Before we jump into the week, I wanted to share a couple of upcoming events at my new studio space – Common Room Studio! If you’re in the DC area, we’d absolutely love for you to join us! Come get a sneak peek of the space before we do the full reveal here on the blog and meet fellow paper-loving people in the area. It’ll be so fun – come hang with us!

First up, we’re hosting a letter writing social THIS Saturday, April 7 from 10 am to noon! April is National Letter Writing Month – did you know?? In celebration of our favorite month, come gather and connect with other stationery-loving friends for our inaugural Saturday Morning Social in collaboration with our friends at Penny Post, the gorgeous new stationery store in Old Town Alexandria! We’ll have all the necessary letter-writing supplies, plenty of greeting cards, and even a little nosh from Stomping Ground. The event is FREE, but space is limited, so register today to save your seat!

Second, I’m absolutely THRILLED to welcome Baltimore-based instructor Kelly Laughlin to teach us all about the magic of paper marbling! Have you ever taken a paper marbling class? Paper marbling has been at the top of my list for workshops at Common Room Studio, and just generally something that I’ve wanted to learn since I started writing Oh So Beautiful Paper – I can’t wait to learn all about this beautiful process from Kelly! You’ll explore water marbling and create your own collection of marbled papers just in time for writing a letter a day for National Letter Writing month! The class is $50, with all materials provided and no previous experience necessary. Register right here!

Are you coming on Saturday or Sunday?? I can’t wait to see you there!
