Dear Everyone ~

In these trying times, I want to do everything
I can to help people express themselves on paper.
Yesterday evening, I received an email from a long-time
customer who lives in Wisconsin and finds herself
stranded in Florida. She asked that I call her, and we spoke
early this morning. She placed an order for assorted supplies,
as shown here. I’m looking forward to packing this up for her
and shipping it forthwith!

My studio is closed to shoppers until at least the end
of the month … but I will be here, working on custom projects
and packing up online orders. If you live within driving distance,
you are cordially invited to place an order,
which I will pack up in advance, and you can swing by
for stylish curbside pick-up. Call, or email, or send me a note!

If you’d like an epistolary pick-me-up
(for pick-up or posting), may I suggest a newly assembled
Bundle of Stationery Joy? Each is bundled in a sheet of
Japanese paper that I have treasured for about 25 years.
(I think I bought these either at the original
Paper Source or at Aiko’s.) Every one-of-a-kind assortment
presents 30-some pieces eager to do your bidding.

No two bundles are exactly the same,
but each contains a fairly dazzling array of
correspondence papers & envelopes. Marvelously mix-&-matchy:
here a European postcard, there a hand-bordered treasure.

I hope correspondents will be frankly (petite postal pun!)
delighted to learn that I’ve also refreshed my
vintage postage reserves to create bouquets of
lovely springy stamps. Handy for mailing,
dandy for decorating & thoroughly therapeutic.

Bouquet of LOVEly springy stamps

Bundled up,
