We’re fans of all things Alabama (and all things barbecue, for that matter)—so we were thrilled to get to collaborate with the Alabama Tourism Department to create this poster commemorating The Year of Alabama Barbecue.

To make these special posters we went old-school, cutting out the letterpress plate by hand and then letterpressing it on our 1907 Miehle.

To see some footage of our fearless leader, Daniel Mims, hand-feeding the posters into the press, click here. And to grab one of these posters for yourself or a barbecue-loving friend, visit C&P Mercantile online or come by the shop!

and at Cotton & Pine we can’t wait to kick off the holiday season, so we’re excited to announce our Holiday Open House! Be sure and stop by the shop on Thursday, December 4 between 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. We’ll be releasing our line of ready-made holiday cards, hot off the letterpress machine, taking orders for personalized christmas cards—and serving hot apple cider!

We’re super excited about our new personalizable christmas cards and we can’t wait to show them off, so here’s a sneak peek.

If you would like to place an order for some personalized family christmas cards, come by and see us at the Holiday Open House or give us a call (334.271.6879) or email (info@cottonpine.com)!

Sincerely,

Throughout all of these projects Chase has tried to stay true to one goal: to capture and document authentic moments. In a world where video is more often than not scripted and artificial, Chase is committed to preserving authenticity.

Whether that means creating a clean, commercial scene or capturing the feel of a natural setting, Chase ultimately aims to craft something that engages and connects with the viewer and communicates a compelling story.

At Cotton & Pine we would love to help tell your story—for more information contact us here or call us at 334-271-6879.

And we believe that creativity and craftsmanship should be cultivated, celebrated, and above all, shared.

So we created our in-house retail space, C&P Mercantile, to do just that. We wanted a space where we could easily share our work, in a convenient ready-made format—but also where we could share with our customers and clients some artisan goods that we love, made by excellent Southern craftsmen.

And because we are so passionate about this, we’ve made it even easier to shop C&P Mercantile, with our online store—www.CPMercantile.com!

We think that old-fashioned quality craftsmanship is far too scarce these days, so we want to celebrate artisans who love what they do, take pride in what they make, and believe that creating the highest quality products from the best materials available is well worth the extra effort, time, and care.

C&P Mercantile is our way of celebrating fine craftsmanship and good old Southern creativity—and of sharing it with you.

So please stop by the shop or visit C&P Mercantile online at www.CPMercantile.com, to discover some handmade 100% Southern treasures.
