Welcome to Preserve Cottage
Currently there are no First Class Packages going to AUSTRALIA or NEW ZEALAND from the United States. Because we have to go through each listing individually to take that out of the shipping options, it is going to take me awhile. So please don't buy things for shipment there. We hope this gets resolved quickly and apologize for any current inconvenience.
Thanks!
To find specific letters of the alphabet search in the shop search box. It doesn't work well for the letter A. Use AAAA.
Note that each letterpress listing specifies the size.
International shipping: We are happy to ship anywhere. However, some of our items do not show the international shipping because the calculation of the cost would be so far off. Just let me know what you are interested in and where you are located, and I will get back to you with a shipping quote.
Because each of our treasures has a different weight the combined shipping may be off a little. We are happy to straighten this out. The simplest way we do this is to refund shipping overages over $1.00 to you.

Sorting what we get is a big job, but also a lot like opening presents. -

The spring view from where I sit to clean type and make listings...happy to deal in treasures from a lovely spot. -

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words and never stops at all. -

The type when cleaned can really gleam beautifully.
A Passion For Old Treasures
When I was five I inherited my first antique when I got a big double bed from my great-grandparents' estate. It was truly beautiful to me even though the finish was marred and little pieces of wood applique kept falling off.
Together my husband and I have been buying and selling antiques for over 30 years now. We are particularly fond of rescuing letterpress related things. Straight out of college I went to work for a typographic service. My husband grew up in his father's printing business. Our little press, a Kelsey Excelsior, is the first press my Father-in-law purchased as a young man during the Depression.
But we love lots of other lovely things too. So you never know what we might be offering.

When I am not playing with type, you might find me training with a kettlebell. Letterpress is very, very heavy stuff.
