourself is really beautiful.
I've always had a custom stamp for letters and cards with our last name and address, but I just love your idea of stamping your books!!! I think I am going to need one of these too, thanks for sharing the information
