19 | A SUMMERSET + VERY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT L&A CUSTOM PAPER

| FAVORITE SUNSET . shot july 2008 . CANADA |

It's the end of the Summer for LOTUS & ASH : and it was quite the summer.

With plenty of time for design and paper, LOTUS & ASH was able to add new designs to every category of paper - from celebrations to greeting cards, personalized stationery to hand-sewn books, the summer allowed for the L&A portfolio to expand gracefully.

Though the Summer is coming to a close, the Autumn is much anticipated. With the debut of the newly redesigned STANFORD INTERMISSION in September, a summer project by LOTUS & ASH, and the dates of the non profit events, including THETA BREAKERS, MUSIC for MATT, and IN THE LOOP, with designs by LOTUS & ASH fast approaching, it seems like the LOTUS & ASH SUMMER is becoming a LOTUS & ASH AUTUMN.

Lastly, BINARY PRESS is set to debut next month at the Cantor Art Center, the first letterpress project of its kind.

All in all, this summer has been simply splendid.

: : : NOTE TO ALL LOTUS & ASH : CUSTOM PAPER FANS : : :

At the end of September, I will be leaving California, to study at Oxford University until the end of the year. The good news? I cannot wait to spend countless hours in their libraries looking at ancient manuscripts, and studying their typography.

The bad news ... I have to leave my printer at home.

WHAT IT MEANS : I cannot fill ANY paper orders while abroad, until December 15th when I return.

So, IF YOU ANTICIPATE NEEDING ANY CUSTOM PAPER BEFORE DECEMBER, please contact me as soon as possible, so we can create whatever you may need.

It's me, myself, and my printer until I leave at the end of the month.

I WANT SOME PAPER!
