5 out of 5 starsI wanted a special, but not too expensive gift for some friends. These books were beautiful and just what I was looking for. My friends who got them LOVED them and were thrilled at having a handmade piece. Great all around experience and I highly recommend this shop. :)

My 8 x 12 Chandler and Price. I named her Babbie after my grandmother who inspired my creativity.
Downtown Writing & Letterpress
I've always loved words and typography.
My supervising teacher once told me that I "had a calm about me." Whether or not that was true didn't matter. I believed her and carried her words close to my heart. I lived into them.
When I started my shop, I wanted to create cards and prints that matter to people-- that might even change their lives.
I only make 5-10 cards or prints at a time, which means you won't see them everywhere. I cut, print, score, and fold each card one at a time before placing in a cello envelope to ship.
My presses include an 8x12 C&P, a Line O'Scribe, and a small Golding Pearl. I print using wood and metal type and polymer plates designed in Adobe Illustrator. My introverted self loves spending time in the shop, getting my hands covered in ink, and finding ways to tell stories in print.
If you have a favorite quote or phrase, I might be able to do some custom work for you. Message me with questions, and we'll see if we can work it out.
I love being able to use vintage equipment to keep the art of letterpress alive. And I believe customer service is the most important quality I can offer those of you who support small shops like mine.

I am a printer. I love being alone, Golden Retrievers, bourbon and walks along the beach. I design, print and cut each card myself, mailing your package the day after you order. All profits go to Mental Health America of #fxbg. Thanks!

Custom and personalized orders
Custom orders are priced on the number of words and type of material used. For example, a 5x7 printed on thick, cotton paper is usually $35 for a short quote. I need one to two weeks to work on custom orders.
