Tonight was a little bit magical. ✨

I had the pleasure of teaching an immersive art class at the Arts Center in Orange, where we stepped away from the ordinary and into a world of imagination, creativity, and a little bit of artistic mischief.

Watching everyone take the materials and make them completely their own was the best part. No two creations were alike — and that’s exactly how it should be. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who came out and created with me tonight! I hope you left with something beautiful… and maybe a little more inspiration than you arrived with.

And if you missed tonight’s class, don’t worry — I’ll be back at the Arts Center in Orange with another immersive art class in October! 🎨✨

If you’d like to join me for the next creative adventure, keep an eye out for the October class and sign up through the Arts Center in Orange’s website.

Here’s a little glimpse of tonight’s creative magic! ✨

🚨 NEW ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED AT SPELLED INK! 🚨

Something… fabulous has entered the dungeon. 🐈👑✨

We’ve created a Dungeon Crawler Carl–inspired craft & loot box, and let’s just say… Princess Donut would probably approve.

Inside? A little art. A little loot. A little sparkle. A little snacking. And enough fabulousness to dramatically alter your social standing. 👑💎

But we’re not showing you everything.

Want to know what you’ve acquired?
You’ll have to stop by Spelled Ink and inspect the loot for yourself.

Odds are, you’ll be considerably more fabulous if you do. 😼✨

Milo’s Store Diary: Day 1 💼🐾

My name is Milo. I’m only 12 weeks old, but Mom already put me in charge of managing the whole shop here at Spelled Ink Bookstore! 📚✨

Listen, the music choice ("There She Goes") is a bit dramatic for me just stepping out of my carrier, but a boss has to make an entrance. Rate my opening routine 1-10! 🐱👇

📍 Visit me in historic downtown Orange, Virginia!

✨📚 SOMETHING NEW IS UP AT SPELLED INK! 📚✨

Have you noticed something a little different the next time you stop by? 👀

WE HAVE A NEW SIGN! 🎉

It was definitely time for Spelled Ink to have a sign that was as fun and bookish as the shop itself—and we are absolutely LOVING how it looks! 🥰📖

And of course, we couldn’t have a Spelled Ink sign without a black cat! 🐈‍⬛❤️ Our new feline friend fits right in with all the cats scattered throughout the shop. If you’ve been here before, you know we have a bit of a thing for cats around here. 😂

So what do you think?! 👀

Stop by, check out the new sign, and then come inside and find yourself a good book (or two…or five 😉).

🐈‍⬛📚 Spelled Ink just got a little more official! ✨
