So me and my man celebrated 2 years together on Tuesday and while on the hunt for a card I stumbled across this gem of a print in Magma (a great little design shop in Covent Garden [8 Earlham Street]) - a wonderfully simple antidote to the usual anniversary/valentine cards replete with pink glittery hearts, butterflies and/or lovebirds. It was hand-printed by San-Franciso based company Yellow Owl Workshop, who produce limited edition paper goods using recycled paper and non-toxic inks (They have a blog that's worth a look). I love the raw imperfect quality of the print, as well as the audacious simplicity of the use of colour; for me a much more honest and touching representation of love than a glossy pink heart...
