These Made Our Day
Hosting a launch like we did last week had been extremely fun. This time, we finally catch up with the faces behind each online order and email. Some of them had only been a loyal customer at Dharmawangsa, and finally get the time to catch the place where everything came from.
Just a day after, we received Dyah Ambarwati’s pictures when she put together all her Tulisan collection and have her own Tulisan Day.
Kaho also dropped a comment to say hi today. She had been visiting our booth at Dharmawangsa and had received two of our Personal Note Cards handpicked by her husband for her birthday some time ago. Happy birthday, Kaho! We hope to see you around. (You really should check her blog. Its stories and picture which are beautifully capture as well as being highly informative for expatriate in Jakarta. Oh, and did we mention that it comes in English and Japanese.)
A Letter from Aniza Santo
I started Tulisan, in my journey to rediscover myself. So, I feel honored when people come to share their stories on how Tulisan have helped them to to rediscover their true self. Tulisan has been a way for me to transfer my energy, and in some mysterious way, the energy reach back to me like this one from Aniza Santo.
Hi Melissa,
I stumbled into your blogsite today and I’m really inspired with your work.
In a weird way I’m also doing the same thing where I try to create illustrations to the short stories, thoughts & poems I’ve written the past 10 years.
Last November I resigned from a high stress job due to creative burn out. I wanted my soul, my creativity, my life back. For some time I’ve just been an everyday wanderer trying to figure things out or in my words: an aimless being floating amidst the clouds conversing with the sun and moon.
I literally love talking to the clouds and sky… I believe it’s my home up there.
The last 2 months I’ve been going through my writing and exploring some illustrations ideas to make a book. It’s one of those things you don’t know where it might take you but in your heart you know you have to do it. My journey is just beginning and stumbling into your work gave me a boost like an arm around your shoulder saying “It’s good, it’s possible. Do it!”
I’m inspired and grateful.
Thank you,
Niza

Dearest Mbak Didi and Melissa,
The beautiful bags we bought yesterday were presented to birthday girl Julisa Tahija (19) this morning when she came to visit Baby Riyana. Our message in the note card we also got from you read:
Happy Birthday Kakak Julz!
From diaper bag to college tote, each catch-all in between tells a story about that chapter in our life.
May Amma Supahillo accompany you on this wonderful journey of discovery and learning…
She carries with her our prayers that you are happy, safe and blessed with all that is good and gracious.
She will be there scribing poems as you study late at night.
She will be a friend and help lighten your load.
Keep us updated on your life happenings and joys!
With much Love,
Rindra, Rivan (Ipang), Baby Riyana and Tante Tya
Julia and mom Laurel were enthralled to hear about your story, Amma Supahillo, and your wonderful boutique. They plan on visiting themselves soon!
Rindra thoroughly enjoyed her visit to your boutique yesterday and in the car commented, “It’s clearer now after visiting what can I do with my art…not just painting…:
Again, thank you for being so talented and inspiring.
‘xoxo
