This is what you expect to read for months and I am so happy to finally write it! Today, after one more week than announced, the playing cards arrived! It was a surprise as I called someone yesterday who told me "we do not know where they are"... So today I visit my grandmother to celebrate her 91st birthday and during dinner, the ring bells... The delivery guy was surprised by my enthusiasm! Some photos.

We celebrate by drinking some champagne.

Such a relief. We have crazy days coming now to do all the packages but at last, it in our hands. All family will be at work and the first package should be sent by Friday.

If you really really want them for Christmas, I mean, really really want, please drop us an email at [email protected] to see what is possible.

Thank you for your support, need to sleep a little now and dream of something else than having the decks delivered...

Shout out : Blue Jay Playing Cards

This is the second deck Meadowlark Playing Cards and I just loved the first one. They re-invent the codes with very contemporary illustrations. Support them!

Thanks again for your support and patience...

In transit !

Never thought a photo of cardboard boxes under plastic can makes me so happy... The transport finally picks up the decks...

This is the message I expect for months... In transit! So all the decks are now in the hands of customs and hope they will do they work quickly. For now, the delivery to me is planned for November 24th. Fingers crossed.

They will be delivered to my grandmother! Yes, it is a family business... She has a large garage on the ground floor of her home. My family has been in winemaking for generations (hey, I am french), so this place is where we store agricultural equipment ... It is the only place large enough to receive all these boxes. Then I'll go get the boxes there and thanks to you I can share a good meal with her. She is 90 and she thanks you for your support too!

The next step will be to bring the decks to my studio, on the second floor, and I think you also taking care of my health as it will be something... I will then prepare all your packages, with help from family too, which should take several days... I organize myself with the delivery service so that packages are sent every day when they are ready until everything is done. Still a little patience, we are so close.

Thanks again

Shout-out: "Subjective Anatomy" Letterpress Art Prints

I met Mylène and Denis some year ago as we have a common letterpress printer friend in... Australia! They're probably the only Letterpress printshop on a boat! They are a family business and I explain how amazing the Kickstarter community is and they should launch a project! And they did it (I could use the same gif here)! 

Check and support here!

So why an update? Because I am so tired of this situation, it is so frustrating to have everything slows down while I so want these decks to be in your hands (and mine). 

For now on I try to do all the other things to have everything ready... I am tired to say this Covid-19 reasons over and over, but I believe this affects very many layers. What should take 1 week take 3, why should take 3 take 9... Images are better than words even you may be tired of teasing you but it's all I can do by now.

Thanks for the amazing support and patience, and please stay safe, happy, and positive. I try to.
