It was a great card cardstore. They closed their doors 2 weeks ago
Shirt that is currently displayed in store front for St. Patrick's day is blatant culture appropriation. It is a green sugar skull that has the saying "Irish to the Bone" and last time I check St. Patrick's day has nothing to do whatsoever with the Mexican culture and celebration of Dia de los Muertos and the fact that this store is using it to promote a day that is associated with drinking is absolutely disgusting. Dia de los Muertos is a day to remember family members and loved ones who have passed away, so tell me where on earth do you see the association with drinking or being Irish? Do your research before making the ignorant decision to sell a product like this.
Kind of a sad spot but they do have a few gems!
Best shop in Chicago for unique holiday cards
Quaint store, good for wrapping paper and gift cards.
Very expensive, you can get the same stuff from other places for 1/10 of this price
Unique cards and oddities
