Write the note.
Send the love.

Written Graciously aspires to revive the lost art of handwritten notes, with a true love and appreciation for well-crafted and designed stationery in all its forms and textures.

Meg and Mary

“It all began with my mom drawing faint lines across the paper to guide my penmanship and her encouragement to compose heartfelt notes. This gratitude practice eventually stuck…just like my lifelong (or incurable?) weakness for novel paper products, cool writing utensils, and the perfect postage stamp!”

Written Graciously's roots are in Northern Virginia; however, our story began in London where our passion for stationery grew exponentially while working together overseas. After our relocations back home to Virginia in late 2022, the Written Graciously dream took flight with the aspiration of reviving the lost art of handwritten notes and encouraging young and young-at-heart writers to Write the note. Send the love.

Meg & Mary’s Story

“Since I was in first grade, I have loved writing letters.  Handwritten notes are in my blood.  My mother was a prompt and careful note writer, always the right card and right sentiment at the right time.  One of my favorite memories in college was finding a weekly note from her in my mailbox.  This is an art and a way of communication that expresses so much from the heart.”

Meet the artist

Aurélie Baudry Palmer, a French, London-based artist (@homedrawn21) with a passion for history, architecture, and whimsy, hand-paints bespoke illustrations for an international clientele. Our paths crossed in 2018 (thanks to a serendipitous meeting at the Columbia Road Flower Market in London!); many meaningful personal and professional collaborations soon followed and continue to this day. We are honored to commission Aurélie to create the unique, watercolor  artwork featured on Written Graciously products.
