lists to survive
jenny holzer, printed matter postcard series
i know it’s cliche to say that your memory wanes post kids.
but it’s true
not sure if it’s true because there’s more details that take priority over other details. or because there’s just so many more details in general. or… biology?
either way, i’ve struggled to feel organized mainly for the last three years. and yesterday morning i went back to it, fervent list making and it just always makes me feel better.
for a while i just felt exhausted even thinking about making a list, once i got over that hump, it’s really been a game changer.
so here i am, twenty-four hours after that list euphoric feeling to tell you that if you also want a push in this direction, you can use the code LISTS to get 15% off of our notepad for today only.
hope this email helps someone - and if that’s you reach out and say hi :)
more general updates to follow soon - including highlights from some projects last year and what we are shifting our focus to this year.
everyday we take small actions to lead to a bigger life and in that same way, the base of creating tiny bones was to provide a way to be a bit more thoughtful everyday.
i feel extremely grateful to have the support this community and to have a space to create and make things for you in. studio tour here
as always, megan

sending a custom gift box of letterpressed stationery is one of my ultimate favorite gifts to give almost anyone. blank notecards can be used for any occasion and always come in handy.
what a better idea than to give someone the opportunity to connect with a friend or say thank you for something that meant something to them?
for this gift box, you can choose any one letter selected from the three different fonts and customize it to be on your favorite of our paper stocks in either black or blind letterpress. the letter will be printed in the lower right hand corner of the paper and gift box comes with 30 cards + matching envelopes. **please note the birch plywood boxes are unavailable at this time
please specify in the notes which letter, uppercase or lowercase and black or blind letterpress.
if you would like for me to ship this directly to the gift recipient, please mention so in the notes and I will be in touch to arrange! we can handwrite a note from you to place in the box and will leave out any receipts.
