New School Fools

Old School Stationers

OMG. Thank u so much 4 the totes adorb b-day pres. Aside from the dram, the party was gr8! TTYL, QT.

If the above statement looks like hieroglyphics, you’re old school.

And you’ve nothing to be ashamed of. Old School Stationers still uses a 1917 model letterpress to crank out whimsical cards and wall prints. The hubby and wife designers hand-draw and color-separate the images, then print them one at a time on thick letterpress paper from Milan.

Choose from a slew of designs: Stems and Flowers, Leaves and Trees, Camping Circa 1960s, Creature Features (octopi, rabbits, fish), Bird Is the Word, Tweet Sentiments (birds saying things like, “I think about you all day long”), Animal Portraits, and Winter Holiday.

Pretty awes, huh?

Available at Hazel, 1902 West Montrose Avenue, at Wolcott Avenue (773-769-2227 or store.hazelchicago.com). For more information, go to oldschoolstationers.com.
