Stampology Chicago

I remember EXACTLY how I first came across STAMPOLOGY

I was working at Archivers and I had a customer who came in with the CUTEST STAMPS and it came in the CUTEST bag & I was immediately Intrigued :)

ALTHOUGH she told me it was in CHICAGO & I'm like eeeeek CHICAGO?

I HATE driving! still do. BUT I missioned my way to STAMPOLOGY anyway & fell in LOVE with DAVE and Sues DAD Jim immediately!

Of course I became a loyal customer and eventually an employee :)

I've met the MOST AMAZING people at Stampology some of them I even consider my second FAMILY

I feel so Blessed to have had the opportunity to work with such TALENTED individuals :)

With that said

I unfortunately have some sad news to share :(

A letter from Dave:

As most of you know. me, Sue, and most of our staff work other jobs in addition to working at Stampology Chicago. Sue and I have been talking about our future and that of the store.

Needless to say with Sue and me working other jobs and running Stampology, it has taken a big toll on my health and our relationships with families and close friends. Sue and I are very close to our families and friends and since Stampology Chicago opened 6 years ago, we haven't had the opportunity to nurture and grow these relationships because of our commitment to the store. We attempted to cut back on store hours, but in the end this hasn't helped as much as we had hoped. I recently had my annual check-up and my doctor has advised me that I need to change the way I am taking care of myself, if I wanted to have a myself to take care of much longer.

It is with sadness we inform you that Sue and I have started looking to sell the business. It is our hope someone with the same philosophy and attitude of care we have for our customers will purchase the store and it will continue to be a place of enjoyment to you. In the unlikely event that we are not able to sell the store, Sue and I have come to the decision that we will close our doors in order to pursue our other goals that we have put on hold these past 6 years.

Making this decision was very hard for us, because we truly enjoyed each of

you and we have made wonderful friends over the years. We wanted to

communicate this information to you personally so you understood the reasons why we have decided to close this chapter of our lives.

If you are interested in purchasing a hand-made business, please contact me.

Thanks,

Dave
