Last Thursday I took some time to stop into the newest shop in town, Inkwell Modern Handmade Boutique & Letterpress Studio. The proprietor Andrea and I were first acquainted through the Letterpress Gang and I’ve had the opportunity to watch from afar as she built this business and shop from the ground up.
Inkwell sells all kinds of wonderful handmade cards, prints, textiles and other goodies - both locally and internationally sourced - but with a definite bias toward letterpress goods and type-heavy motifs (which doesn’t bother me in the least!). I scooped up this Mary Kate McDevitt print, a card for a friend and the free gift with purchase which included a couple of letterpress recipe cards!
If you’re in Halifax, I can’t recommend stopping in to Andrea’s store enough; either to grab a gift for a lucky someone or a treat for yourself. It’s a total gem in the downtown area. Congrats again Andrea!
Here are some snaps from the open house:
