Dear Everyone ~
For those of you who have been longing for a re-stock of our bespoke & beloved Hahnemühle pads: your wait is over. Kevin, who’d first called way back in September to enquire, had requested updates on the pads’ progress. Last week, he was the first customer to see the voluminous stacks. He purchased two pads, choosing a duo of Janet Bouldin’s postcards to accompany each. He declared with a smile, So. Worth. The. Wait!
Later that afternoon, another customer, who hadn’t shopped in some time, gravitated to the pads, placed his new pad on the counter, in addition to the notebooks he’d come in specifically for, and said, Oh, this makes me so happy. And it was quite a pleasure to ship Ann, who’d emailed back in December, optimistically enquiring, her three pads, each one wrapped individually (as scene below). So, six pads have already gone to their new homes. As often, supplies are limited, so pad on in (or over to your phone) to avoid disappointment.
I’ve decided to part with my final assortment of vintage Japanese crinkly Kodai papers from my Aiko’s reserve. Sheet sizes range from 8" x 12" to 19" x 34.5". With your purchase, you will also receive a link to my recording, How-to-glue Kodai papers. In this video, I demonstrate how to glue a case-bound cover with a cloth spine + crinkly Kodai front & back covers, as well as a case-bound cover with the Kodai wrapping around from front to back.
AND: Paper Bird bookmark cards—which flew out of stock in December—have flown back in and are amply restocked. We’ve added two dreamy new designs, Stormy Sunset by Tjitske Kamphuis and Jekyll Garden Lindisfarne by Janine Burrows.
