More than seventeen years ago, I designed and created a line of stationery and paper goods called Small Meadow Press. It was born out of my desire to fashion earth-friendly stationery to truly support a woman's daily life….calendars, letter paper, greeting cards, notebooks.

I had to stop in 2009 to care for my dear mom who had Alzheimer's. It has been almost eight years since she died (peacefully, at home!) and I had been pouring most of my creativity into my online offerings. But a few years ago had the desire to be making again. And 2015, I focused on my long-dreamed of planner-The Wild Simplicity Daybook. It has been warmly received, has become the first planner I've used that I didn't toss aside after a short while and will be ever-evolving...

I have a real passion to create beautiful things that serve a woman's life...and at as little cost to the earth as possible. All my papers and ingredients are as recycled as possible, or tree-free, or vintage.

I am in what I call my Rosehip years, done with my mothering and caregiving for the moment and exploring how best to live my life. Some of what I offer here are the tools I've created to live life more simply….some are just for beauty…and some are to help us stay connected and loving and tending our lives as well as we may.

I truly appreciate your interest and hope that you enjoy exploring my pages here….
