Our elegant, hand-illustrated farmer's market bouquets create fans for life. Customers collect our tea towels, pillows, calendars, greeting cards, and stationery. I buy flowers at our Westport Farmers Market from woman-owned Muddy Feet Flower Farm. My vibrant and cheery drawings are printed on luxury paper with a fine texture and bright finish. We value our local printers and are a proud USA-made company. In a disorienting, digital age, you'll create lasting memories with our hand-crafted gifts.

Our Story
I've always written letters - funny, silly, caring, deep, ridiculous, comforting - and I've held onto the ones I've received.

So after 34 years as a classroom teacher, I decided to do something super hip and trendy - create greeting cards (ha! Can those be micro-brewed?) During the pandemic I found joy in buying wildflower bouquets from a woman-owned business - Muddy Feet Flower Farms - at our local Westport Farmers Market. These inspired me to break out my dusty easel, pen, and colored pencils. As I created more drawings, I wanted to share the brightness with others as a gift, so I made a batch of high-quality greeting cards. They proved popular, so I developed more, and expanded my line to include notepads, stickers, and a 2022 calendar. Spread joy through letters!
