I’m a life-long stationery addict, encouraging others to explore the joys of creative journaling and modern calligraphy and improve their mental wellbeing.
I have a PGCE, plus level 2 qualifications in Understanding Autism and Understanding Children & Young People’s Mental Health. I’m currently completing a course on Coaching for Health & Wellbeing.
What started as a stationery blog a few years ago has evolved into an online and offline community for fellow pen and paper lovers, with challenges, workshops, and products to encourage positive wellbeing.
Challenges
My #LettersInMyStyle challenges launched in February 2021 and now run for one week every month. Participants are welcome to join at any point and at any stage of their lettering journey. The prompts are published a few days in advance and there is often a chance to win stationery as part of my various brand sponsorships.
#JournalInMyStyle followed soon after and runs throughout the first week of every month. As with its lettering counterpart, participants are encouraged to follow the prompts and share their pages with the hashtag to join in.
The challenges have great participation and engagement levels, and I’ve cultivated a genuinely lovely and supportive community of creatives.
Workshops
I started hosting in-person workshops in May 2022 as a way to bring people together to explore their creativity and wellbeing. I run regular introductory sessions on creative journaling and brush lettering, plus monthly project-based workshops. I also hold separate sessions for children, incorporating mindfulness and seasonal arts and crafts.
Upcoming dates
I’ve got a packed programme of in-person workshops planned for the rest of the year. Join me at Morrab Library (in Morrab Gardens, Penzance) for a whole load of creative fun. Booking is essential for all sessions. Email e.farley27@gmail.com to book your place.
Products
I started designing my own products in 2021 and launched
my Etsy store in November. These include notepads, stickers, and washi tape to support with journaling, as well as mini prints and greetings cards.
Tried and tested
I’ve had the pleasure of working with some fantastic brands over the years (such as Ryman, STAEDTLER, Pentel, and Under the Rowan Trees) across a range of campaigns, including National Stationery Week, Stationery Show London, and World Calligraphy Day. If you’re looking to start journaling and lettering but don’t know what products to try first, check out my posts on finding the right bullet journal for you and a collection of my brush pen reviews.

Followed!
You did it! It looks great! Well done, all your hard work has paid of – your whole site looks so professional. Your new picture is nice and natural, if I ever upgrade I am going to beg you to do a how to go self hosted post 🙈 ❤️
Thanks so much 🙂 There’s still shit loads to do with tidying old posts but I’m chuffed with how it looks at first glance. I know people who have paid someone hundreds of pounds to do it all for them but I’ve just been slugging it out.
I like that it’s simple but eye catching and easy to go through, keep up the good work and all the finally touches will fall into place. I see people advertise a big fee for helping, you must feel pretty chuffed right now 😀 You definitely have the brains in your family 😂
Haha why thank you
