I’m only home for a couple days before I set off for Chicago. As a result of all this non-stop traveling, we are going to take an early Spring Break here on the Desk. It’ll be a little quiet here for a few days but we will be back for Link Love next week and our regularly scheduled content.
If I saw you in Baltimore or might see you in Chicago, thanks so much for saying hi!
Hopefully, I’ll see everyone else later this year as I continue my stationery tour of the US. Until then, happy writing, inking, journaling or drawing! See you soon!

Ooooo you had me at two new typewriter fonts from Typewriter Revolution. It sounds like I need to add them to my feed because I am a sucker for good typewriter fonts to use for stickers in my planner.
Typewriter Revolution is a great resource for all things typewriter. Did you find all the other fonts they’ve created? Quite the collection!
