Enveloped in Gratitude—Literally

Dear Everyone ~

In deep bow is often how I end my correspondences, but I am beginning this email with a deep bow. And a photo of my thank-you envelopes to everyone who contributed to my Booster campaign for MoveOn's #ToSaveThePostOffice initiative. The envelopes will find their way to their respective “honorees” over time.

The grand total of Boosters of Stationery Joy sold handily surpasses my initial goal. My final tally is 43 Boosters purchased & shipped through my online shop, plus 11 Boosters picked up curbside. Plus four customers made straight-out cash donations to the cause.

So, Bari Zaki Studio's donation to MoveOn is $799, well over my original seemingly optimistic goal of $500.

Assembling the Boosters has given me particular joy, both stationery and stationary! I loved laying out the expanse of stacks of envelopes, notecards, postcards, and little glassine-encased “party favours” of Letters Mingle Souls stamps. As the towers of tissue-wrapped Boosters grew, my spirits soared with them.

Boosterfully, Bari
