Located in Milwaukee’s third-ward district, Broadway Paper rightfully shows their passion of all-things-paper. Their roomy boutique offers everything from wedding announcements to recycled greeting cards, stylish office supplies to personalized ceramics. They also feature designers such as egg press, hello lucky, kate spade and snow & graham (just to name a few). Not in the Milwaukee area? Their website makes it easy for paper-lovers across the country to access their exquisite line of goodies morning, noon or night! And not to worry… just because Tracie has sold the store, BWP isn’t going anywhere. Miss Kate Strzok will be stepping in while Tracie spends time with her four daughters and pursues a new career in photography. Good luck Tracie and Kate!

Amy Graham Stigler spent her childhood growing up in our beautiful state of Wisconsin, eventually moving to Chicago to study art and co-found the internationally known stationery company Snow & Graham. After a decade in the city, her growing family moved back to a “quieter” life in the Hartland, WI area. Amy is now creative director and designer for Smock Paper, the first sustainable letterpress print shop in the U.S. to print on a luxury bamboo paper. Although the print shop is located in upstate New York, you can find Smock’s designs at a number of retailers around Wisconsin, including Monograham in Nashotah (Amy’s store), Sarah B. Fine Stationery in Madison and Broadway Paper in Milwaukee. Visit smockpaper.com to see all of Amy’s designs and the many blogs (like designmom.com) featuring her work.
