There is just something about letterpress. We are drawn to the hand crafted feel of letter press cards. The weight of history when seeing an actual letterpress machine in person. And the letters! You can carry a small piece of that history around with you. *sigh*

Belt buckle and money clip by Steel Toe Studios. Letterpress necklaces by She’s Crafty Handmade. Available in store.

Our current store feature is fellow TOSA artist Tim Willink of Windmill Woodworks. Tim’s wood shop is located just behind our wallpapered wall. He works with salvaged lumber from fences and barns. Many of the picture frames and birdhouses we have in the store are painted fun bright colors, but our favorite are the ones were the weathered wood is left in its original state. Tim crafts lots of other pieces besides what we have in the shop including benches and case pieces. (He is also known to do custom work if you ask nicely.)
