GreenPost

i'm such a happy girl--my special order for hand paper made by kendra of Green Post  on etsy arrived this past week.  such beautiful texture, weight and hues, with free form deckeled edges. i chose nimbus ( a lovely warm pale grey ) and rice ( a soft bright white)-- some for myself, and some for my husband for christmas ..ssshhhhh...
the package arrived with my favorite wrapping of brown craft paper ( now sing... brown paper packages tied up with strings....) -- and it echos Green Post's commitment in using recycled goods, wrapped simply and honestly with a holistic approach. the paper sheets are bundled in recycled cardboard, stamped with GreenPost's recycle logo, -- even kendra's business card is up-cycled.  a warm friendly package-- so much like kendra-- who genuinely cares about her hand crafted recycled paper goods. as an artist committed to quality-she puts care into each sheet--she sells plant-able gift tags with seeds embedded int the paper fibers. i've noticed that she has even more tags available in her shop now- inspired by nature, and in a wonderful array of colors -- mixes of wild flower with varieties like corn poppy,  pimpernell, chinese houses , and spurred snapdragon...
if you want to treat yourself, or someone special to some fine recycled paper goods, take a stroll over to GreenPost -- you'll find something wonderful, original,  made by hand, with an enormous amount of heart.

  2. Thank you so much, Kathi!
    It was an honor to have the opportunity to make paper for you & your husband. I am so happy that you appreciate my "holistic" (I like that!) approach--that is very encouraging! Your kind words have filled me with joy.
    Your presentation is top notch, as always! Love the photos.
    Thank you again for your friendship, inspiration and this fantastic post!

    Love, Kendra
