Feeling Nutty

Pistachio Press Stationery

Sometimes it seems like old-fashioned letter writing is going the way of the dinosaur.

You fire off boring emails and whip out cryptic text messages, but the soul is gone.

Bring the flavor back to your correspondence with Pistachio Press.

The itty-bitty business creates quality note cards with retro designs. Each card is printed on antique letterpress. Rather than with lead type and woodblocks, designs are done on a computer, printing from photopolymer plates to include modern typefaces.

Styles are anything but ordinary, with themes of storytelling and memory. Favorites include eyelet lace embossed on creamy paper, an old-fashioned woman walking two dogs, and a kangaroo sporting a party hat. Custom stationery, wedding invitations, and business cards are also available.

Like the sound of it?

Just be sure to get it in writing.
