Loren

I'm Loren, and every month I curate a collection of handmade cards I've designed, from the words to the sketches and plant-dyed paper colors. They're made by my husband and our team in our studio in rural California, down the road from the little farm where we live with our four boys, big white dogs, and a flock of sheep and chickens.

This month's story

Loren as a child at the beach

Inspired by a trip with my four boys to the beach town I visited every summer as a child, this bundle features cool blues and reimagined coastal motifs.

We made sandcastles in the same spot I used to. We watched waves crash in before a blue horizon the same color as this month's ribbon.

Beach day — waves and ribbon

We hunted crabs in the tide pools, and my 7 year-old was sure we would find an oyster with a pearl.

Oyster card Mussels postcard

Instead we found hundreds of mussels bunched together, just like my postcard this month.

My boys did get to try oysters for the first time at the fish monger's — they were not impressed. More for me!

Coastal life photo

I tucked away in my heart the memory of their smiling, sandy faces, feeling lucky for having a lifetime of sweet beach memories. I hope you can feel some of the salty air in this month's special bundle.

This month's affirmation

Every month we choose an affirmation to go with the bundle — a little something to put on your nightstand or tuck in your mirror, or pass along to a friend (or stranger) who needs to hear those encouraging words.

This month we chose "Today I choose peace."

Today I choose peace — this month's affirmation card
Hand crafted with love

Farmette paper starts with natural cotton fibers, upcycled from the garment industry, and abaca fibers from a plant in the banana family. These are processed into pulp with a Hollander beater, plant-dyed, and pulled by hand from the mould and deckle. Once dry, each sheet is letterpress printed on antique presses using photopolymer plates made from hand-drawn designs — one piece of paper at a time.
