Hello!

Thank you for visiting my shop. My name is Lindy and I’ve been designing and selling stationery on Etsy for the past 9 years.

I’ve always enjoyed stationery, the feel of the thick cover stock, envelopes in different colours and sizes, the pure enjoyment of standing in front of a wall completely covered in colourful cards! I could spend hours looking at them all. I used to collect black and white photography cards and vintage post cards as a kid and display them all over my room. As an adult the obsession continued but I also started to create my own cards and images. After having our first son I decided not to go back to work. I felt a bit lost no longer working and I came across Etsy one day. I decided to design some greeting cards and open a shop. I was immediately hooked and there was no turning back! Every sale is still a thrill. I love interacting with my customers and hearing how much they love their cards. I’ve sold my products all over the world, made some amazing friends and enjoyed every minute.

Having a shop on Etsy has been a very rewarding experience and it's provided me with so many opportunities over the years. Not only can I work for myself but I can also work from home while raising my kids full time. I've been the captain of two Etsy teams (I currently co-captian the Etsy Calgary Team) which has taken me to Toronto three times to attend the Etsy Canada Team Captains Summit. I'm also the co-organizer of the Etsy: Made In Canada - Calgary market which takes place every September. I started teaching Getting Started on Etsy workshops to fellow Etsy sellers and I've been involved with two Etsy Canada Mentorship programs.

All products in my shop are designed, printed, cut, folded and shipped by me from my home studio in Calgary, Canada.
