Coming Soon
Attention New England readers -
Printessential officially has wheels and is soon to be on the road!
I am so thrilled to announce that I have recently purchased a trailer that will be converted into a mobile book store! With a little bit of TLC, I envision this 20-year old transporter to become the cutest little pop-up shop. Once it’s officially off the ground, I’ll be traveling New England towns, markets, fairs, and parks with all kinds of bookish goodies.
A photo of the trailer on the day I bought it - excitement doesn’t even begin to cover it!
After absolutely SCOURING Facebook marketplace for months and months, I found a listing that was just 10 minutes from my house. After work, I brought my mom and my stepdad to check it out with me and was absolutely shocked at it’s size.
I’m so thankful my stepdad came with; he ensured it was safe and in good enough condition for what I was looking for. We spoke with the owner, Heather, who was an absolute ANGEL and agreed on a price that night! A few days later, she was hooked up to the truck and on her way home!
After I’ve completed the transformation this spring, I have so many places I want to visit! Local beaches, markets, fairs, pop up events - I’m planning on keeping my weekends booked and busy. Make sure to sign up for my newsletter and follow my social media in order to be notified where and when this little book store is headed! The list below is just a few of the places I’m hoping to stop in

Let me tell you, I am VERY proud of this little blueprint I created. Anyone who works as a builder would probably ask me what the hell this is, but as long as my boyfriend and step-dad can see the vision, we’re looking golden.
I’m currently researching the best and safest way to install shelving/storage/flooring. Fortunately, the interior is all wooden panels, allowing the building process to be much simpler, so I’ve heard.
For the longer wall on the left, I’m planning on floor to ceiling shelves. The back right wall will have a smaller book shelf, just before the door. On the other side of that door, I am envisioning a small counter space that will be utilized for checkout and some hidden storage.
