Feather Lettering is a beautiful, funky marriage between modern paper products and vintage preservation.

The past has always been a part of my life. I grew up in a 100-year-old house surrounded by antiques, with artistic parents who loved the designs of past decades. A creative person myself, I’d always dreamed of being a writer. When my author career ended in heartbreak, I desperately searched for a new creative outlet. I found calligraphy.

I was inspired to start lettering on vintage paper after flipping through crumbling books in an antique store. Growing sad thinking about old paper being forgotten in an attic, rotting away, or (horrors!) tossed in the trash, I impulsively decided to letter on some pages. The reaction from early viewers was immediate and strong, and Feather Lettering was born.

My pieces are for people who love a vintage feel and embrace the aesthetic of the past, but don’t want a dusty look. I create eclectic art and related items that inspire others to seek out and appreciate the past while decorating in the present. I want my customers to be as bold and unique as my designs.
