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 h

ome 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!

It’s Flag Day! AKA Mr. Favorite’s birthday. Today we’re celebrating the brawn and motivation behind a. favorite design. In case you didn’t know, tom not only shares his amazing last name with me, he’s also part owner of afd. He endlessly supports our business and more importantly, me. His encouragement, creativity and humor keep this girl going. He’s always up for an adventure and never backs down from a challenge. Happy Birthday ! You’re my absolute FAVORITE!

Happy Saturday! It’s another beautiful day in the neighborhood. Don’t be stationary… get stationery.
