Have you been wondering about how to pick up your online order?
During checkout please select “local pickup”. I will drop what I am doing, pull your order and email you that it is ready.
There is a weatherproof box on our front porch for local pick up. Pull into the driveway and you will find a parking spot conveniently located.
As always, let me know if you have ideas to improve this system. Thanks for your support!
A look back at our workshop with @iglooletterpress earlier this year. Big thanks to Allison and John Chapman for inviting us in and showing us the ropes to letterpress.
Participants hand set type with a phrase of their choice and ran it through the press to make a set of cards.
Have a workshop you’d like to see CSCA host in the future or a local business you think we should partner with? Let us know in the comments.
Happy Earth Day, dears! 🌱

Are you a collector of triangles? Do you know a collage artist who would like over 1000 bits of book cloth?
It is so satisfying to see this collection grow as I miter each corner. This removes extra cloth from the corners of these book covers. They are so colorful, I hate to throw them away.

A big thank you to Hopkins Printing for cutting the giant sheets of bookboard in half. Now they fit into the board shear to break down for hardcover books. John and I prepped 300 sets of covers and spines to begin our prep for market season.
We are looking forward to being out and about a bit more than last year. Mark your calendars now for the Strawberry Jam @landgrantbrewing in May and the @columbusbookfestival in July.
Both kids graduate in May so it is shaping up to be a busy spring and summer. We will be joining the Worthington Maker’s Markets on the 1st and 3rd Saturday as scheduling allows. ☀️ 💐 🍓
Planning for a glute workout tomorrow to cut down bookboard. Before I chop it up, do you have any journal hopes and dreams? Would you like a different size book? Feel free to leave a comment below or send a DM. #bookbinding What size journal is your favorite?
What a wonderful birthday trip to @chicagostationeryfest
I loved being able to connect with friends old and new. Sorry I didn’t get more pictures, but I was having too much fun!
1. @collinmakesmagic booth looked amazing and it was great to be able to hang out like the old days. At this point we realized all of the customers in the booth were from Ohio! 😂
2. Loved to see the artwork of the talented @suzyultman in the wild
3. & 4. Always a treat to see @powerandlightpress and @frankiebundles@hello.stephanie and @reddoorpress@ladyfingersletterpress@starshapedpress@penelopespress@midwestephemera@afavoritedesign and all of the other friends who were exhibiting.
Here’s to making year 53 count in all the right ways. My motivation for this year is “Do what you can, where you are, with what you have”. xoxo Allison
Three setups and many prints later, this rainbow still looks clean and bright. Take a look at the top roller moving left to right. If you compare it to older videos, you will see that it is not traveling as far as it used to go. This is thanks to the brilliant mind of @threecheerspress who manufactured a new worm gear for Vandercook presses. Thank you Cory! I love that smart folks are still inventing new things we can do with these presses.
We love the way these Rainbow Worm stationery kits turned out. @collinmakesmagic has done a fantastic job drawing these new designs! Both Collin and Igloo will soon be selling these online.
This Thursday at 6:30 PM! Don’t miss it.
