yours truly, Elizabeth — Local services in Saint Joseph

Visited this delightful new business in Saint Joseph and really am hoping it takes off!! As a letter writer and journaling fan, I have a love for beautiful paper, cards, and all the things that go with them.

You can enjoy it...

Stationery shops are in short supply and I think this one will be successful given the attitude of the folks...
