Expressionery.com - has it gone under?

[essayfaire]

My favorite store for customized notecards and envelope stamps(but sadly, not letter sheets- I have been bereft since my local spot closed fifteen years ago and William Arthur was bought by Crane, making it no longer the slightly-less-expensive-Crane-alternative) has long been expressionery.com.  I have created and saved a number of designs over the years, and I just order more of the exact same ones when I run out, as long as they are still available.  

 

I recently decided I needed to get some more fold-over notes and tried to go to the webpage.  I have been unable to access the site through either Safari or Firefox.  I have tried private browsing with no luck. I've tried for the last month and have gotten no where, though Retailmenot still seems to be offering coupons as if the store is still around.

 

I think they were always an etailer without a bricks and mortar presence.  Does anyone know if they are still in business?  If they aren't I'm not sure where to shop, and I would also be sad.  They had some lovely and understated designs that I was able to tweak just the right amount, and the papers played well with most of my pens.

 

Thanks!

They have a presence on Instagram, and it looks like you can message them from there. I did not find anything much else. They have an old Yelp listing, and a Pinterest profile (don't know what that entails).

Thanks.  I don't have an Insta as they are owned by FB, but I'll try to get someone to check with them for me.  They don't seem to have a working Twitter anymore, I just peeked.

I am sorry to report that I just finished messing around with the Wayback Machine, and the last time expressionery seemed to have a page to be capture was Bastille Day.  I'm quite disappointed, I had inked stamps and envelope closing stickers and notecard designs, all saved...

 

It's a shame.

And I went ahead and sent them a question on instragram and have had no answer so far (7 days).

Thanks for trying.  It sometimes seems that my liking and valuing something - a show, magazine, product, store, etc.  - is negatively correlated with its long-term existence.

If there were a wistful-face emoticon I would attach that here.

I am not sure if Expressionery is still around, but take a look at papier.com! They are one of my new favorites.
