HI!

We're Alyson and Nick O'Connor, the smiling faces behind Rust Belt Love. Even after 10 years, we still love working together and bringing beautiful paper products to life. Everything we create is designed completely by us; we don’t use stock images or templates, so you won't see these designs anywhere else. Everything you see is original artwork from Alyson's hand, often beginning as a traditional pen and ink drawing.

Our Core Beliefs

+ We believe in history; of people, of buildings, of heirlooms.

+ We believe in customer service; we love helping our couples, our customers, and our stockists!

+ We believe in QUALITY.

+ We believe in supporting other small businesses, and the fearless people who run them.

+ We believe in hard work; in business, in relationships, in family.

+ We believe in Buffalo, and the people who call the Rust Belt cities home.

+ We believe in exclamation points, and use them way too much!!
