MEET: Amy Graham
Stigler, 38, creative director
and designer of Smock
letterpress stationery, and
mom to Miette, 3; Forester,
5; and Graham, 8.
INSPIRATIONS: “I collect
relics from the past like
19th-century invitations— I
love the tiny imperfections
in hand-engraved work,
and I often look at them
when I'm searching for a
new lettering style. M y
collection also includes my
mother's and grandmother's
wedding invitations.”
HER FAMILY: “Is a joyful,
noisy, wonderful thing. M y
children are always
drawing my attention to
beautiful things I wouldn't
normally notice.”
HER PERSONAL STYLE:
“I classify my look as classic
w ith a vintage edge. I love
pairing one-of-a-kind items
from vintage stores—
especially jewelry, scarves,
and bags— w ith items I
already own.”
STATIONERY IS:
“A thoughtful, meaningful
gesture, especially in an age
of instant communication. I
always send holiday cards,
and often tweak classic
Christmas reds and greens
into shades a little more
off-beat— like coral plus teal.
A touch of gilt, like silver or
gold, makes any combo look
instantly festive.”
