The Giving Ink, Llc

The Giving Ink, LLC operated two retails shops, Honey Paper and The Giving Ink in Santa Barbara County. It started with a line of creating cards, dba Butterfly Design Studio, which sold card nationally. It grew to incorporate a successful business designing and producing custom invitations and event details, under the dba Honey-Paper. Founder and President, Michelle Juliet Castle, embodies a desire to connect the hearts of people through handwriting, illustrations, and a renewed interest in a slower form of communication. Our shelves and on-line shop are filled with items to inspire your correspondence. We offer a curated selection of high quality products from around the world, including Michelle’s original watercolors, maps and illustrations, which are printed individually on high quality paper at our boutique in the beautiful Santa Barbara County. The benefits of incorporating the handwritten note into your professional and personal relationships are many and our selection includes items you can share with others and create meaningful connections. Under The Giving Ink, Explore Maps was launched, which was a comprehensive physical map and directory of The Santa Ynez Valley
