Spending Mother’s Day writing calligraphy on notecards at Sézane made me fall for the Seaport in bloom… but seeing it all dressed up for the holidays feels like a whole new kind of magic!

This past Sunday I personalized gift bags for guests, the first of five calligraphy events I’m doing through November and December! I will be back at their Boston Popup the next three Saturdays, and the following Sunday, come say hi and let me write something special for you!

Happy IAMPETH Certificate Submission Deadline Day to those who celebrate!!

This is a milestone I never imagined reaching. Honestly, I hadn’t even considered it until about three weeks ago, which is a pretty far reach considering most people work on their submissions for months and months. I was a couple of days into my daily practice, looking for the IAMPETH scholarship details and, on a whim, decided to look at what the certification requirements actually looked like in the area closest to my expertise - Proficiency in Engrosser’s Script. If nothing else I now had some more options for practice text.

And then without overthinking it, I just went for it, taking baby steps in the direction of getting my submissions ready. I ordered the specified paper, I printed out the applicable exemplars, I gathered all my ruling up tools (and even created my own!) and I just started writing.

Would I recommend a three-week turnaround? Absolutely not. I wasn’t sure I’d even have anything ready to mail by the deadline. What I did have, though, were years of practice and study to lean on, enough to give me a foundation for these specific historical letterforms.

Strangely enough, the tight timeline helped me. I didn’t have time to overthink and worry, I just kept moving forward. With such focused practice, I saw daily progress, so much so that I ended up redoing all three submissions at the last minute.

Best of luck to all the calligraphers who poured their hearts into their submissions! I’m excited (and a little nervous) to receive feedback and keep growing. Honestly, the fact that I feel ready for my work to be judged at all is a huge win for me!

Here’s to milestones we never saw coming and celebrating them when they do!

Hot foiling is quickly becoming my favorite personalization technique, so when Amanda Reid (yes, THE Amanda Reid) invited me to collaborate at a foiling activation in Boston, I was thrilled to say yes! Knowing it would be a high-volume event, I was glad to help her assemble a strong team by bringing in two talented local calligraphers, Jenn and Simone, who I’ve had the pleasure of working with before.

Together, we were a surprise element for attendees at Tripleseat’s annual EventCamp conference, immediately following Cassie LaMere’s thoughtful session on “The Art of Personalization.”

Guests selected a luggage tag and watched as we foiled their requests in real time, a simple but impactful way to create a memorable, interactive experience.

Thanks again to for organizing such a seamless event, to Amanda for bringing me on board, and to Jenn and Simone for their artistry and teamwork!

Engraving for an all-brand event at Nordstrom the week before my scheduled M•A•C Cosmetics engraving event gave me the perfect opportunity to connect with their team in advance, and I’m so glad I did! Not only did they get to see my engraving work in action, but we were able to chat about what to expect for their very first event of this kind at this location.

They even invited me to come in early the following week to get my makeup done, how’s that for a warm welcome? Before I left, I made sure to pick up the foundation they recommended so I could arrive with just the basics (foundation, liner, lashes, and brows - my version of a no-makeup look as someone with alopecia!) and let the pros do the rest.

Huge shoutout to Robbie for making this 40-something girlie’s skin glow! I picked up a few new tips and a new favorite foundation. Honestly, if I could start every event being pampered at the M•A•C counter, I would.

Now onto the EVENT itself! Foot traffic was steady and the lipsticks were hands-down the most popular item of the day. I also got to engrave their Turquatic fragrance. That glass bottle was an absolute dream surface to work on!

Thank you so much to Sun Dreams Productions for bringing me in for this one, such a fun and beauty-filled day!

I have added a new class option for August! In addition to Modern Calligraphy for Beginners and Virtual Modern Calligraphy for Beginners, both using a pointed pen, I am trying out a new option - Brush Lettering for Beginners!

We will cover the basics of writing with a paint brush and a brush pen, as well as how to create your own calligraphy ink using gouache! This class is for those who may have already taken a beginners class using a pointed pen and want to learn how to use other tools, AND also those who are brand new to calligraphy.

Here is the full class lineup:

✨ Sunday, August 3rd at the Biltmore Bar & Grille ***BRUSH LETTERING CLASS***

✨ Thursday, August 7th at Donut Villa Brunch Club & Bar

✨ Wednesday, August 13th for Virtual Modern Calligraphy for Beginners on **ZOOM**
The last day to register for my virtual class is August 6th, supplies will be mailed right to you!

IAMPETH 2025

Last week was a blur, a wonderful, eye-opening, overwhelming, mind-blowing blur. I promise, I will share more stories and photos and videos because I took a lot of photos and I have a lot of stories to share. I am still sort of processing the whole week and basking in that post-conference glow. For now I will say, within the first 10 minutes it had totally exceeded all of my expectations.

After I checked into the hotel, before I even went to registration, one of the first things I did was walk around the artisan market. I’m not even sure if they were technically open yet but the doors were so I went in. Right away I found myself standing in front of a table watching the incredible Michael Sull write. Incredible is a vast understatement but I have a character limit here. He noticed I was there and we started chatting. I explained it was my first time and I think I said it was an honor just watching him write and that I also liked his hat…? I honestly don’t remember, I was in awe! He asked if I had ever had my name written by a Master Penman - no I haven’t! He noted my first name on his scratch pad and then proceeded to write my name as only he could write it. I stood there, speechless, my eyes immediately filling with happy tears. It was magic.

So yeah, that’s how my week started! And it continued with many more pinch-me moments that individually would’ve still been worth the price of admission!

Did you know I teach a monthly virtual calligraphy class?

I cover the basics of modern calligraphy, but, as with all my classes, I’m more than happy to dive deeper and answer questions for those who aren’t total beginners! I truly believe it’s valuable to periodically revisit those fundamental skills from time to time and see them with fresh eyes.

If you’re brand new to calligraphy, I’d love to help you get started and give you a clear path forward so you feel less overwhelmed.

Interested, or know someone who might be? Comment VIRTUAL and tag them here!

Hope to see you in class soon! ✨🖋️
