    Farmette Card Subscription: Artisan Handmade Paper, Cards & Sari Ribbon

    by Deborah Bass Published: June 16, 2026

    I love paper.

    Rustic and elegant, it’s where people and nature converge.

    I especially love paper to write on, but paper allows for expression in countless forms. You can adorn it, embellish it, paint it, tear it, glue it, gift it, wrap it, or fill it with words that matter.

    So when I discovered Farmette, an artisan paper maker, I was immediately intrigued. After all, who doesn’t love a monthly surprise in the mailbox—especially one that’s both useful and beautiful?

About Me

About Me

Hey, there. I'm Deborah~

Writer. Miner of meaning. Beautiful things seeker. I write about whatever sparks inspiration or brings joy—things that make my solar plexus twirl—travel, art, urban expeditions, and the human experience, as well as tougher topics like dark history. I don’t flinch from the hard stuff. Mostly, I love to open hearts and ignite emotion.

For Those Who’ve Asked

A small gesture to support this space 🌷

Why I Write

“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.”

—Clarissa Pinkola Estés, author of Women Who Run With the Wolves
