Have you stopped by the quaint Portage Bay shop next to Canal Market? If you haven’t, do yourself a favor and pop into the delightful Dahlia Press stationery store owned by Stephanie Clarke and meet Stephanie and her co-workers Pearl (1912), Ruby (1926) and Emmett (late 50’s, early 60’s) – her letterpress machines.
While there you can pick-up some letterpress cards for yourself or they make the perfect gift. For those with special upcoming events (wedding, shower, 40th Birthday), Dahlia Press will work with you to design the perfect custom invitation.
And if you are interested in learning to make your own letterpress stationary, you are in luck as Stephanie & Emmett host semi-private workshops where participants learn to set type and will take home their own set of custom stationery. Book your evening or weekend workshop by calling or shopping by the shop. Workshops are $75 per person and include your lesson, set of custom stationary and the pleasure of hanging out Stephanie while sipping a glass of wine and enjoying some lite fare.

How refreshing that someone is still supporting “real” invitations instead of e-vites!

I have been buying her wonderful cards for years! A great addition to the neighborhood.
