When I say I am seriously jealous of the gang at Hammerpress… I’m not kidding.  The fact that they have 7 letterpresses (3 Vandercooks, 1 Heidelber, 2 Chandler and Price Press and a Kluge) and I don’t even have one… I’m green with envy!  Not to mention that their space is fabulously utilitarian and stylishly [...]

The fabulous Rachel of Wiley Valentine and her husband, Michael of Czar Press (talk about a match made in heaven), welcomed a baby girl last week.  So while Mommy and Piper (how cute is that name), get better acquainted, I’ve had the honor of doing a few guest posts for Wiley Valentine’s fabulous blog… a [...]

Not a day goes by when Waste Not Paper doesn’t make our cash register ring and customer’s sing!  So, when Heather Stege, WNP’s General Manager, agreed to share some behind the scenes footage of their fun and creative office, I was thrilled.  You can see how much Waste Not Paper enjoys what they do and [...]

This past Saturday, I was honored to host the ladies of Haute Papier at the shop for a trunk show.  Knowing both Sarah and Erin are self professed foodies… I’m not sure what possessed me to think I could prepare a brunch for them at my home on Sunday.  But I took a leap of [...]
