Rhymes with Twee - Established August 2005

I'm Leigh Kelsey. Back in August 2005, when explaining to an internet friend how to pronounce my first name, I said "it rhymes with twee". At that time, I was searching for a name for my budding business and as soon as I had typed those words, Rhymes with Twee found its name!

I use my trusty Riso Print Gocco to screen print my original designs onto home and paper goods including greeting cards and tea towels. The ranks of my Veggie Vampire and Fanged Fruit tea towel lines grow yearly.

I also print a line of tea towels called Chari-Twee, where half the sales price for each towel goes to charity. So far, I have donated over $1,000 to charities. My website is updated with the donation total regularly.

My paper goods line includes punny greeting cards, and postcards and labels featuring my photographic pet hedgehogs.

On Instagram, I post a daily make that started with 100 Days of Making and has kept going and going. Follow my journey there!

At Rhymes with Twee, absurdity is embraced. My playful products are beloved by fellow weirdos of all ages.

Gift wrapping and packaging

For gift wrap, I offer a black & white chevron gift bag -or- red & white checked wrap. I am also happy to doodle on and write a gift tag to the recipient.

Just add what you'd like it to say under "Notes to Seller" at checkout.

Care instructions

Baby Items:
Wash with your favorite laundry detergent.

Kitchen Towels:
Wash with your favorite laundry detergent. Do not bleach, as it will remove the natural color as well as the screen print.

Totes:
Wash on cold with your favorite laundry detergent. Do not bleach, as it will remove the natural color as well as the screen print. Hang dry.

Wholesale availability

I love my wholesale customers. Please send me a convo or email leigh@rhymeswithwee.com.

Local Pickup

If you're in Chicago and need an item faster than USPS can deliver it, I live in Logan Square and offer a local pickup option depending on my schedule.

Please message me before purchase to coordinate and I'll create a custom Etsy listing for you.
