My last market of the year is on Sunday, from 10-5, at 3 Little Birds Sewing in Hyattsville, MD. Matchsticks and Charcoal, my newest book project, will be on sale for its second weekend ever! Here's a copy that has just been bound in the machine it's lying on, and needs only its final trim!

This Saturday, I'll be at the MPT Flea Market & Bazaar on the MPT campus in Owings Mills. I'll have a full selection of cards, holiday and otherwise, plus books, prints, and calendars! And I have to say - this market is fun. I have ended up doing a lot of shopping myself! mpt.org/fleamarket

I know it's late to be posting this - but tomorrow is the Lancaster Printers Fair, 11 AM- 4 PM at 2901 Willow Street Pike in Willow Street, PA. It's one of my favorite events every year because I get to go shopping, too. The wood type I used on this card was a purchase from a couple of years ago!

Just finished these cards with a new penguin woodcut! All that is left to do is to fold them. You can find them - and the rest of my silly cards - at my booth at the Kensington Day of the Book festival tomorrow, 4/27, or in my shop on my website next week.

Here's another bit of my work - #78 in my 'Helpful Hints and Essential Advice' series. I find vintage advice pamphlets to be hilarious, and I love being able to offer my own extra clever ideas in the same format. This one makes a perfect gift for the squirrels in your life.
