Laughing Elephant

Company Description:

It's our debut at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, and we're thrilled to be here! Laughing Elephant specializes in blending the charm of classic illustrations and vintage ephemera with modern design, creating an array of nostalgic whimsical products, including greeting cards, stationery, postcards, stickers, journals, art prints, and more!

We take immense pride in faithfully reproducing the works of renowned children's book illustrators, accomplished commercial artists, and fine artists like Jessie Willcox Smith, Arthur Rackham, Alphonse Mucha, Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, and Erté.

Our journey began in 1993, building on the foundation laid by Green Tiger Press, established in 1969 by Sandra and the late Harold Darling in San Diego, California. Today, we're a small, family-run business based in Seattle, led into the next generation by Chev Darling, their son. Our cozy workspace in the Fremont neighborhood is where we create the majority of our products, drawing inspiration from Sandra and Harold's extensive collections of vintage books and ephemera, numbering in the tens of thousands!

Supported by our dedicated team, including two Darlings and cherished friends, we're committed to delivering top-notch customer service! Many of our customers, whether retail or wholesale, have become like family to us, adding an extra layer of warmth and significance to our journey as a small, local, family business.

For you flower and gardening enthusiasts, we've curated a marvelous collection of flower and plant illustrations from classic children's books, vintage advertisements, turn-of-the-century seed and plant catalogs, enchanting fairy flower artworks, exquisite fine art, and more. We can't wait to share this botanical treasure trove with you!
