We loved popping up beside and Don and Margot. They sold homemade bagels and told us their touching story of bagel-making as a father-daughter bonding activity. Swipe to see the haiku art we created for them and they immediately displayed it! Thank you, Don & Margot! The bagels were delicious too

Hi, we’re Amanda & Courtney — the duo behind Spirited Ink Studios. Somehow… it’s been ONE YEAR 😱 since we started mixing words + watercolor 🖋️🎨
In our first year, we:
💖 Hosted 21 events (markets, pop-ups, workshops, and private gatherings)
💖 Expanded into poetry art workshops & private events (DM us if you’re curious!)
💖 Created more than 50 custom poetry commissions - 4x6 art pieces and bookmarks
💖 Launched our Tiny Truth gacha machine - our take on a haiku fortune cookie, with a fun surprise
A few things people ask us:
- No, we don’t do tattoos (the “ink” is from the typewriter 😉)
- No, we don’t have a physical studio… yet 👀
But, yes really:
- Yes, it’s a real, working, vintage typewriter
- Yes, every piece is truly one of a kind (we’ve tried replicating it and it doesn’t work)
- Yes, we write and paint live on the spot
We’d love to collaborate on:
✨ Private events
✨ Workshops & creative experiences
✨ Pop-ups & vendor markets
Looking ahead to 2026 with so much gratitude. Thanks for being part of our story - let’s make something beautiful together.
📩 DM or email us to collaborate!
