The Shop

Nestled along the brick main street in the small town of Ashland, Nebraska, Postscript is a tribute to the written word where our mission is to promote meaningful encounters with language that elevate our everyday lives. We carry everything you need for the art of writing, from letterpress-printed cards and stationery to fountain pens and calligraphy supplies to luxurious finishing touches like vintage stamps, seals, and sealing wax. We also stock sumptuous desk supplies and gorgeous books for your home library, and we can make you a delectable espresso or loose-leaf tea while you peruse.  

A postscript is also that tacked-on something-or-other that periodically found its way into the bottoms of letters when people still regularly wrote them and couldn’t simply move a cursor to add information where it might more naturally go. For writers who have trouble signing off, the postscript is a familiar space, a space to linger and make that communication last just a moment longer. And we appreciate, too, its current resonance of living in a post-script world. Culturally, we are losing a connection between hand and mind, and we are committed to preserving the distinctly human benefits and idiosyncrasies of writing the old-fashioned way.

The Shop


Nestled along the brick main street in the small town of Ashland, Nebraska, Postscript is a boutique for paper, book, and lettering arts that brings a modern sensibility to antiquated processes. Focusing on high-quality craftsmanship and the handmade, Postscript carries everything you need for the art of writing, from letterpress-printed cards and stationery sets to fountain pens and calligraphy supplies to luxurious finishing touches like vintage stamps, seals, and sealing wax. We also carry children's books that will make your heart soar, hardcover classics that are as arresting to behold as they are to read, and tools to construct your own handbound books. Postscript has an espresso and tea bar on site, fueled by partners we adore: Hardy Coffee, Artemis Teas, and Holy Kakow. And because education is one of our core values, Postscript also offers a studio space where we host workshops in calligraphy, bookbinding, paper crafts, watercolor, sign painting, and related pursuits taught by highly qualified instructors.

Laura Capp

OWNER & OPERATOR

Laura Capp is a romantic who still believes fervently in things it feels the world has forgotten: literature, handwritten letters secured with a wax seal, quiet, beauty. Once upon a time, she wanted to become an English professor and has the Ph.D. to prove it. Instead, she writes about poetry to whomever will listen, practices calligraphy and letterpress printing in the back studio, and fills the shop with books and objects that honor and tease out the longing for meaningful connection and creative expression that we all live with. Avid reader, taker of hot baths, drinker of cappuccinos, and wannabe florist, Laura is also a mom to three girls, who she is proud to say can provide excellent book recommendations when given the opportunity. And her husband, Josh, is the shop's secret weapon, making sure that they can keep up technologically even while they embrace analog living.

Abbi Eccleston

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Abbi is a lettering artist and illustrator who whips up the most delightful sidewalk signage, creates imaginative and glorious window installations, and possesses maximum enthusiasm for all things. Case in point: her favorite coffee is "all the coffees!" She's a former elementary school teacher who also teaches paper crafting and lettering in our back studio. Since her two best friends moved in 3rd grade, she has loved all things stationery, making Postscript a magical mix of dreams come true--a place to be creative, connect with people, and surround herself with an always-changing stream of the cutest paper goods. And the cherry on top? All in the town where her parents grew up and that continues to mean so much to her whole family. When she's not at the shop, Abbi is constantly running after her three kids and two dogs along with her husband, Ryan, and you can bet she's dressed in outfits that are art unto themselves. 

Tatyana Shindollar

MEDIA & DESIGN DIRECTOR

Tatyana, who holds a degree in graphic design, magically combines a love of stationery and paper goods (things, let's acknowledge, that are difficult to buy online) with a nuanced knowledge of how to create a better online shopping experience. She is infinitely attentive to detail and helps to keep the shop and its systems ship-shape. Tatyana felt at home the minute she crossed the threshold at P.S. Growing up, she lived for Scholastic book orders, the library, and arts & crafts kits, and she considered cursive workbooks to be the pinnacle of fun. Tatyana's latest interest is watercolor painting, she loves every vehicle for caffeine, and she believes that you cannot have too many blank notebooks, so truly, go ahead and get it. Someday you'll want to pen your memoirs. Might as well be get started. 

Jessie Boscarino

STAFF MANAGER & VISIONARY

Jessie is our secret weapon: a visionary who knows how to implement systems for communication and organization that keep our team informed and at the ready. Ultimately, it’s about education. She loves learning and has spent much of her adult life honing her ability to teach others and to inspire a healthy relationship with learning. There is nothing more beautiful to her than empowering others with knowledge and tools to live with agency and purpose, and we are so fortunate that she brings that beauty into our staff and shop as well. When she’s not at the shop, Jessie is an integrated-coach who utilizes a combination of spiritual direction, contemplative practices, and neuroscience to support spiritual health and mental wellness. Jessie is serious about her planners and pens, always wants to know what you’re reading, and is a champion of the humble, handwritten letter.
