Strangely satisfying to know the thing you’re pa

Strangely satisfying to know the thing you’re packing will make its trip in materials that you can tell had already safeguarded multiple shipments before it showed up holding something *you* had wanted.

Some combo here of packaging provenance and playing the ‘keep it off the ground’ crowd game with bubble mailers... but whatever the case, each time it gets reused, it keeps the packaging from becoming plastic waste and constrains demand for newly manufactured materials and related, unavoidable emissions. #gamifyreuse

I remember playing hide and seek with cousins in t

I remember playing hide and seek with cousins in the basement of our grandparents rural Iowa farmhouse. Later that day, we all got to eat broken cookies, after grandma realized someone had sat on an ice cream tub stashed in a basement closet as they hid ... so much for keeping them out of reach/temptation.

Tonight, I had a distinctly similar feeling when I heard Etsy sing ‘kaching!’ and found that someone had discovered a listing I’d quietly posted yesterday... I had thought I’d list some drawing inks and inkwells first... but then, that kaching, and I got that ‘let’s eat cookies early!’ feeling; and all of a sudden, today (defined as the time between sleeps, because it’s technically tomorrow otherwise) was the day where we said ‘what the hell’ twice, and posted something that felt a little premature twice, and decided not to worry that we might run out of beeswax or not have ink listed or fret over broken cookies...

What I’m really trying to say, though, is that I was already excited about getting dip pens back onto the site with some quality New Old Stock nibs before I had said nibs in hand — and their recent arrival only got me MORE excited, because the lot Is a sequence of calligraphy- style italic nibs made just after WWII, and every single one of them is a left cut oblique — making them ideal for left and right handed writers alike.

They’re on Etsy AND shopjunket.com and available with and without a pen/holder. More nib styles to come in the weeks ahead, and more deets about *these* nibs can be found in the listing, set up with multiple price points and options for tighter budgets. Free contactless order pick-up in S MPLS, too!

Oh, and about today’s other #whatthehell listing? We’re down to our last beeswax/holder (you’ve been warned. 😉)

Ever get a little anxious posting a new product that you’ve been painstakingly collecting for ages? That’s not entirely common, and not the sort of thing you’d go out hoping to scavenge?

I posted these beeswax/holder sets yesterday, figuring three was enough for starters. Within 6 hours of listing at a price that seems high but honors our desire to be able to replenish, I’m down to two (good problem to have, right?)...

Do I even share that we have them if they’ll be gone in five minutes?

What the hell. We have two of them (for now), and we’ll replenish as we’re able. 😂Shopjunket.com or Etsy... #mindingourbeeswax #waxedthread #getwaxed

I swear this sort of explosion happens every time

I swear this sort of explosion happens every time I decide to write about something. It’s like the words don’t happen unless I take everything out and touch it. I’ve been on this tear for three days. Apparently, Saturdays are for (coffee and) putting things back in order again. #wfhlife 😆
