A simple combination of witty one-liners and premium paper, Old Tom Foolery has been churning out “unsappy, uncrappy” greetings since 2008.
Equal parts intelligent and irreverent, between their Footnotes collection and Headlines collection, Old Tom Foolery ensure there’s always something surprising to say for just about every occasion.
The Headlines Collection:
With a design to replicate newspaper headline, Old Tom Foolery’s Headline collection has a unique voice within the world of the greeting card.
The Footnotes Collection:
Their original collection, the Old Tom Foolery Footnotes range is the perfect blend of style and sarcasm. On plush, 100% cotton paper, each card is blank on the inside, with a simple, striking letterpress message on the front, with an asterisk pointing to a corresponding footnote.
THREE STAR (Germany):
The oldest chalk manufacturer in Germany, Three Stars (DREI STERNE) has been producing chalk for over 130 years.
After opening his first chalk factory in 1870, Anton Franz Mörtel registered the DREI STERNE trademark in 1898, in Berlin’s Imperial Patent Office.
Five generations later, DREI STERNE continues to be run by the Mörtel family. As to be expected from over a century of production, the company produces pure, natural chalk of the highest quality.
A familiar sight in German classrooms for decades, the Three Stars brand is gaining new popularity for their genuinely vintage box art designs, a result of using original artworks from each product’s first days of manufacture.
