Updates & Information
It's National Card & Letter Writing Month, so we thought we'd share some of our favorite "just because" cards.
Who doesn't love receiving a hand-written card in the mail? So stop in, say hello, and pick up a few to send to your favorite people. And as always, keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates (like what's inside this package from our brand new line, Pink Orchid Press. We don't even know yet!)
So excited about these beautiful new photos of the store! Here's a little montage of our favorites:
Stop in today to see our selection of letterpress note cards, foil stamping greeting cards, acrylic bar & bat mitzvah invitation samples, and more!
Elum designs are on the shelves here at The Windmill (although based on how fast they have been flying, they won't be here for long!). Elum offers an assortment of letterpress greeting cards, but we are most excited about the alternative paper items like sticky note cubes, edge painted note bars, fabric-covered journals, and patterned gift bags.
We carry the Big Stack Note Bars in both metallic gold and bright blue. These come in a set of 150 thick unprinted cards, each of which is edge painted. These are great for a pop of color on your desk or phone table!
These Writer's Blocks are 700 sticky notes in a cube, with a hole in the corner to hold a pen or pencil. These cubes are great for an office or desk, and 700 stickies go a long way!
These fabric-covered journals are our most popular item so far! They are 100% wood-free and eco-friendly, and have 120 unprinted pages inside for notes or drawings. They also have a gusseted pocket in the back to keep any loose notes, receipts, or anything else you may want to hold onto.
We absolutely love these gorgeous gift bags. Sturdy and ultra-soft, they are like no other gift bag you have held before - you have to see them in person to believe it. Stop in soon to see these amazing items and pick up your favorites before they're gone!
Ogami notebooks arrived today! These luxurious notebooks are made of limestone, so in addition to being tree-free, they're totally waterproof and incredibly soft. Available in white, gray, black, and teal, the minimalist Italian design is perfect for the style-concious professional.

Why do we love letterpress? So glad you asked! Letterpress is, in our opinion, the most luxurious artisanal printing method, offering a textural and extremely sophisticated look. It is a relief printing method, where the raised surface of a metal or polymer plate is inked and then hand-pressed - not onto, but into - a thick sheet of cotton or bamboo paper, leaving rich color and a deep impression. Letterpress cards will make a serious impression (ha!) on anyone you send them to. Check. This. Out.
While letterpress is the oldest type of printing, dating back to the 15th century where letters were set in place by hand, modern innovations have made the possibilities with the printing method almost endless. At The Windmill, we specialize in letterpress printing. We carry six of the top custom letterpress stationery lines in the country, and most of our preprinted products are letterpress as well.
All of these designs are available to customize at The Windmill. Letterpress printing still not your thing? We also offer digital, offset, engraving, foil-stamping, embossing, and more.
Call, email, make an appointment, or just stop in when we're open to discuss your next project. You dream it, we'll create it!
