We were thrilled to have the very special honor of hosting our niece Veronica’s pre-K class from PS 10 last week for a special in-store field trip. We all learned about stationery and cards and invitations. All of the kids and parents got to make very special Valentines with great sparkly papers, old fashioned doilies, hole punches and scissors. We all had a grand time!

This invitation suite featuring double happiness in a contemporary layout is a great mix of Asian culture with modern letterpress sensibilities.
