Ink + Riddle Order Drop-Off | July 2025

G. E. Gallas

This past Thursday, we dropped off an order at Ink + Riddle in Clarksburg, Maryland! Ink + Riddle (inkandriddle.com) is a really unique and exciting store that carries everything creative — art supplies, stationery, board games, books, puzzles, and beyond. They offer many great activities including story time for kids, 3D printing classes, and creative workshops.

Ink + Riddle is still located in the Clarksburg Premium Outlets, but they recently moved from Unit 432 to Unit 408 (where there’s more foot traffic).

They’ve been carrying our literary-inspired chocolate bars since 2023, and we love visiting their vibrant and intellectually stimulating store!

If you live in or near Clarksburg, Maryland, we hope you’ll go check out this fantastic small business.

 

A Piece by Book Artist Judy Folkenberg

G. E. Gallas

Here at Open Book Chocolates, we can’t get enough of art (whether literary or visual) and creativity! We met book artist Judy Folkenberg this past April at Kensington Day of the Book Festival. She recently sent us the following photographs of a piece she created utilizing our Open Book Chocolates packaging. It’s very exciting to see our packaging revitalized and upcycled in this way. Thank you for sharing your work with us, Judy!

If you’d like to see more of Judy’s artwork, please follow her on Instagram (@judyfolkenbergart) and visit her website: judyfolkenberg.com.
