Christy Etheredge, Dinglewood Design & Press

Today, I'm happy to introduce you to a gal I recently cold-called (ha!). After hearing several folks mention her business, I had to find out who this chick was- so off I went, camera in tow. After driving in circles for what seemed like 20 minutes, I found Dinglewood Design & Press tucked away in an unassuming little corner of midtown.


This awesome little operation is run by Christy Etheredge, her two employees (Anna and Lauren) and their mascot, Mulligan, who they call head of security. Never mind the fact that he's the size of a coffee mug...he's vicious, ferocious, and completely adorable. The four of them were seemingly chill-maybe it's because I was there. Then again, I popped in without warning, so I think they're actually that cool under pressure. I appreciated the ten second tour, as they were busy answering e-mails, designing crazy cool designs on paper, and shipping them out all over the world. Before I left, they had carefully packed two boxes- one was off to Paris (France, not Texas) and the other was addressed to Australia. WHAT?! I know! If that doesn't encourage you to chase your dream, I don't know what will. Three ladies, a little over 250 sq. feet, two gorgeous (and old...like older than your great-grandmother) letterpress machines, one pup, and a glamorous list of repeat customers...making it work in Columbus, GA. Sounds good, right? Here's an example of what these girls are up to...isn't this great? I love it.


Here's a peek at their process. 









Aren't these coasters so cute?! The girls would like to offer you a free set of their pre-printed, packaged coasters with the purchase of any custom order, with coupon code HOUSEWIFE. This offer is good through October 31, 2014. Options include:

Cheers and Polka Dots coasters (available in gold, black, or pink)

If you place an order via Etsy, make sure to type the coupon code and indicate your coaster choice in the "notes to seller" box. (i.e. coupon code HOUSEWIFE - Anchor coasters in Teal)


Dinglewood Design & Press is by appointment only, but you can find them on Etsy or facebook. Tell them I sent you! Happy shopping and press on...pun intended.
