OUR NATURE INSPIRED PATH

The boutique's nature-inspired minimalism reflects the philosophy of Sharon Kopko, the artist behind it all who enjoys the simple things in life -- tiny moments such as the effortless whimsy of abaca, cotton and kozo fibers swirling around in a vat just before being formed into one of her perfectly imperfect papers.

PRESSED offers the highest quality letterpress and digital printing services for your stationery needs. Take your stationery designs to another artistic level with some gorgeous, 3-d letterpress.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

I’m so glad I was able to use Pressed handmade paper in a recent editorial. Sharon’s skill and passion are evident in her products which are so special in their handmade quality, yet consistent in size and character. The texture of the tissue paper was exceptionally beautiful as are the feathery edges. Sharon offers a wonderful range of colors and sizes in her papers which can be hard to find. I greatly appreciated her cheerful spirit and willingness to work with me on the production time when a deadline approached. I would happily recommend Pressed to any stationer, calligrapher, or paper lover!

Sharon at Pressed did such an amazing job with a custom color order for our client! The color was a perfect match, she was able to meet our tight timeline and she was such a joy to work with through the process! Our client was thrilled with the quality of the paper - it was so soft! The paper added the perfect touch of organic feel to the suite to really round it out. We'll definitely be on the lookout for more ways to incorporate this gorgeous paper in our suites!

- Kimberly Domino | A Fabulous Fete

 

The paper is absolutely stunning. The texture is so beautiful, the colors are lovely, and the deckled edges are so fluffy and gorgeous.  I love the beautiful, soft, organic colors that the paper is available in, and I also love the texture. It feels so natural, but is also smooth and not too fibrous. The edges are beautiful, as well - it's very clear that each sheet is made by hand instead of being torn, which I love!  I very much look forward to working with you in the future!

They're lovely! So beautiful!! Beautiful tones and textures!  Better than expected.  Great attention to detail. Kind, prompt replies!  You are beyond amazing Sharon!!

When your three year old walks in and says “oh, I love your work, mom” you let her help. She jumped right in and started styling. Changed everything I had done and told me when to take the photos. Creativity must be in her blood 😉 . . Our Summer Box was bursting with happy colors and fun new textures. I’ll share the pieces today in our stories so keep your eyes peeled.
We have a really big family. My mom is the youngest of seven! That’s a lot of cousins (and 2nd cousins and spouses and so on). We all live in various cities around the country so it’s rare we are all in the same place at one time. Thank goodness for social media. Weddings are one of the rare occasions where we all gather. Several years ago, at one of my cousin’s weddings, we reached the end of the ceremony and the minister announced “you may now kiss the bride” and they did. It was clearly a good kiss because I’m the middle of it my grandpa shouted out “JUICY”! It was hilarious and still just as funny when we apply “juicy” to every day conversations. Like the apricot reference you’ll see in my mom’s live video today! Do you all have any juicy (PG rated) family stories that still crack you up? 😂 . . I think the juicy pear is styling genius! Serious talent pictured here @carpe.diem.design @christinegosch @janelleingram @adornedrentals @lazywoodlane @niyamodels @jacquelinevare @magnoliarouge
Hi, everyone! Jaimi here 🙋🏻‍♀️. You’ll be hearing from me some while my mom is off gallivanting across Europe. A trip and break well deserved! Don’t worry we are so similar that you’ll probably forget it’s me. Does anyone feel like they are slowly turning into their parents? Well, I’ve basically been an exact replica of my mom since forever but the older I get, the more I sense the transformation is nearing completion. The biggest differences are that I live in the Tennessee mountains with my amazing husband and babies. And I spend most of my days running after the two littles. Our love for beautiful, handmade pieces, our family, and chocolate are the same. What an honor it is to be her mini! . .

And we’re off! The four of us plus my youngest daughter, Emma, are on our way to Europe. When Emma decided to study abroad, we decided she would need help moving in....which would probably take a few weeks 🤷🏻‍♀️ Can you blame us? Follow along as I share this exciting adventure with you all 🗺
This week, my son sent me one of those video collages your phone makes for you. You know, “the best of the year” or “best of the month” compilations from your camera roll set to gentle or uplifting music. Yep, I teared up halfway through. Of course, I had seen these photos before but the way they are arranged, zoomed in on, and slowed down forces you to really look at them and remember that moment. Well done, Apple. Well done 👏🏼. It was such a great reminder to me to slow down and look at moments with a more appreciative and grateful eye. Life is so good and beautiful. Enjoy the simple moments and details. I plan to do just this on our vacay (counting down the hours)!

It’s the final countdown....yes, that’s my theme song this week and you know I’m dancing around the studio to it! Just a few more orders to finish up before we are off. Check a few posts back to see where we’re heading. I’m all about letting loose in my workspace. I worked too long in a serious environment not to loosen up now. Plus, I’m not working for the weekend. I love what I do and want to celebrate it each day. So today I’m playing a fun playlist and being inspired by you all (like this beautiful illustration by @estherclarkco!) to push through the last few days of work. Feel free to share your favorite pump up music so I can add it to my playlist!
