Dear Everyone ~

Studio Sale 2024 will go live this very evening, November 22, at 8pm (CST) Chicago Shopping Time. We invite you to shop in comfort, no need to dress up for us—unless you want to wear an armload of washi bracelets like Ruby. No need for alarum, just set your book o’clock.

This year’s (our fifth) Gifth with Purchase is our scrap-happiest ever: a large glassine sleeve almost overflowing with Extremely Exquisite Scraps (order minimum for the giftie is $88, excluding shipping). We’ve never run out of scraps, but it could happen, so this offer will expire if & when our reserves run dry.

We’re also announcing our first BZS BIG Gifth with Purchase: The first two customers to spend $200 (excluding shipping) will receive a free memo noteholder & pencil cup, made by me and covered in Japanese decorative papers from our coffers. Deploy them with delight to dress up any surface (except your dashboard).

The Studio Sale will continue through Sunday, December 8. Orders will ship promptly, and in-shop pick-up will be available Wednesday–Sunday afternoon (except for Thanksgiving).

And if you are inclined to visit, browse, chat, we’ll be delighted to see you. We will now be open on Sunday afternoons. Our new official hours are Wednesday–Saturday from 12–5pm & Sunday from 12–4pm. Note our new mighty fine sign, hand-lettered by Ruby, gem that she is.

Studio Sale 2024

Verily merrily, Bari
