Two Paper Dolls: AIGA “New to You” Event

Vanessa of Two Paperdolls asked me to shoot an event they hosted at their design center last night, so of course I didn't hesitate to join in:)  They hosted the AIGA "New to You" series, which is an annual lecture series where different creative small businesses in Philly speak to the guests about the history of the business, and how they grew their businesses to where it is today.  Then the Two Paperdolls employees gave us a tour of their letterpress area, and gave all the guests a cool letterpress gift:)  Here are some of the shots from last night:

All of the delicious treats:

Here are the AIGA folks, talking about the invitation for the "New to You" event, which Two Paperdolls designed:

Here is Vanessa doing her thing:

A few more of Vanssa, showing some of her handy-work:

Is it wrong that I covet her boots??  I LOVE them.  I need them.  Now.  :)

I loved all of the things hanging on their walls in the letterpress area (if you look at the picture on the top right, you can see a picture of Alison Conklin's awesome letterpress business cards - she is the one who took the awesome shots of me in my header!):

Then Scott from Two Paperdolls gave a demonstration on their letterpress.  It starts like this:

Then at the pull of a handle turns out like this!  Voila!

The final product that each guest was able to take home:

It was packed in their studio!

Loved these little cut-outs:

Can I mention again how much I love how their space is decorated?  Vanessa, can you please come decorate my house??  I'd love you forever!  Hah:)

They also had some of their work on display:

I had a great night hanging out at the event, Vanessa - thanks for asking me to come get some shots!
