At first I was baffled by that, but now I'm so glad! I'm really happy to have found Monica and her calligraphy skills! It wasn't a piece that I was in a rush to have done, but I was able to get it back in 24 hours. Can't ask for better than that. It might have only been a simple 2-sided piece of paper, but it was important to me and my family. Now we will have this heirloom forever, and it's as beautiful as I could ever imagined.

She personalized…read morethe clothing hangers I gave out to our groomsmen and bridesmaids and parents for their wedding outfits, mirrored seating chart, chalkboard wedding sign, chalkboard parking sign, bar menu, table numbers, and appetizer labels. Everything turned out so well and photographed so beautifully. I still have our bar menu displayed on our bar cart in our home. We also still have our mirrored seating chart and chalkboard welcome sign in our home, and they still look amazing over a year later! Aside from wedding-related calligraphy, I also have other items from Bed of Letters from various events and moments in life. For a Friendsgiving dinner I hosted, Breanna made embossed tile place cards for my guests that doubled as a little gift to for them to take home. I also have a glass ornament that commemorates my husband and my first married Christmas together. Just a few examples of many personalized calligraphy pieces I've accumulated throughout the years that I now use to decorate the spaces in my home. Whatever my calligraphy needs are, Breanna at Bed of Letters is my go to calligrapher. Personalized gifts with her calligraphy are always a hit because of how beautiful they always turn out. If you need a calligrapher, look no further!

This is my FAVORITE stationary store in Austin. I happened to wander in after a central market…read moretrip. I am in love with the journal selection. I bought a Bruno Visconti journal and fell in love, came back and bought some more. Returned and they were sold out, the employee was so helpful and let me know I could put in a request for their buyer to order more. She filled out a request sheet and took my information so that they can call me when it comes in. But this is so much more than a place to buy journals. They have a huge pen selection, including some fancy ones. Their seasonal/holiday decor is always so unique and fun. They have a huge kids section and I will be popping in whenever I need a gift. AND stickers. They have a wall of a ton of stickers! They have a party section, greeting cards, gifts for adults and children, and they also make custom paper products like invitations + more. The selection is great, the prices are affordable and nothing feels overpriced, but what really sticks out here is the great staff. (I believe this is a locally owned- women owned business! More of this please!)

"This is a hug that looks a lot like a card."…read more Great cards like this are few and far between, but I find such treasures at the Paper Place more often than not. Reliably. I also find gorgeous paper goods for table settings made by Hester & Cook, journals by Leuchtturm that invite me to realize "writing by hand is thinking on paper." It is a joy to look at their gift wrapping paper, but this I eschew in favor of vintage silk and polyester scarves that I buy in lots online. This is a solid source of terrific picture frames, seasonal decorations, and amusements for kids, such as stickers and paper dolls. I don't believe I have ever walked out of the store empty-handed. Parking can be a bit of a challenge given the store proximity to Central Market.

I was shocked at how quick her turnaround time was as well. She's very good with proper etiquette and formalities, in addition to being knowledgable about international mailings (we invited one guest from Austria and she even knew the correct way of addressing envelopes in German). In addition, she went above and beyond to recommend ways to send the envelopes without getting damaged and where to order custom embossers. Being new to Austin, I'm so happy I found someone I can rely on for our future calligraphy needs!

There is a lot here, but the staff can help you navigate, especially if you are looking for something in particular. I asked them to show me all their cute snail stuff, and they definitely did that. It was hard not to walk out with a ton of cute stuff! They have lots of writing tools and even have a place to test them out, which I really enjoyed. They also have a place where you can stamp your existing notebooks, which I liked because it gave me a nice souvenir. They also have cards, stickers, and washi too. The plaza this place is in is a fun stop too, so it's worth a drive to check out the other businesses around. There's a tea store right next door. Also a heads up this business has two entrances.
