Pretty in Print: A Seasonal Paper Goods Subscription and Other News
September 27, 2026
As most of you know, the past several weeks have looked a little different around here. I’ll be heading back to California this Saturday to spend some more time with my daughter. If all goes according to plan, I will be back at Evoke on Tuesday, October 13th at 11am.
Pop in and see me while I'm here! We have new arrivals coming in daily.
Evoke’s schedule will once again be a little limited while I’m away, and I appreciate all of the kindness, patience, and support you’ve shown us through all of this. Life has required a little more flexibility than usual lately, and I’m learning to simply take things as they come.
But before I leave, I have something much happier that I’ve been waiting to share.
In other news, Pretty in Print Collection is almost here!
This little idea has been taking shape behind the scenes for the past several weeks. It started with my original artwork and surface designs and grew into something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while—a seasonal collection of beautiful, useful little things designed to bring a bit of art into the everyday—shipped right to your door.
The Pretty in Print Parcel is a seasonal paper goods subscription. Four times a year—Christmas, Spring, Summer, and Fall—you’ll receive a new parcel featuring original designs and little gifts to inspire. Your subscription automatically continues each season, so there’s nothing more to do—just look forward to a little something pretty arriving at your door.
The inaugural Pretty in Print 2026 Christmas Collection, Home for Christmas, parcel will include one notebook—selected from the two notebook designs—two greeting cards (one of each card design), a fun 3" sticker, and a bookmark—all featuring my own original, hand-drawn and painted artwork.
And because you’re one of my blog subscribers, I’m giving you the first sneak peek.
You can preview the Christmas collection on the website now, and you’ll also have the first opportunity to reserve yours before I introduce Pretty in Print publicly.
I’m limiting the inaugural 2026 Christmas release to just 30 subscriptions. This first collection should be ready to ship by the last week of October—and since it’s our first release, there’s no reason to make those first boxes sit around waiting for an official ship date. If everything is ready sooner, I’ll happily send them on their way early.
I’ve loved watching these designs make their way from my sketchbook and paintings into something you can actually use, give, and enjoy. There’s something especially satisfying about seeing an idea that began as a tiny drawing become part of someone’s everyday life.
And perhaps that’s why launching this now feels especially fitting.
Life lately has been a lesson in changing plans, working from wherever I happen to be, and finding little pockets of creativity in unexpected places. Pretty in Print has quietly grown in those pockets.
And a quick Evoke reminder…
While Evoke’s in-store hours will be limited while I’m away, you can now shop a growing selection of Evoke favorites through our online shop.
I’ll continue adding new things even while I’m away, so check back often—you never know what might show up next.
And there’s something new for our Mermaid Soap subscribers, too. When you reach your one-year anniversary, you’ll receive a gift—a sterling silver pearl cage. After twelve months of discovering a pearl in each bar of soap, you can choose your favorite from the dozen you’ve collected and finally have a way to show it off!
So while I’m away taking care of the things that matter most, there will still be pretty things happening back home.
And you get the first peek. 😊
Hope to see you soon!
—All the best,
Melissa
