Dear Everyone ~
Studio Sale 2021 is virtually upon us. The overflowing Studio Sale page will go live this evening at 8 pm Chicago time. The opening two hours of last year’s sale saw a stellar & steady cavalcade of orders, and when I awoke on Saturday morning, much shopping had continued overnight. I’m not trying to start a paper panic, but want to remind everyone that: Quantities are limited on basically everything—except our good humour. We anticipate that the early bird will catch the slinky ribbons and the fancy French scraps.
Books abound: Blank books by BZ, of course. Also a lovely selection of commercially bound books, most of which open flat and have smooth paper pages, some lined, some plain. And a single (Yes, you could say unique!) long-stitch-link-stitch book in a complementary envelope case, both made by BZ.
The Scrumptious Scrap Department has been working zealously. See freshly beribboned bundles of luscious Saint-Armand off-cuts in a range of colours. Each bundle will present at least twenty pieces, ranging in size from 2 x 3 to 5 x 7. Hand-torn edges or original deckles everywhere! And, of course, a profusion of ribbon bags, most chromatically curated. If you need a particular palette, let us know and we will do our very best. Nota deliriosa: Every ribbon bag contains a little prize, a Cambridge Imprint origami bobble/bauble with a useful bonbon inside.
If you’re thinking about ink, you’ll be in the pink: J.Herbin fountain pen inks, lovely to use for calligraphy, and drawing. Cakes of sumi-e ink in their white “ceramic pans.”
For correspondents: You’ll find some notecards on sale, and some hand-bordered 100% cotton correspondence cards & a few deluxe desk xoxcessories.
The Studio Sale will continue through Saturday, December 4. Orders will ship promptly, and afternoon curbside pick-up will be available Tuesday–Saturday (noon to 5pm). We wish you comfy shopping & creative inspiration!
