It’s Friday!!

Dear September,

We have plans for you.

Plans for fresh pages and favorite pens.
For sending a little more happy mail.
For making things just because we can.
For slower mornings and slightly cooler days.
For starting something new—or picking up something we set down.

We don’t need a brand-new year or a brand-new school year to begin again.

Sometimes, all we need is a brand-new month.

So, September, we’re ready for you.

Bring us the cozy.
Bring us the creativity.
Bring us reasons to put pen to paper.

Love,
Paper & Hide 🖤

P.S. We have a feeling you’re going to look really good on paper.

My dear friend is closing her physical space at Grandon. Physical space may be closing but Leigh Alan will continue, just in a new capacity.

Pop over and shop her handmade goods during her big sale.

I am a pouch fanatic! I have several of Leigh Alan rainbow pouches. The print just grabbed me.
Go see what designs grab you!!

Just hanging out with Dolly today! I walked by my art prints and thought how appropriate is this one?!

The bigger the hair, the closer to Jesus!
