A Whole New Milkmaid Press
Things are looking different with Milkmaid Press! I decided that I wanted to streamline the site and make everything easier, on myself and on everyone else! I changed the logo a bit, despite my love for the original illustration I did, I wanted something a little closer to my heart. And what is closer to my heart than my darling kitten? So Gracie is now representin' me in all my Milkmaid Press branding-as a kitten drinking milk-which is fitting for Milkmaid Press, and the fact that Gracie has an insatiable appetite. Look for a lot of new things this year, including the launch of a Cotton line of stationery at the same price point as Pearl! Some of the most popular letterpress designs migrated over to Cotton, including Carnival, Frontier Garden and Caribbean Palm as well as some brand new designs!
I'm going to give one lucky reader 25 FREE Thank You Cards of your choice so email me or leave comments and tell me what your favorite design is and why! Don't forget to include your name and email address.
The Winner will be announced next Wednesday.
Head on over to the site and tell me what you think!

Yay! It looks great!
My favorite is the Carnival style. It has the right mix of simple, modern, and fun!
As I am a huge fan of polka dots, my favorite is the American Splendor.
Your site looks fantastic!!!
I love many of your designs (Frontier Garden, Je T'Amie to name a couple) but my favorite that would match my wedding best is the American Splendor. Plus yellow is my favorite color...
I love chinoiserie. It looks so delicate, old-world, and modern all at the same time.
Ohhh... I would do the Je T'aime Thank You in glacier. Or the American Splendor...They're all so fun, though.
I can't decide which one I love more... the Migration is so peaceful and beautiful, but the American Splendor is so pretty and fresh!
We just received our Pearl line invites (the dragonfly design), and we are crazy about them. They are so beautiful, so precise, and I'm excited to see that you have the new cotton line as well now. We'd love to be able to thank our guests with some more of your lovely cards!
My current favorites are (your newest I think) Aquarelle and Kaleidoscope, with Aquarelle the leader. But they are all so lovely.
I think the Modern Nature is adorable, but ultimately I would have to pick the Modern Lotus - I love the color combinations and the minimally gorgeous design.

Chinoiserie made my heart do a little thump-thump. I wish my whole world looked like that!
My verification word is PRESS! I hope that's a good sign!
i LOVE chinoiserie. so pretty!
Your designs are really gorgeous! I love Kaleidoscope, but my favorite is American Splendor. I just can't get enough polka dots.

I like the yellow dots. So colorful, yet simple!
I love the Aquarelle collection. So beautiful.

Like the site!
I also like Playful Nature- the owl is so adorable.
I love frontier garden - it's got great character!
I like playful nature... that little blue owl made my heart skip a beat!
You have awesome stationary! It was hard to pick my favorite, but I have to go with the Caribbean Palm design from your Cotton collection. I adore this design because it really personifies my laid back lifestyle and personality.
I love the set with the silhouettes! It's such a cool trend that I'm loving right now.
The new site looks fabulous! Enter me, please!

They are all beautiful, but I am really loving Migration!
Looks great! Thanks for the giveaway!
The Savannah looks amazing!!! My favorite by far.
Modern Lotus is absolutely beautiful. So chic and clean. I love it!
I love Woodland Snow - it just looks so clean and simple.
Wow! It is so hard to choose just one. I went back and forth between Migration, Carnival and American Splendor (with Je T'Amie and Chinoiserie in there too) for awhile!
Ultimately I think American Splendor would fit in beautifully with our wedding motif. It's vintage but still has enough of a contemporary edge to feel young and vibrant. BEAUTIFUL work!
I like the kaleidoscope in cool blue! Wonderful colors and a unique airy design.
love the carnival design! (and all the others for that matter) :)

They look amazing! Congrats!!
There is so much to like! I think the Savannah design is my favorite for the moment.
Oh man, it's hard to decide. I love so many, but I think the Urban Prairie is my favorite.
When I was clicking through each design, they just kept getting better and better! But the one that really made me stop short was Kaleidoscope. The design reminded me of festive and fun fireworks-- and really, is there anything more lovely than that?
Playful nature is my vote! The thin lines bring out a sweet and delicate feature, highlighted by the bright colors. Bold, but not overwhelming. I love the curves of the chubby hearts too! Great collection :) :)
i love the new website and all of your stationary! my favorites are kaleidoscope-- the colors remind me of the perfect sunset from trip my fiance and i took to santa fe. i also love migration because we both grew up at the beach and have missed the salty air and sounds of seagulls since moving to austin.
American Splendor is my favorite! It matches my wedding colors perfectly and are great!!
I absolutely adore "Dragonfly" from the pearl collection because it combines beautiful botanical imagery so tastefully.
All of your designs are spectacular!
I love the American Splendor collection. It's so classic yet fresh and young. The pale yellow color is absolutely gorgeous. I especially love the font and think it looks great on the thank you card.
It was a tough choice between Urban Prairie and Kaleidoscope, but I have to go with Urban Prairie! They are just adorable. I like them because they are so unexpected. Most people think of grey as a blase color, but I love that you are not afraid to use it! I'm actually thinking about having it the main color of my wedding. :)
I love how you gave it a sweet and vibrant twist with the vibrant yellow & the eyelet/lace look paisley flower is unexpected. It has just the right touch! It looks like something you would see in the at Anthropologie!
Love the new logo as well!
Congrats on the new site and logo! I'm a fan, so it's hard to pick a favorite -- but I love Modern Lotus (for its clean lines and simple grace) and Aquarelle (which is so chic and fabulous, and has such beautiful detail in the watercolors).
Love the new site!! Congrats! Such a hard decision but I love polka dots so I've got to go with the American Splendor. Pink polka dots and navy font matches my wedding theme perfectly - what a nice touch this would add! So fresh and fun!
Chinoiserie is by far my favorite. I love regular chinoiserie patterns but sometimes it can feel a little stuffy. The modern interpretation of it is perfect!
I love the American Splendor with the soft yellow dots. Too cute and so perfect for our theme/colors :)
It's almost impossible to choose, there are so many stunning ones. However Je T'aime in glacier matches our wedding perfectly with the silhouette cameos.
I love Frontier Garden. Beautiful!
I adore the Kalidescope. While I've already sent my invites, this would be a perfect way to say thank you to all of our guests!!
i just love chinoiserie. I love all things floral, so can't get enough of that design.
I love the carnival ones. Bright red brings such a fun, bold vibe to a wedding!
I love the Migration; makes me think of ending the single life and moving into the married life. . .permanently.

I love the flock of birds style! It conjures up images of the ocean (the birdies could be seagulls!).
Migration is awesome--so serene!
I love Carnival.
I love the playful nature set. The colors are so vibrant!
The website looks great!
If I had to pick a favorite (which is a tough choice, I assure you), it would have to be Frontier Garden. I really like how you gave the stationary a vintage feel, but doesn't look dated at all. It is actually very playful :).
I love the Playful Nature style. It's just so whimsical and lovely! And the owl is pretty cool too. (zoeportman@gmail.com)

I am enchanted.

Your kaleidoscope collection is SO FANTASTIC! It's exactly the energy and beautiful vibrancy we want to be surrounded with at our wedding celebration. I'm so glad Snippet & Ink sent me here :-)
Our wedding will be in South Carolina, so the Caribbean Palm style would be such a cute way to thank our guests for flying out here for us!
These are all fabulous but the Kaleidoscope is my absolute favorite. The design is not unlike a huge bouquet of gorgeous flowers bursting in your face and reminds me of my first time in Paris when all the gardens were in bloom. So beautiful!! Also the colors are modern, tasteful and more importantly joyous - what more could I want in a thank you card?
American Splendor for it's pure simplicity and understated beauty. And letterpress would show off the design splendidly. Great site, great work.
Frontier Garden is my vote for the most fantastic of all designs. Oddly enough it reminds me of the Baz Lhurman remake of Romeo and Juliett and the sinage around his Verona...the truest of all love stories! These would be perfect for my literature inspired wedding...hmmm ;)

I love Jaipur, it's beautiful! Plus blue and brown are my colors. :)
American Splendor is simply splendid!!!
hello hello!
i am in LOVE with the American Splendor
{ and the wording on the thank you is freaking adorable }
great job!!!

Kaleidoscope is fantastic. The design and composition feel fresh and modern but the colors have a vintage vibe. I always gravitate towards autumnal hues, so the "warm sunshine" choice is especially appealing to me.
I love Carnival. I think it would look great in navy.
Your dragonfly collection will always be my favorite. So fresh and springy! Perfect for my garden wedding.
I love the carnival design! Very fresh and fun!!
hi kristen! my favorite is the carnival...it definitely coordinates with the invites we've already ordered, is a little bit feminine but not TOO feminine, and of course has rosewood, my favorite :)
Je' Tamie - is BY FAR my fave!
Me too - I love the Je Tamie collection so elegant
Carnival and Je Tamie are my favorites - although ALL of your work is splendid.
Fronterier garden - elegant and fun - without being over done! (Ironically - that rhymed :)
I love the American Splendor the most, but they are all beautiful
ooh I love Carribean Palm, it matches so beautifully with my wedding colors and I can use the thank you cards to send notes to everyone who sent presents!
I can't decide between the Urban Prarie and the Kaleidescope. Both absolutely beautiful, and would fit in with my overall design. I'm planning a fall wedding and I'm shooting for the vintage-rustic-chic look. The Kaleidescope fits my colors pretty well, but I love the design of the paisley lace on the Urban Prarie (if only in chocolate brown and cream, perhaps). All very beautiful, though.
I really like the Woodland Snow design. It's simple and not too fussy and has a nice earthiness.

I LOVE migration. Probably because I'm obsessed with birds, though. But migration is great because it is simple, clean and no-fuss.

I love the Folk Art Floral Paisley because it is my favorite summer color Yellow! It's also very pretty with out being too girly!

Carnival is amazing! Would perfect for our laid back festival inspired wedding next spring!
I love Cabaret and Urban Prarie. I wouldn't be able to choose!
I love American Splendor and Carnival. Thank you for the give away!
I think Keleidoscope is a breath of fresh air! It is gorgeous and modern!
OH MY GOSH!!! I love love love the Magnolia cards! It fits my wedding. I am having a woodsy wedding. Also I am from Mississippi and the Magnolia is our state flower.
I love the Je T'aime design. The vintage romantic feel appeals to this antique/Jane Austen lover! Gorgeous!
