    I was just looking at (and loving!) this project. And then I saw that these letterpress posters of the vine alphabet (http://tinyurl.com/yd9slw2) are for sale in her shop. Dangerous!

    I adore type. My mother was a graphic designer when I was growing up so I spent hours under her desk play with lettraset books. Thanks for sharing another great find!! That Q knocks my socks off!
