@dovbee & I are quoted in this @chicagotribune article about @chicagostationeryfest! It is always fun to talk about stationery and how lovely our growing community of letter writers, journalers, and pen lovers is. (I’ll share a link in my stories.)

**GIVEAWAY!** [CLOSED] I was super lucky and grateful to get a pass to Chicago Stationery Fest at the very last moment! I had a really fun time with pals Donovan, Kimberly & Naoto at their booth and Amelia, who volunteered (swipe for pics).There were so many vendors and I got so many goodies💸😆
So! I’d love to share the wealth!
To be entered to win some CSF mail from me during national card and letter writing month (April):
Comment about your love of stationery, if you were able to attend CSF, or not! Say whatever you like and I will add your name to the giveaway list. International folks welcome and one entry/comment per person.
Winners will be announced on Tuesday March 31st at noon CST after I choose 8 people from the comments at random! Winners will get (also at random) either a card, postcard, or letter (something from the first slide) with a handwritten note. Along with the note, I’ll also include a little sticker, ephemera, or washi from my CSF haul! Pretty sweet, no?
I’ll tag the winners in a story and reach out for your addresses when I do the drawing on Tuesday.

Good Luck!

Items from: Selvage, Galaxie Safari, GIngerrbridge + thewashistation , Marigold Press, ThePaperCraftPantry , Ashmademe , KuboandLucy + Danaateoatmeal

This giveaway is not affiliated with Meta, Instagram, CSF or any of the vendors at the fest. I am just sharing some items from my personal collection to spread joy through the mail. 💘💌📬

I had a lovely time at @chicagostationeryfest on Sunday! Here's a memory book made from vendor bags, business cards, and some fest stickers and postcards.

The morning line was quick and well managed. The shopping crowd inside wasn't overwhelming - I was using a walking stick and didn't have trouble navigating the space. I was able to get to all the tables I wanted to see well before my ticket time ended. Amazingly, there was only one sticker I wanted that was sold out on Sunday morning. The vendors were amazing and friendly; fest staff were helpful! My main suggestion is better lighting - it was tough to see things at a couple tables, especially the ones in corners upstairs. Oh, the stationery exchange bar was really cool - I brought a few things to leave and found a few treasures to take.
