We are so excited to collaborate with my dear friend Emelyn @folio.etc to bring you all one of the most classic perfect pairings…

Hand-made café drinks, pastries, and notebooks ☕️📒🍪

On the menu we’ll have an assortment of beautifully crafted notebooks of three varieties, adorable shortbread cookies from @sarahs_littlekitchen, two delicious pastries from @serifcafe, and a few drink options from yours truly 🫶

This one’s going to be extra special — definitely grab your tickets before it’s sold out (link in bio) because there are going to be other amazing vendors pairing up too! taken in Cambridge Foundry by @folio.etc

We loved co-hosting the DIY pocket journals and paper boxes workshop with neighborhood bookbinder @folio.etc this week. The best part? Choosing ephemera to fill the pockets with. More after-hours shop events coming soon. taken in Bow Market by @folio.etc

Learn to hand-bind a portable mood board notebook—crafted to hold fabric swatches, pressed flowers, photos, and all the pocket-sized fragments that spark something. Join Somerville-based bookbinder Emelyn Uribe-Rutowski @emelynuru of @folio.etc for an evening of hand-binding and inspiration collecting after hours at the Give Good Home Shop @givegoodhome in Bow Market.

Bring your own items—a postcard, a pressed leaf, a sketch, a handwritten note—or take something that moves you from the Give Good archive. Grab a drink from one of our wonderful Bow Market neighbors and bring it with you to the shop.

As always, expect soft music, good company, and an analog night away from screens.

🗓️ Thursday, Oct. 16, 6:30 - 8 p.m.
