Holiday Cards and Paper Goods

Holiday cards are a sweet and inexpensive way to let your family know that you are thinking about them every holiday season.  Leaving a special message dedicated to them is always priceless. It may be too late to make the whole family unique handmade cards, but it is not too late to pick up printed holiday gems from Oil and Cotton!

Oil and Cotton is proud to welcome the fun and quirky holiday cards made by 

Squeeze My Hand Letterpress & Custom Design. These wonderfully printed cards are our new favorite gifts around. They are so perfect for saying "Merry Christmas!" to all your loved ones and have a humorous yet classic sensibility. So come and visit us and find the perfect collection of holiday cards for your special people.

Oil and Cotton also carries holiday gift tags made by Lilco Letterpress. Lilly is a design, printmaker, and all around creator. Her projects are created by hand carving linoleum blocks and are hand powered from start to finish.  

Her gift tags would make a great accompaniment to a Lilco Letterpress's prickly pear or agave linocut poster!

Wood Shop

The Wigwam pop up shop was a great hit  last week. The shop was filled with wonderful handmade and vintage curiosities for the community to enjoy.   We want to thank Malina Pearson and Ariel Saldivar for adding a little magic to our Oil and Cotton space.



 But don't forget that the Oil and Cotton's Holiday Mercantile is still going on!!! We reorganized the shop and it looks sharper then ever. So come on down to check out all of our special gifts and creative kits.   

  

While you are here, you will want to take a look at Oil and Cotton's  large array of wooden toys and novelty items from brands such as, Imagination kids and Caden Rose. Wooden toys inspire creativity, imagination, and are eco-friendly. These stacking rainbow puzzles are beautiful sculptures as well as fun toys. This rainbow is made from sustainable harvested wood, AP certified non-toxic paint, and rubbed down with a homemade natural wood polish made from beeswax, jojoba oil, and essential oils. These toys are perfect and safe for little hands! 

This beautiful handmade cherry wooden rattle combines natural textures and sounds. Babies love the smooth feel of this rattle and it is just the right size for their little hands. Wood is naturally anti bacterial so this item is  perfect for safe teething.
