Erin Smith

Our best selling card line for, well, more years than we care to say. Plenty of f-bombs, perfect for the times in which we find ourselves living…. Sassy and irreverent and fun, Erin Smith cards are not for the faint of heart- in other words, they’re absolutely perfect! We carry a large selection of Erin’s cards, along with other fun treats such as shopping bags, candles and more.

A note from Erin: “trying to find the humor in every little thing…so that we can all try and keep our sanity on this giant ball of beauteous and wondrous things. i think we can all agree that every day throws us new challenges…currently each day more confusing and mind boggling than the next. maybe that’s just me. nope. if you’ve made it past the first sentence then you have some idea of what i’m referring to. i call this ‘on the bus’….or ‘off the bus’. i know it’s what ya’ll are thinking…i’m just writing it down. get on the bus…we have a lot more fun!”

Umlaut

“What motivates us every day is creating connections between people, bringing laughter and celebrating style. Umlaut Brooklyn cards are instantly identifiable. Our cards have a distinctively outrageous sense of humor that serves as an unexpected counterpoint to gorgeous visuals. Retro and vintage inspired. Bright bold and hip, we combine beautiful and unusual imagery with clever thoughtful writing to express every gamut of emotion. We are dedicated to using sustainable materials and all of the cards are produced in the USA.”

Curly Girl

Leigh’s whimsical and witty work has been in the making for the better part of her thirty-ish years. Born and raised in St. Louis, Leigh began designing in seventh grade, where she got poor marks in Math class for doodling. She went on to attend University of Kansas School of Design and holds a BFA in Visual Communications. Her work has been featured in national design publications and regional art shows and is inspired by her incredible friends and family. Leigh has lived in Boston for over 13 years and likes it so much she only occasionally wishes it were Paris.

Leigh enjoys traveling, old movies, and singing. She can’t live without: yoga, her family, Snickers and Lucy the Wonder Dog. She has strong feelings about education, believes in magic, and is quite certain that given a cape and a nice tiara, she could save the world.

Agora Arts has the greatest selection of the best greeting cards you will find anywhere. Other card lines include Amber Leaders, Carl Homstad, Carol Gaustad, Mod Lounge, Design Design, Doug Crouser, Emily McDowell, Great Arrow, Near Modern Disaster, StoryPeople, Two Dog Studio and Vintage Girl.
