fifth annual stationery store day!

The Fifth Annual Stationery Store Day is happening August 1st. As always, we’ll be spending the day celebrating all things stationery in our little shop. If you aren't aware, Stationery Store Day is magical. Seriously. Worldwide Stationery Shops host events, offer special merchandise, stock up on new amazing finds and create the most amazing experiences just for the day. Plus, stores in the same city or area often collaborate with one another, like we are in Chicago. It's a paper lover's dream.

This year we'll be offering letterpress demos with a printing press set up for you to print a Stationery Store Day keepsake. That's right! Pull a print on our antique press. Plus, free goodie bags for the first TEN customers, a free postcard with every purchase (while supplies last), free sticker with $50 purchase (while supplies last), free tote with $100 purchase (while supplies last). We'll also have a raffle. Like previous years, we'll have official Stationery Store Day merchandise for sale, including die cut stickers, sticker sheets, letter sets, jotter notebooks, stickers books, composition books, several washi tape designs, postcards and totes, all available while supplies last. I'm also creating Chicagoland Stationery Store Day stickers! Very exciting.

We've been working with other amazing shops to create a Chicagoland Stationery Passport for the day. The more shops you visit, the more chances you get to score cute merch. Here's a list of all the Chicagoland shops participating.
