Cards and More

Taking a little time to jot a note to a friend is one of life’s great, underrated pleasures, and it can be all the better when you find just the right image to share.

We enjoy tracking down lovely cards, and find them in all sorts of byways and corners of the art world. Some come from artists working on their own and signing each print themselves; others from a small hand press on the coast of Maine, where archaic, non-computerized methods still rule.

The subjects are as wide-ranging as the producers. From popular artists such as Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden to surprising and delightful visions of the local area; from quiet, intimate scenes to exuberant celebrations; from typographical formality to lyrical displays of delightful, rhapsodic spontaneity.

Next time you’re ready to share a thought, stop in to find a card that matches your mood – our selection is constantly changing! (Click here for hours and directions to the shop.)

And that’s not all you’ll find around the shop. We make badges, offer prints from old books (they’re in such poor shape that the books themselves would have to be scrapped) and carry a lovely line of wrapping paper from Curwen press designs.

And that’s not even counting the bits and bobs around the shop; the framed prints; the oddments we sometimes come across.

Or the scrapbooks we fill with old articles, reviews and images we come across, for customers to browse.

Or, indeed, the beautiful range of Christmas cards and calendars that add a holiday sparkle to the shop.
