...now you know. I've got a couple of weeks off of school right now, and have been trying to use my time productively. I've had varying degrees of success with this, but one of my self-directed projects has been to organize the Letratype pictured below.
Courtney and I found this mother lode on one of our scavenging trips last year, and this pile of letter transfer sheets had been sitting in the trunk of my car in a huge, embarrassing, messy pile for weeks longer than it ever should have. I wish I had a "before" picture to share, because the haul's next home was a wild, haystack shaped pile in the middle of our second bedroom before I set about the task of sorting them by font and size (and creating an accompanying inventory spreadsheet).
I love that we now have a lifetime supply of this stuff, though! Each of the sheets is in its original packaging and is perfectly usable. I used some of the lettering to make Christmas cards and to label presents. I've also rubbed some letters on to vintage wallpaper to make thank-you cards.
I'm trying to think of some new projects to make with Letratype. If inspiration strikes, I'll be sure to share. In the meantime, any suggestions or ideas are much appreciated!
