chicago chicago



hello! long long time, no post. apologies for the lapse! as promised, i'm excited to share some of the letterpress finds that i collected on a recent trip to the windy city. (i went with my best friend to see her idol OPRAH at a live taping at harpo studios!). a couple of my favourite stationery shops on my trip were paper doll and an.je.nu both in the wicker park 'hood.

pictured above are some of my faves among the dozens of cards that i brought back! yep, i went a little letterpress-crazy in chicago...the first couple cards are from a.favorite letterpress, the next one is dee & lala, the one that mixes letterpress and wood is night owl paper goods, and the last three are from the delectable motormouthpress. another favourite which you must check out is pikku for its delightful simple but gorgeous patterns and prints.

other letterpress gems which i brought back can be found amongst these great studios and companies (see below). check them all out! :)
