week 51

Hey letterpress fans! I hope you're all done with your shopping and wrapping and tipping and card giving and moved on to the celebrating and gathering part of the season. If you need some last minute cards, wrap, gifts or stocking stocking stuffers, we're open today and Christmas Eve for a bit.

afd holiday hours
The holidays really snuck up on me this year. It was odd. I usually buy for the shop in July and August. However, I was struggling with budgeting and tariffs and not knowing from one day to the next what things would cost. Not gonna lie. This year felt as stressful, maybe even more, than 2020 when we were all dealing with COVID and public safety. But, here we are, winding down the year with full hearts. The bright spot to this year was YOU. The stationery community is really the best community and you all showed up for us again and again. We had a record breaking Stationery Store Day, you all came to our letter writing meet ups, showed up to our shows, and even came out on Small Business Saturday during a snowstorm. Thank you. You all are why I keep creating and curating. I'm honored you choose our cards to share in celebrations big and small as well as comfort for others during sickness or dark times. I appreciate each and every one of you and wish you an amazing holiday season! 
I'm gonna keep it short & simple this week. I hope you have have a Blessed Yule and/or a Merry Christmas.
