Look at me teaching the youth about letterpress printing 🥹

I’ve been writing hand written thank you notes for over 10 years. When I went independent 6 years ago, I changed the stationary to letterpress type and I love it. Staying consistent with this has proven to be valuable over the years. Pay no mind to my penmanship. It’s total crap,…
