About Penpaling Paula

Penpaling Paula is a one-woman-owned stationery business based in Spain. My name is Paula and I'm a 30 year old Spanish woman, mommy of a beatiful baby girl named Olivia and stationery designer. I started my business while living in Dublin in 2020, but now I'm back living in my hometown, Oviedo, Spain. I studied Engineering at University, but life has led me into more creative paths. I started sending letters and collecting postage stamps when I was 7 years old, thanks to my great-grandmother, who was a philatelist. I stopped for a while, but when I was 18 years old, my grandma passed away, and something inside me told me I had to start sending letters again. I did and I opened an Instagram account to document my journey. After a few years I started designing stationery to fulfill the needs of the snail mail community and nowadays I dedicate myself full time to my stationery business. All the products you see in the shop are designed by me, with the snail mail, journal, and planner communities in mind. Some are made through exclusive collaboration with worldwide artists, and others by licensing artists' designs. Postcards, notepads, stickers, washi tapes... are only a few of the products you can find in my shop. My dream now is to stock my products in shops all around the world, could you help me fulfill it?Read their story
