We've been a bit. . .

. . . low key for a couple of months; not to say we haven't been busy! Our attention has focused on two areas: website and incoming inventory. On the website, existing Pages — Individual Items — Letterpress Type — Swamp Press Type -- have been fine-tuned, better organized and more detail. And several new Pages have been added — Wood Type -- Full Case Fonts -- Market Place Things - take a minute to check them out, see what’s just been added.
From late November on several new type consignments have come in and two small press-shop purchases have been completed. Processing all this "new" stuff — logging items into inventory, pricing, sorting and putting things out on the tables and counters — takes time and energy. The short day light hours, the teeth-chattering low early a.m. temps and the frozen precipitation every week or so just isn't conducive to hours of physical effort despite having some heat now in the Store, [That's why the website has been expanded and is up-to-date, it's warm in the office!]
If you'd like to see for yourself all the letterpress "things" posted on the various website Pages - as well as hundreds of other fonts, tools, supplies, etc. come on by this Saturday, February 19th - 9 am to 3 pm. Weather for the day is looking good. So combat cabin fever. . . take a road trip and enjoy being immersed in things letterpress for a few hours! We’d enjoy seeing you. . .
