A sold out calligraphy class at a bookstore? Honestly, a dream come true!

Teaching in a bookstore has been on my wishlist forever and Book Ends really made our first class together extra special. This beloved shop has been a staple of downtown Wi******er for over 40 years and the owners are so warm and welcoming. The whole night just felt magical.

I’m so grateful to everyone who joined us and made it such a fun night. We practiced pretty letters, laughed a lot, and everyone got to enjoy 10% off during a private shopping experience… I mean, can you think of a better night out?

Does this sound like your vibe? I’ll be back on Friday, May 1st for a special Mother’s Day themed class. In addition to a beginner’s calligraphy kit, attendees will also receive supplies to create their own cards for mom, or another special person in their lives!

Comment the name of a good book you’re reading to help give me inspiration for class and I hope to see you there!

We are officially ONE WEEK AWAY from Modern Calligraphy for Beginners at FiDO Pizza and after stopping in for dinner with my family this weekend, I am even more excited for class!

First up, the drinks. If there is an unconventional cocktail on the menu, I am definitely ordering it, and the Pepperoni Pizza Negroni absolutely delivered. The subtle spiciness was the perfect complement to the bitterness of a typical Negroni.

The pizza got rave reviews from my family. My girls stuck to the classic cheese and my husband opted for the Tomato Pie, (sauce and pecorino, just like his grandmother used to make). I went with The Doc (tomato sauce, soppressata, garlic honey, chili, whipped ricotta) which is basically my dream flavor combo. Salty, sweet, spicy… no notes.

Now, what really makes this spot special and so much more than your typical pizza place has to be the apps. The chef sent over the Mighty Meatball (yes it was!), and we ordered the Garlic Bread, which is a wildly modest name for what actually arrives at the table. I mean, a crispy bread bowl overflowing with roasted garlic, stracchino, ricotta, and fresh thyme was worth the trip on its own!

Tickets are still available and all supplies are included (and yours to keep), so what are you waiting for? It’s the perfect excuse for a fun night out!

Check out the link in my bio for more information or comment GARLIC BREAD and I’ll DM you all the details.

Hope to see you there! 🍕✨🖋️

Pinch Med Spa has officially arrived in Boston and what an epic launch it was!

Live engraving on compact mirrors created a personalized moment for each guest, and they did not last long! From start to finish, every element was intentional, elevated, and guest-focused. Exactly the kind of experience I love being part of.

If you’re planning something special, this is your sign to incorporate details that your guests won’t stop talking about!

In honor of International Women’s Day, I was inspired to re-write a quote that I had shared back in 2023 because what a difference 3 years makes! No planning, no drafting, no warming up, and written on slightly transparent paper so I could use guidelines underneath. The funny thing is, the original one from 2023 was already a huge difference from 3 years prior, and I even ruled up the dark paper in pencil first. I can’t wait to revisit this in another 3 years!

2016. I almost didn’t post anything (blame my Gen X rebellious sensibility). So many good things happened that year but personally, it was also a significant year in my alopecia journey. While remembering that roller-coaster of a time, I realized it was also the year of one of my absolute favorite projects. So, let’s revisit the professional side of things.

In 2016 I was all about wedding invitations and celebrating 10 years of my small biz. I had taught myself graphic design and was obsessed with fonts, playing around with all the glyphs. The more letter variations, the better! I was even known to frankenstein some letters together (still do!).

This was also the year my sister-in-law got married and her iconic dress served as the inspiration for a whole wedding invitation suite I designed around it. I’m pretty sure my exact words to her were “just let me do what I do” and I took it from there.

The dress in question? That was all thanks to another sister-in-law. The perks of her being in the wedding dress industry, she was literally friends with the designer of said epic dress. There’s a whole story about her watching him sketch it on a napkin, I’ll let her fill in the details…

I mean, the DRESS! I was in love! Something about the white on white stripes, I was immediately obsessed. Yes, it fit in with the whole navy / stripes / preppy vibe of the wedding. But I just knew, her invitations needed a white on white stripe feature. And, since I couldn’t find what I wanted, you better believe I painstakingly hand-painted iridescent stripes onto matte white card stock for each and every invite to achieve what I was looking for!

It can be challenging as business owners to work with friends/family but I think that’s how I started to build my confidence as an artist. I felt comfortable working with people I knew well and who trusted me to just “do what I do”. Yeah, it wasn’t the most profitable business model but these projects also allowed me to learn new things. Like, what is the best way to paint stripes on 100+ pieces of 5 x 7 cardstock!

Unplug, get your hands dirty, and learn a new skill in 2026! I’m teaching 2 classes in January, one in-person and one online.

Good handwriting and/or artistic talent are not necessary, just come with an open mind! I’ll bring the materials and guide you every step of the way.

Not a beginner? That’s ok. I still like to revisit the basics even as an experienced calligrapher and I can help you refine your writing and give you tips and other resources to take it to the next level!

Comment NEW YEAR and I’ll DM all the details. Please reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to chat about all things calligraphy. I hope to see you in class soon!
