College friends and now roommates, C & R are great to work with as they are easygoing and full of fun, quirky ideas. For one, this is happening:
Stay tuned. Lots more to come on this makeover.

Shop Watch: Greer
Greer is one of the most fancy (and adorable) card stores east of the Mississippi. Located in a corner spot in the residential neighborhood of Old Town in Chicago, it truly is the shop around the corner. It’s packed with letterpress cards, hand-illustrated graphics, custom stamps, and desktop knick-knacks. Chandra, the proprietor, and crew are inviting and helpful and share in your paper obsession.
