I had the most fantastic time at StationeryFest and JournalFest ❤️ Having a stall and meeting customers face to face… seeing my journal pals, meeting new ones. Shopping with all the amazing stalls at StationeryFest. SO GOOD! Came home utterly exhausting after a weekend of peopling and a six hour journey home (all worth it) but spent yesterday feeling like I needed to get on. Unpack, stock take, tidy up etc…

One of my friends shared this quote in her creative journal last week and it really jumped out at me - because it feels like where I am standing right now.
Since I stopped making inkDori in 2021 I have really missed them, and I know a number of you have too. I have had emails and DMs on Instagram asking me when I might start making them again… Well, the day has come. The inkDori will be returning to the Grace & Salt ink store shortly!
