Pretty Peptalks turns one!
In 2021, I started tinkering with letterpress and helping friends put beautifully simple stationery in the mail. One year later, the mission for Pretty Peptalks remains the same.
Create beautifully simple stationery perfect for all life’s pep talks.
Thank you for supporting my small business and watching it grow. I started this journey passionate about paper and craving connection. Here we are, 365 days later and I’m filled with gratitude. On our first birthday, I thought it only appropriate to say thank you for setting my dreams in motion.
I also wanted to invite you to take a walk down memory lane with me.
