Exciting news & giveaway!

 

I’m happy to tell you all that my boyfriend and I are planning baby number 2! Well, it will be #2 for me, but #1 for him. You know, modern family and all…

 

I can’t wait to be pregnant again and hopefully this will be a quick, painless process! (Baby making activities are usually pretty fun, so I’ll try not to complain too much if we don’t conceive right away.) Louis-Justin will be such a wonderful big brother, I can tell. :)

 

This is what I looked like when I was pregnant!

This is obviously good news for me, but it should be good news for you as well! Why? Because my studio / office will become the baby’s bedroom and I’ll have to move my stuff out of the room within the next few months. I won’t close La Papierre, but I’ll be working from my bedroom, living room and possibly kitchen table in the future, which means LESS SPACE for all my stuff. My inventory is pretty big, so I’ll have to reduce it by half in the coming months. How will I do this? By putting some items on clearance every once in a while. (Stay tuned – specials will be announced later this week.)

 

In the meantime, I’m looking for baby name suggestions, so let’s do a giveaway! Martin and I like Clémentine for a girl, but can’t find a name that we both like for a boy. Please help us out! Just write as many names as you like in the comments (for boys and girls) and be sure to include your email address, because I’ll select at least two people and will send them stationery surprises in a week or two! Any names are welcome (Martin likes Scandinavian ones), but it’s even better if they can be easily pronounced by French speaking people.

 

So, what should I name my baby?!

Hello!

My name is Julie and I'm 33.
I live in Québec (close to Montréal) and I speak French.

I write letters, I love stationery and I have a handwriting fetish. I often eat sushi, still feel like I'm 16 and only wear skirts & dresses (with colorful tights when it's cold).

I'm happier with a mind full of ideas, a mailbox full of letters from my penpals, a shop full of stationery, a house full of cats and a day full of hugs.
