Well. 2021 is off to a....start huh?
-
Last week I felt a rush of excitement and joy when voters in Georgia succeeded in flipping the Senate but that was quickly overpowered by a deep sense of pain and grief with terrorism happening at our nation's capitol.
-
Needless to say, with that going on, the surge of covid cases here in California, I'm pretty spent already. All of this has made me really sit down to wonder what I want to do with because honestly, the services I offer and the industry it is a part of has been causing me more stress than joy. Wedding and event inquiries (even the smallest ones) make me question if my business is a true reflection of my value system and that breaks my heart. I see the impact of small gatherings when I go to work as a PT who treats post-COVID patients who got sick after a family dinner. I get called into my directors office to be notified that I was exposed to a patient who later tested positive for covid. When I ask if they've seen any patterns in regards to how our patients have gotten covid while staying in a closed facility that has no visitors I am told that for this specific case, they are not sure yet but past cases were mostly traced back to when visitors would come in to see patients (back when it was allowed). In an environment where everyone is monitored, patients and visitors masked up, distanced, and limited to just one family member per day it still happened. I guess long story short, the traditional brie + ink content is not bringing me joy because I associate it with the pain of loss, the stress of uncertainty, the anxiety of coming home to tell my husband I was exposed and we both needed to monitor for symptoms.
-
So I'm taking a short break from it all to reevaluate and figure out what I plan to do with this. I still love creating and I know my love for calligraphy is still there...somewhere. I just have to find it again given the environment I am in. I hope one day I can return to the offerings that originally got me into this artform.
-
For those who will still stick around for the next stage, thanks in advance. Y'all represent the light at the end of this tunnel. 😘

This new years eve definitely looks different from years past but I know I can always rely on one very important thing -- tradition.
-
Toshikoshi soba is eaten on new years eve as a way to welcome the new year in Japan. The recipe I make every year is the same one I saw my grandma make every year as a child -- chicken broth, shrimp tempura, and a few other garnishes.
-
2020 was definitely a challenge and I know 2021 will come with its own challenges. But I know we can get through it all so long as we continue to be kind to one another and do our part to keep our communities safe.
-
Cheers my family. Celebrate fully...celebrate safely...and thank you for your continuous support as we head into 2021.

Yes Aubrie...I feel you.
-
During the last few months all I could do was complain about how my workspace was not ideal for designing, creating, and packing orders but now...I sorta miss this chaotic scene at our old place.
-
It represented the "growing pain" stage of my business that I (at times) never thought I would reach. I should have embraced the "I really need more space to do this operation" moment instead of feeling frustration. But hey, hindsight is always 20/20 right?
-
And now, I REALLY miss my old space because there was a spot for to supervise me in such a cute way. Looks like I might need to rethink my office layout at the new place so she can continue to do this.
-
And I really miss this space because I currently....don't have a space because we still need the movers to move my work benches over. 😂

There's still some time to get these in time for Christmas!
-
Link in bio for my Etsy shop!
-
P.S. sorry for being MIA! Honestly, I've been feeling stressed and a little overwhelmed by moving into our new place and trying to stay positive given how much our country is struggling to control COVID. We haven't seen our families in over a year and honestly, the way things are going I'm not sure when we will be able to visit them again. 😫 With all the feelings I've been having it's been hard to show up for my IG stories. The guilt I feel about not being as present and consistent with social media has also been making me think more about how f***ed up the expectation is for small business owners who rely on social media to help boost their visibility. *Sigh* anyways, end rant/thought dump. For those who read all the way through...THANK YOU! I hope I will have more fun/happy things to show you soon!

PSA: Gift tags are customizable! I LOVE how these custom gift tags came out! Something about that walnut ink on this pistachio green paper is just 🔥.
-
Need these in your life? They're for sale on my Etsy store! :D

12/03/2020

Let's show these more love!
-
I was scrolling through my feed and realized I've barely featured these pretty ""Happy Holidays"" gift tags. 🤦🏻
-
For those of you savvy consumers who have purchased holiday gifts from local small businesses, don't forget the gift tags! And while you're at it, might as well get those from a small, female-owned business as well right? These beauties are all cut and assembled by hand with a lot of love and care.
-
P.S. Did you know? Most of my packaging is recyclable/compostable and made from post consumer content.

"When my college friend told me they were expecting their first child, I immediately whipped out my knitting needles and made a hat out of the SOFTEST yarn I bought while I was in Norway. Little did I know, this gift would be the first opportunity for me to test out my greeting card and gift tag designs. Obviously, this gift tag iteration did not make it to my Etsy shop (I didn't like the sizing and it was too labor intensive to produce) but I love how it eventually turned into the tags currently available in our Etsy store.
-
I loved how this gift wrapping turned out I redid it so I could film a IG reel on how to create it for y'all. Check it out in my IG stories!"

What do y'all think of leather + calligraphy?
-
I've been experimenting with this combination since my better half does some leatherworking as a side hobby and I thought it would be a fun collaboration to do together!
-
And yes, we bought a house. 😲 Honestly, it's been a little hard to really be excited about this milestone because of just how awful this year has been fore so many people...but I'm trying really hard to allow myself to soak this all in because it's something I never thought I would be able to say.
-
That being said, full transparency. We are in FULL MOVING MODE right now so I'm going to be a little slower with responding to messages and my posts might be a little more sporadic. But, I think this move is going to allow me to have a lot of fun incorporating some custom pieces into our home decor....so stay tuned!
-
P.S. Thank you and for making this dream a reality. Peeps, if you need a realtor and mortgage advisor...HIT THEM UP!

It's too late this year, but should I include these in my Etsy shop next year? They were SO MUCH fun to make and I love how the pumpkins add depth to the whole design.
-
For those who are interested about how I created these...the background was digitally illustrated in , the pumpkin was embossed and cut with my maker, and of course, I did the calligraphy!
-
And for those of you celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow....please please PLEASE be smart and safe about the upcoming holidays. I know quarantine fatigue is hardcore setting in and we all want to spend time with family but PLEASEEE be smart. A negative COVID test doesn't mean you're safe to party.
-
P.S. For those of you working on decolonizing your holidays, any tips? I'll be sharing some tips from a childhood friend of mine!

Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted a so I thought I'd drop in to say hi! 👋
-
My name is Chantelle and I am a Physical Therapist turned calligrapher. I still work part-time at a rehab hospital where I get the honor of helping people rehabilitate so they can return home safely. When I'm not in my PPE and scrubs I'm at home illustrating and creating custom (and now premade) calligraphy items.
-
I love wine and honestly I had wine in mind when I designed my recently launched greeting cards and gift tags. In case you were wondering, I chose the card size because they fit really nicely into these washable paper wine bags from and the gift tags look pretty nice wrapped around some wine. 😍

Holiday gift giving in 2020 means....individually wrapped baked goods...and probably more physical gifts versus dinner parties.
-
This is why I wanted to also design gift tags this season to make it easier for you to make your gifts festive and IG-worthy.
-
Like this look? It's super easy to achieve if you're planning on gifting cupcakes, or anything packaged in a box! Grab a box from or along with festive twine and some small decorative ornaments from and you're done! Super easy! Oh, and duh, our holiday gift tags! Each one is handmade and handlettered so your gift recipients will feel SUPER SPECIAL.

Who's sending some wine out as gifts this holiday season? 🙋🏻
-
Here's my favorite way to jazz up your wine gift wrapping game! Grab a washable paper wine bag from and our exclusive 2020 holiday gift tags and holiday cards (which perfectly fit in these wine bags btw) and DONE! The prettiest, most practical way to wrap up that bottle of wine you were planning on gifting this year!
-
P.S. Even if you weren't planning to, you should totally think about gifting someone wine. I mean it's basically the equivalent of giving a big bear hug but with social distancing. 😂
