We believe some things are worth slowing down for.
These days, it's easier than ever to send a text, fire off a DM or tap a heart and move on with your day.
But there's something special about taking a few minutes to choose a card, write a note and put it in the mail.
It's a small act of thoughtfulness.
And when that envelope lands in someone's mailbox, it tells them something a notification never quite can:
I was thinking about you.
That's what Stillbay is all about. Making it a little easier to make those moments happen.
Inspired by where we live.
We're lucky to call Yarmouth County home, surrounded by the ocean, forests and wide-open spaces of Nova Scotia.
The outdoors has always been a huge source of inspiration for us, and you'll find that influence throughout our work, from the florals and botanicals we draw to the coastal touches woven into our designs.
Thoughtful by design.
Every Stillbay design begins with an original illustration by Hilary. We then work with Canadian printers to turn those drawings into cards and paper goods we're proud to put our name on.
Being thoughtful also extends to how we run our business.
We use paper with post-consumer recycled content where possible, source locally when we can, and love working with other small businesses and makers.
We don't believe we have to do everything perfectly to do things better.
We just believe it's worth paying attention.
So, take a minute.
Write the card.
Send the note.
Put something on your wall that makes you smile.
Stick something somewhere it doesn't really need to be.
Make someone's day a little better.
That's Stillbay.
A little slower. A lot more thoughtful.
