A purveyor of fine letterpress greeting cards, vintage finds, and stationery type products in the Albany Park neighborhood. Our main focus is to create a community letterpress space and sharing our love of snail mail. History

In 2018 we moved to our new home at 4432 N. Kedzie in the Albany Park neighborhood. This allows us to offer community workshops, as well as have a retail area filled with our goods and other letterpress artist goods, vintage finds, and stationery type products. favorite goods are handmade with our small but caring staff & the occasional help (but constant support) from friends & family. Be it old or new, labelmaker, typewriter, computer or printing press, nothing makes Amber happier than creating. We hope to see you soon!

We love Apple Fest! 🍎 I was so busy, these are the only pics I took. Thank you to everyone who shopped with us, visited, let us pet your cute pups, stopped in to tell us how much they love our storefront and those who brought us drinks. Our hearts are full! The weather was perfect, the food delicious and the attendees loved our stationery. Thank you Lincoln Square Ravenswood for hosting the greatest fall event. And so much thanks to my helpers who I couldn’t have done it without OrangeBeautiful Liz Geoffrey Susy Tunis Abraham Tom Favorite Jaime Leffler Leonardi You are the BEST! Back to printing for me, I got some major product to fill.
