In a world that glorifies busy, this collection chooses stillness. The Joy of Missing Out isn’t about absence—it’s about presence. About trading the fear of missing out for the quiet satisfaction of opting out. Of choosing slow, choosing quiet, choosing what truly matters. That philosophy runs through every part of the collection. It was created as a visual deep breath—an invitation to pause, to unplug, and to make space for meaning. The mood is reflective, yet grounded; calm, but never passive. The Joy of Missing Out is more than a collection—it’s a mindset. Use it to document slow mornings, quiet thoughts, and the beauty of choosing less.
Inside, you’ll find painterly papers in rich hues of teal, moss, plum, and lilac—some layered with dried florals and gentle textures, others more graphic and bold. The elements include a varied mix: illustrated girls in quiet, reflective poses, a typewriter-style alphabet set on round brads, flowers, buttons, various ephemera, decorative word art, typewriter sentiments, birds, tickets, frames, ribbons and more! Together, they offer a tactile, expressive toolkit for journaling the quieter, more meaningful moments.
