Hi, we’re Tasha and Leigha, sisters and lifelong friends who believe that the simplest gatherings can become the most cherished memories.

Tasha is a stationery designer in Southern California who delights in baking cookies, sipping coffee, and creating pretty paper goods. She started AmpersandInk with an Etsy shop and a simple mission: helping people celebrate love, life, and family in meaningful ways.

Leigha lives in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where she creates content for local wineries and small businesses. A morning coffee enthusiast (and evening wine appreciator), she also pours small-batch beeswax candles into reusable cocktail glasses, paired with cork coasters and recipe cards.

As sisters, we grew up crafting imaginative ways to make ordinary days extraordinary—hosting surprise “date nights” for our parents, turning the living room into a cozy restaurant, movie theater, or even a bed-and-breakfast. Those playful celebrations are some of our favorite childhood memories.
