I overheard a customer ask off they sold stamps, which they do if you need to send something right away! I literally saw everything from pens, washi tape, fun witty printed socks, lip balm?! It's a quaint neighborhood shop that I hope stays in business in this age of Amazon. Prices are moderate but fair for the better brands they carry!

The shop itself is tiny but very warm and welcoming inside, just like Susan herself. She sat with me for almost 2(!!) hours, showing me not only wedding invitations, but bar mitzvah and holiday invites that were less expensive and actually more in the style I liked. She was very knowledgeable, patient and extra helpful in telling me all the different options that could be created to make my perfect invite. Susan even suggested that if I wanted little 'bling'(adhesive diamonds) on the invite that I could go to Michael's Arts and Crafts and put them on myself, saving the money the book vendors would charge. Of course, I couldn't decide on what I wanted to order today, but at no time did I feel pressured or rushed to make up my mind. As soon as I can figure out what I want, I will be back to this gem of a store!!

I have the privilege of saying that Kim with Bright Room Studio designed my wedding invitation…read moresuite. I had been procrastinating figuring out the invitations because I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start, but Kim guided me through it bit by bit and made it manageable and fun! Along the way she listened to what I wanted, came up with awesome ideas that I didn't even know I wanted, and moved the process along in a very timely manner. She was prompt and thorough and made sure I was more than happy with everything we had at each step. She also handled the printing, which was great for a busy bride with so many other details to worry about. I think the best thing about Kim is that she is just a genuinely great person. She loves the work she does and takes the time to understand just what you want. She even sent me honeymoon travel tips when she found out we're going to the same country her and her husband went for theirs! I ended up with an invitation suite I'm proud of and that truly reflects my fiance and I and the wedding we are having. I received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved them. I can't recommend Kim highly enough!

I can attest to the fact that the quality of her cards is amazing.

Well, we just received our wedding invitations in the mail! Kim designed and printed them, and we, sincerely, could not be happier! Her quality is the highest available and her attention to detail is so specific and caring, that I never once doubted that I (and my wedding invitations) were in the best of hands. It is such an honor to have had our one-of-a-kind wedding invitations made by such an exquisitely talented artist. AND this review would not be complete without noting how quickly she responded to every email, design note, and question I sent her way. The printing process turnaround was equally as impressive. It took her a mere week to order the plates and print all 175 of our invitations! I have done letter press printing, myself, and therefore, can truly appreciate what a marvel that kind of timing is! If I could give her 6 stars, I would. Austin Press is absolutely wonderful!
