I found its postage-sized shop and mini inventory very annoying and hardly worth the bother to come to in person--and I LOVE art stores! Its selection of textile supplies could fit in a small basket. The lone employee I saw was friendly. The shop cat was adorable. But I needed more inventory on display! I guess the focus is on online sales with brick and mortar retail an afterthought.

It took nearly two weeks to find out that the style I selected was out of stock. No worries! I had a second choice already picked out and promptly provided the details. It was frustrating that they kept insisting they didn't have everyone's contact information when all parties involved were CC on all emails I sent. It was also alarming to be told Lisa no longer wished to be on our email communications and I was now to work with a different associate. The final slight came when due to my original choice being out of stock and some back and forth on the written details - I was not given 3 days grace period to approve the proof before being made to place a 50% deposit or lose out on a promotional discount of 20%. I had come in and made a selection 3 weeks prior and well within the promotional deadline. Overall underwhelmed.

I haven't yet become this person... But I still love to imagine what I would be like if I used this gorgeous stationary to lull all my neighbors into a classy, demure, lithographic relationship. I'm lucky enough to own the collection of love letters from BOTH sets of my grandparents, written to each other during WWII and college years away from Missouri farmland. Ahhh-- the beauty of the written letter. I sit here and type away while secretly wishing I was writing on hand-crafted stationary.

By Alice simply put is a phenomenal boutique that does modern furniture, cards and stationary…read more Alice really does work there, and is one of a few owners. Upon walking into the boutique, one feels as if they are entering some transcendent modern adobe oasis. Visitors are met with the most gorgeous modern furniture imaginable. There are rows of cards, stationary and various trinkets at the front of the store. Towards the middle on the left side is a breathtaking milk glass top table where the owners will be more than happy to help you put together custom designed invitations for any occasion. The selections are endless and all are top notch in craftsmanship. Everyone at By Alice has a cool, laid back and completely polite attitude. Coming away as anything other than giddy is solely unlikely, as here you will be tailored to and taken care of. I recommend By Alice Boutique to anyone and everyone, especially if you are in the market for wedding invitations!

So in turn, I thought it was only appropriate that I send some very special and unique cards. Hallmark was not an option. I needed the best from a local source, so I headed over to, The Firecracker Press. The variety of note with STL themes were nice. However, I found two cards that were designed as a Thank-you card and they served my purpose very well. I did see other cards that caught my eye and I will return for another occasion. Then to my surprise, when I got home and reached into my bag. TFP had given me a little thank-you postcard. It entitled me to 10% off on my next web purchase. I'm more of a brick and mortar shopper, but to save 10%, I can shop the web. Will I return? - Yes, here and the web. When: November 17, 2017 Why: Thank-you Cards

I left town and called 5 weeks from my order asking where my stationary was- they said they forgot to call me that there was a spelling mistake and they needed to re order. It is now September and they still hadn't called so I stopped by. My stationary was there but was wrong. Not anything like what I ordered. The woman who ordered it didn't apologize and told me I ordered it wrong. She said we could re order... re order and deal with 3 more months of this?! I think not. I will never go here or recommend this to anyone. God forbid I had wedding invitations or something more important. You are better off ordering online or going to paperwarehouse. What a terrible experience. I love giving the extra buck to the mom and pop shop but this place won't be getting my business ever again.
