Tips for House Of Cards & Curiosities
January 20, 2013
I'm glad this shop is there - interesting selection - but its prices on cards are out of sight. Try $5-6 for a relatively average card (i.e., no pop-ups or audio). Fortunately, a card is a low ticket item.

Best card shop in the city. When you want to send something a bit more distinctive than a generic Hallmark card, come to House of Cards and Curiosities for thousands of handmade, beautifully designed cards and other quirky knicknacks. While some cards quite elaborate and pricey, they have a full range of budget cards, too.

quirky. There's definitely a vision to this store, which holds nicely designed thank-you notes and wrapping paper in addition to animal bone fossils and snazzy pocketknives. The service is sometimes a bit reserved or surly-seeming, oddly enough, but that just adds to the unusual texture.
