One of my best wedding finds throughout the entire process was Stephanie to do the calligraphy for…read moreour invitations, the place cards and a few other fun decor items. In a sea of craziness, Stephanie was the sweet, kind calm calligrapher who gave me exactly what we wanted with her modern and contemporary style. I truly lucked out with this Yelp find. She was amazing. But that wasn't all. She went above and beyond. A couple weeks before our wedding, we lost one of our labradors suddenly. Obviously our labs were important to us and Stephanie knew that since we had about 200 black and chocolate colored mini lab place cards that would be set up with a dog house and other related items. Each of our labs was also going to get their own card and be positioned near the dog house just for fun. Well, Stephanie took it upon herself to create lil gold wings for the lab we lost and did the same for another lab we lost earlier. Both were set up on a mini rainbow bridge. Fab calligraphy aside...she won me over with this act of kindness. xo

We received many compliments from our guests on the beautiful board. Stephanie gave us the option of her buying the board and staining it, but we decided to do it ourselves. We're so glad we had her do our calligraphy...it was a nice touch that helped us immensely.

She was super responsive, even when I got busy and wasn't the best communicator on my end.

Atlas Stationers? Oh, you mean STATIONARY HEAVEN?…read more On Sunday morning, all was quiet in the West Loop. Around 10 AM (a little after opening), I walked in & was surprised to find a vibrant little community of early-rising, stationery enthusiasts, just my kind of people. The store was lively but not crowded, so shopping was very comfortable and fun. First off, the staff here is PHENOMENAL! So kind, conversational, knowledgeable, helpful, & attentive. Possibly the best customer service I've ever received. If you're a stationary enthusiast or stationary-curious, this is a great place to be. I've seen this store's TikTok account before, so I expected it to be a big chain given its popularity, but it's actually a family-run business since 1939! They even have a nice online store you can check out. Everyone has their preferences, but this store checked all the boxes for me. On top of excellent service, they had an INSANE SELECTION! Stickers, pens, journals, leather journal covers, washi tape, and ALLLL the stationery goodies. The cost is comparable to other stores (online & otherwise), which is great. They even offer frequent events & workshops. Stores like Topdrawer are very popular, but they just never spoke to me. Atlas Stationers is a gem that I can't rave about enough. Even when I'm not in the store, I frequently check out their website or TikTok. I love the little community they've built!

What a treasure trove for stationery enthusiasts and/or folks who just love writing!…read more A huge wall section dedicated to stickers and washi tapes and so much variety of fountain pens! Lots of journals as well. Ngl was a little overwhelmed by the large selection lol but there was a good amount of friendly staff walking around offering assistance.

I looked this place up and hoped it would be open on the day of graduation since we were ubering around with a group for the weekend. Not only were they open but the gal on the phone was super helpful and I was a bit stressed, lol. She said she had bouquets and I asked for the school grad color and I knew she would not be able to keep them long since she would be flying back to Arizona soon. I don't want to spend too much. I got a great price and I was able to present some flowers to my beautiful daughter on her special day. We took some great pics!! Thank you so much for making it happen for us Zins flower shop!! It is a cute shop on the corner. The uber driver dropped me off and I ran in and picked them up and was on my way to dinner with in minutes. Yay! If you need flowers whether you want a fast premade or you want a specific color scheme and theme this is a great flower shop. I recommend. Check it out when in the Windy City!!
