Olly, olly, oxen free!

Get your stamps out of hiding; there’s a new local designer in the stationery game.

Seek out Olliegraphic for invites, calling cards, note cards, and portraits — all with your tot’s likeness rendered in founder Meg Bartholomy’s cheery, retro style. (She’s inspired by vintage children’s books.)

Simply choose a design from her online shop and have it customized (everything from hair color to clothing). Bartholomy e-mails you a digital file, which you can either print or send to a pro. Want something even more personal? Submit a photo of your kid and have her do an illustration from scratch.

Last one to order is a rotten egg.

Available online at olliegraphic.etsy.com or by e-mail order (olliegraphic@yahoo.com).
