As a small bookish business owner, it probably comes as no surprise that I love to read📚✨

But over the past 10 or so years, reading has become more than just a hobby for me. It’s a way to escape, discover new perspectives, feel less alone, and find comfort when l’ve needed it most.

I love getting lost in new worlds, falling in love with characters, and that feeling of finishing a book and knowing I’ll be thinking about it and recommending it for a long time afterwards.

That’s also why making reading accessible is so important to me. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy of reading — literacy plays such an important role in helping people learn, connect, and understand the world around us.

That’s a big part of why I love running a small bookish business — I get to share something that has brought me so much joy with other people, and hopefully help make reading feel a little more magical and accessible along the way! As we head into market season, I cannot wait to connect with my community again on this level and chat all things books!📚✨

Our bookmarks have evolved!!!🤭💛

Bookmarks were the very first product I ever created, and over the past five years they’ve evolved into something I couldn’t be more proud of🥺

When I first started, I made designs inspired by some of my favourite books... and let’s just say the structural integrity was a little questionable😂

Over time, I found my rhythm and discovered the best way to create high-quality bookmarks with the cutest designs. Looking back at where they started compared to where they are now makes me so proud, and I hope you’ve loved watching them grow just as much as I have📚💛

Hey book lovers — let’s chat!📚💚

While I’m sure most of you are aware, I haven’t been online as often over the past 6 months, and it has been the best possible thing for my mental health. But what this does mean is I haven’t been as present in the business and communicating with you lovely human beings. Running a small business with just myself and the extra help from Nick — and one that was growing day by day — can be challenging and draining…

So while I adore this business and am infinitely proud of its accomplishments, I have been running things in a new way that feels more balanced for me, and that includes:

👉 Less social media
👉 More community events (pop-ups, etc.)
👉 Fewer markets but better, less stressful prep
👉 More time for myself and my creativity

It might not seem like a huge shift, but after 4 years of juggling this business alongside full-time work, it’s been genuinely life-changing. And it’s made me love creating for this space even more!

It’s taken me a while to open up in a post about this, but if you don’t see me here as often — we’re still here to serve you, just showing up in a way that feels healthier and more sustainable!

Happy Reading!📚💚
