Bookending Winter 2020 is finally here! I am so excited to meet some new bloggers and fellow storytellers during this event! If this is your first time here on my blog (hi! Hello! I’m Sam!) and you don’t already know what Bookending Winter is, its a month long event in December that was created by myself and Clo @ Cuppa Clo where we aspire to bring the bookish community closer together through the platform we love the most–blogging! Each day throughout the month, we have different prompts from different hosts that participants can replicate! I am so excited to check out everyone’s posts and prompts as we get more into the month as our hosts this year are dishing out quality content! You can also catch me smiling from ear to ear as I get to meet all of you on your blogs and on our Twitter (@bookend_events if you haven’t followed, you totally should!) page!
Also, don’t forget that we have a blog hopping masterlist! The list features all of our participants and those who are participating in Bookending Winter can put their post links next to their name for easy blog hopping! Can’t wait to see all your amazing posts! And with that, let’s get into today’s prompt from the lovely Clo @ Cuppa Clo!
-TODAY’S PROMPT-
Supporting Small Businesses
Shout out your favourite small businesses for book lovers! Whether its book sleeves, candles, clothes, pins or something else – the sky’s your limit with the amount of love you can share for small businesses. I encourage you to boost ones you’ve already bought from, so you can share photos of your items BUT it’s of course entirely your choice. I will be sharing the love for all small bookish businesses I’ve bought things from, as well as including information with regards to where they ship to 
One of the things I have been trying to do better at this year is supporting small businesses! I don’t know many (but this prompt has helped wonders for me to discover new ones!) but here are the few that I have truly loved so far!
JeiPop
Run by my very good friend, Jeimy, on Etsy; this shop sells some the cutest stickers I have ever seen! The quality is 10/10 and her artwork is chef kisses. Specializing in Kawaii Illustrations and Bookish Goodies, Jeimy does a stellar job bringing things to life in sticker form. I usually use stickers solely for my laptop shells/cases and for random spreads in my junk journal; and recently Jeipop! stickers have had several highlighted moments in my monthly spreads.
Shop Location: USA
Shipping: USA only
Dreamy&Co
I LOVE LOVE this business! Their book sleeves, pins, and tote bags make my heart swoon and if there wasn’t a thing called bills I’d probably spend all my money here. Super quick with procession and communicative when/if they run into any problems with an order. They are truly my go to store for bookish gift giving!
Shop Location: USA
Shipping: Worldwide
EvocaitArt
Okay so I may have an obsession with stickers but, Caitlin at EvocaitArt feeds my sticker addiction in the best way possible. I love getting my bisexual pride stickers (as well as buttons!) from her store! Super high quality vinyl stickers and her color palette is so vibrant and bright, it appeals to my fun and energetic side in the best way possible!
