paper stories’ chandler & price letterpress

Last Friday, I made a field trip up to Grayslake to check out Paper Stories new studio & retail space. Located at Prairie Crossing’s Shops at Station Square, it’s a bright + cheery spot. Owner Kelly Maron gave me a tour of it all.

The new space, which Kelly shares with Tami Rasmussen of tam tam, has a spot for classes. Visit the website to download the July/August schedule (pdf). The options range from cardmaking to bookbinding to my favorite, a party kit making class where you make a banner + party hats + favor bags. Cute idea.

The retail space has a nice selection of letterpress cards + accoutrements, as well as custom books to order invitations and announcements.

My favorite has to be the fun notebooks Kelly makes from old board games.

Thanks, Kelly, for a delightful visit! I look forward to returning soon, as it’s about two minutes away from the soccer fields. For more pictures from my field trip, visit my flickr set. And if you’re in the Chicago area, stop by Paper Stories and say hello.
