​We offer a boutique experience for literary lovers and anyone looking for something a little different with our very own greeting card line—designed, printed, and crafted in our little studio in Metro Atlanta, curated books for both children and adults, paper & novelty gifts, kimonos that tell a story, hand-picked tees, and more. From literary giants Jane Austin and Edgar Allen Poe to modern-day artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, we have a little something for everyone. Thanks for stopping by—we hope you'll stay awhile.

We have so much more to show you!

About Me

I am an Atlanta based business owner and writer. A few years after the loss of my two oldest sons in a car crash in 2017, I decided to step back from my role in corporate America and have been freelancing ever since. 

​

Throughout the changes in my "day job", I've also been building my little business behind the scenes—unsure of where it would take me or how it would evolve.​​

​

The Graceseeker

​

The Graceseeker has been a labor of love in honor of my boys and was my first venture in 2019—it has continued to transform through the years.

​

I'm excited to announce that The Graceseeker is moving to Periphery Mill and becoming its own collection (and more!), known as Grief & Alchemy.

Periphery Mill

​

As an avid reader, I have been in love with old books my entire life. It's an honor to touch such delicate treasures that have been held by many hands throughout the decades and survived to still tell the story—beloved paper-filled pages that carry lifetimes within them.

​

My love for books is rivaled only by my love for trees. The beauty in them, the fragility, the strength. Paper is born from trees—so in a way, it seems they are one and the same.

 

A few years ago I began dreaming of creating my own greeting card line and last year that dream came true. Inspiration comes in many forms and I find it every day—whether through grief, love, friendship, or pride in being a woman, wife, and mother.

Modern. Day. Magic.

​

Welcome to Periphery Mill.

​​​I look forward to creating a little MAGIC together.
