Shop Drop: Friday, April 24th at 8pm EST!

Hi, friends! I realized I had a lot of thoughts and bits to share about my shop update that there isn't really much room for in an email or on Instagram— and I realized I have this big beautiful bulletin that I often forget to use. Remember when I said I wanted to do weekly bulletins and did like, two? Haha. Good times.

2026 is been a wild ride so far. I was fortunate to scoop up quite a bit of custom client work in Q1— this type of work really keeps me afloat while everyone is recovering from the financial trauma of the holidays. That work alongside all my prep for Chicago Stationery Fest in March pretty much wiped out any energy I had to be making content or updating anything on my website.

I love the product side of my business— but it just unfortunately is not at a scale right now to keep the business afloat on its own. I appreciate all the clients that trust me to bring their visions to life, but I've really started to realize this year that it just isn't the type of work I want to be doing anymore. I want to make things— and share them with all of you.

So, I'm very grateful to now have some more time to dedicate to the product side of things, now that my client work is mostly wrapped up and market season has officially begun. Friday's update is a big one— I'm adding entirely new product categories like journals, letter-writing kits, stationery pouches, clay friends, and more.

I also want to give some love to my little team of helper bees. If you didn't know, I have a small army of 1099ers that have been helping me with production for the past year now. Alden, Jane, and Ava have helped me make clay friends, organize inventory, pack and ship orders, and run production on sewing projects. There's no way I could be doing as much as I do now without them.

And thank you all for being here to love all this new stuff I am making. I know the world is exhausting and constantly demanding so much of us; I am constantly humbled that so many of you choose me to bring some warmth and light into your life. I'm looking forward to packing up all your cute orders soon. Set a reminder for Thursday at 8pm EST for early email access, or Friday 8pm EST for general admission.
