I grew my business during the height of hustle culture and I burned out.

For years, I ran English Tea Paperie (formerly exclusively a wedding stationery business) in the fast lane. It looked successful from the outside, but inside, I felt overwhelmed, overworked, and creatively depleted. Like so many women, I poured myself out in pursuit of excellence and left myself, well...empty.

Today, my work is rooted in the belief that art isn't just something we hang, it's something we live.
 
What began years ago as a love for paper, poetry, and wedding heirlooms has quietly evolved into something more personal: a lifestyle brand devoted to romanticizing the everyday. Today, my offerings reflect a slower pace, where creativity, rest, and meaningful details guide the way.

Beauty isn't a luxury.
 
And life? oh, Life is ART.

Here's what you'll find in this little corner of the internet:

FINE ART
Collections

My paintings are released in small, heartfelt collections a few times a year. Some are made into prints. A few become cozy pieces of merchandise. All are made with love and a hopeful reflection of life as it is: imperfect, beautiful, blooming anyway. 

The
RESET HUB

A gentle invitation to reset your mind, clear the noise, and reconnect with what matters. This space includes my signature Clear Mind Journal, seasonal rituals, digital downloads, playlists, and soft structure for the creative woman craving clarity and peace.

ANTIQUE FINDS
& Styling Kits

Curated one-of-a-kind pieces and styled treasures I find on my antiquing adventures: antique dishes, vintage stamps, and more. Whether you're a photographer, stylist, or romantic collector, these heirloom-quality items are chosen to inspire beauty in the details.

Originally from London, England, but with the help of some camp eyes and a sweet boy from the South, I now call Richmond, Virginia, my home.

Living in a little cottage on the corner with my husband and daughter,
I spend my days creating a beautiful life with intention; unhurried in appreciation and curated with purpose, rather than rushed and heavy like the many years I lived before.

Whether you're in a season of burnout or blooming, I hope this space feels like a soft place to land. 


To reset. To feel seen.
To remember that your life is allowed to be beautiful, right now.

With love,
