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.
ReplyDeleteYou get my stamp of approval. You have a nice name for a brand or a shop.
