This was such a cute event, and the ornaments were reasonably priced. I love how they featured local artists at this event, so that we were able to interact with them and create a one-of-a-kind ornament together. Service was great-- the shop had such a friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend that you stop by at least to browse, but try to attend one of their events as well!

Perfect opportunity to pick up a last minute gift and grab a locally made card. It was the coolest idea and brought people into Type High. I loved their prints and picked up a few cards and posters on the trip. The space is on Railroad St. Between Rohrbach's and the Public Market. You'll see a small sign on the door and go up a flight of stairs that leads into the studio. It's filled with all the cool letterpress stamps and tons of their prints were hanging on the wall and boxes filled with different themes cards, everything from happy birthday to babies and anniversary cards. Lots of quippy imagery and sayings, like "Happy F*cking Whatever!" We have a ton of awesome letterpress studios in ROC so it's cool to see the variety between the different spaces. Cards were $4 and posters were $18.

Without a doubt would recommend her services to anyone looking for letterpress work.

I cannot rave enough about working with Amy and the gorgeous letterpress wedding invitations she…read morecreated for us. We started off thinking we didn't care too much about the invitations--because we thought (incorrectly), who remembers an invitation? But once we started looking, we decided that we didn't want something out-of-the-box and boring. Amy created a gorgeous invitation suite and customized it further with a little art we requested. And she did these gorgeous letterpress invitations better price than the boring, digitally printed generic stuff we saw at invitation stores. When we received our invitations, I didn't want to take them out of the gorgeous boxes she packed them in--her packaging alone was Pinterest worthy! I would hire her just to wrap holiday gifts if I could, it was that lovely. But alas, we opened the boxes, assembled the invitation suites and mailed everything out. And the rave reviews are POURING in. I never expected it, but we are getting emails and phone calls from loads of friends and family telling us how our invitations are the best they've ever seen. Amy is a pleasure to work with. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

I love their concept and their mission and have been a long-time customer because of it. OWG is my go-to for unique Xmas tree ornaments, for great gift ideas and stocking stuffers, and for one-of-a-kind crafts. I have purchased a lot of jewelry from here over the years, as well as clothing, and I love interacting with the staff and hearing stories about the things they are selling and the people and communities they work with. If you like the idea of seeing your retail dollars go to a place that has a true positive impact on the local community, as well as supporting those in other parts of the world, I highly recommend this place.

I dropped off three tube feeders during the week and got a call over the weekend to pick them up. The service is free, but they take donations for Wild Wings (excellent non-profit in Mendon Ponds Park that cares for animals who are too injured to live in the wild). The Bird House does have a wide range of bird seed and feeders, but there are plenty of gifts, games, and decor to keep you browsing for a while. They have birding and garden books, binoculars, and jewelry. My father-in-law is outdoorsy, so we put together a gift basket of some hand tools, a bird seed scoop, and some squirrel repellent items (all natural!) I also saw that they do a free puzzle swap on occasion. If you like gardening or birding (or know someone who does) this is a great place to check out.

I've picked up beautiful cards - I love their watercolor ones. While pricier than the average card, they're one of a kind so you're getting something special, making it extra sentimental for that occasion. Their shop features some gift items as well like their watercolor clutches and silk scarves - both beautiful! Also mini calendars and prints. Andrea's watercolors are beyond words. I have a print that I was gifted and my boyfriend has purchased a few pieces for his house. The shop is also their workspace. They do amazing designs for baby showers, wedding invitations, and everything in between. It definitely goes beyond my creative abilities so you know they'll be able to create something just right for you and they're timeless. The display they have for "inspiration" is mind blowing. I can't wait to use them for that down the road.
