PRINT Magazine Regional Design Annual 2009

We just received word that Sideshow Press was chosen to be included in PRINT Magazine's Regional Design Annual...times two! There were over 5,000 entries this year so we are thrilled to have been chosen. And to make it even more special, the two pieces selected were pieces done for members of the Sideshow Press Family. The baby shower invite for Courtney and the birth announcement for Otto. The issue will be on news stands this November.

Movin' on Up (to 9 Cannon)

We are so thrilled to share the news that we are moving! After years, and we mean years, of searching, we've finally found the perfect home for our press. After nearly 60 years in business, Fralix Shoe Repair is closing their doors. The building is currently getting a fresh coat of paint inside and out and stained concret floors. We hope to be offically moved in by July 1, so please stop by and say "hello".

A Library Wedding

We just completed this set for our bride and groom getting married on the steps of the Pittsburgh Public Library. Keeping with the library theme, we created this set based on a small box of bookplates. Each set includes a custom wrapped box, invitation, response card and envelope, reception card, library history card and set of book plates for each guest. We love this small (3.5x5), non-traditional invite!

Charleston Meets Vietnam Part II

We've just completed this invitation for our "east meets west" bride and groom. This time we used blind letterpress, letterpress and gold edging on all pieces, which, we think was the perfect compliment to their save the date (see post from January 4th). The piece was finished off with a deep red letterpress liner and gold calligraphy by Elizabeth Jones.

The Sitting Room

Our next event will be Thursday, April 23 at The Sitting Room in Mount Pleasant. We'll be teaming up with four other local designers to showcase our wares. The show is from 10 am until 3 pm. Hope to see you there! 

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us last night, the ladies of Sideshow were blown away! Thanks to all your support, we're going to have to get pressin' again, and soon!

Lesesne was the perfect host! We are lucky to have such a inspiring store in Charleston. Thank you to Fish for the beautiful and delicious sweet treats.

If you missed last night, not to worry, we left the loot with the ladies at Lesesne. So if you happen to be in the neighborhood, stop by and say "Hello"!
