Earlier this spring my good friend Mary (of Love of Character here in Wichita) partnered up with Caddy (of Caddy Corner Designs from Dallas, Texas) and offered a couple of calligraphy classes.

I’ve always loved handwriting and was immediately really excited to try my hand (pun intended) at learning this new skill.

I was thinking I could use my new calligraphy skills to hand address our Christmas cards this year…

…aaaaand that’s probably not going to happen.  Ha!

I have had the hardest time finding a chance to practice what Caddy taught us, plus it would seriously take me days upon days upon days to scroll out everyone’s deets.

I’m definitely no expert and pretty slow when it comes to stringing letters together correctly.

And I’m pretty sure the highly-stainable ink would end up somewhere on my light colored couches…because #kids.

But it was such a fun afternoon, and I would totally sign up again when they host a second round of classes. Mary hosted us in her home and her space was decked out as always with just the best, brightest, cheeriest details.

I am just so proud of her and cannot wait for her little shop to open.

She really is the hostest with the mostest.
