So, just to clarify what a Buddy Bag is and what’s in it: A Buddy Bag is a curated grab bag of stationery and a few little fun things. Everything in it somehow is connected – some things by color; some by theme; and others by an idea. For sure, the bags are not just full of inventory I have too much of or stuff I need to get rid of in my shop. Many of the things are brand new items just made available by my suppliers. A lot of them are things I have acquired because I had an idea or were inspired by something in particular.

For example: Last week, I filled an order for a gal I’ve known just about all my life. While working on it, I remembered that she is very close to the cutest little puppy dog. I wished I had something to put in her bag to represent that. Anyway, I mailed the package I had curated; then, immediately, starting looking for some items related to pets that I could occasionally include in the bags.

I found this precious puppy note clip that instantly fit the bill. I ordered four of them. Also, I found other puppies and dogs, and kittens, and ladybugs, cardinals, turtles, dragonflies – there’s so many cool things out there that I had not thought about.

You know, sometimes you just find your groove and there’s nothing else to do but go with it. My mind was on a roll. I couldn’t rest until I found certain compliments to the puppy clip. And I did find something that I can’t explain exactly, except that it just fits in a sublime way.

The reveal is below.

I end by saying that not every bag has a puppy note clip or a glitter wand, but I can promise to curate something that speaks to you in some way, or, at least, that’s what I hope will happen.

Through September 12, I’m including a Buddy Bag in every order. (for FREE!)

That’s my way of saying how much I appreciate your business, especially as this online shop is a new venture for me. So far, it’s been great. I’ve had lots of puppy note clip moments as well as glitter wand ones.

I wonder what inspiration will fill the next Buddy Bag . . .
