What the Project Is
FREE DELIVERY ON ALL UK ORDERS, CLICK HERE FOR NEXT DAY DELIVERY. Stationery rocks. The perfect antidote to all this crazy technology that rules our lives these days – the lovely tactile feel and smell of paper just cannot be beaten. This project is dedicated to creating stationery products that intentionally spread joy, colour and positivity while using ethically sourced paper stock and UK based suppliers. It is a celebration of the papery loveliness that delights and comforts in an increasingly digital world… the kind that invites an old-school vibe with a modern twist in every letter or note penned.

- FREE DELIVERY on all UK orders, with an option for next day delivery if urgency is needed (just click the upgrade option, and hurrah, it’s on its way!).
- Orders shipped daily Monday to Friday, ensuring that if an order is placed before 12pm it is included in that day’s drop off.
- Emphasis on quality stationery products that provide a tactile experience unlike any digital counterpart.

The Art of Stationery
Stationery rocks – it really does! The project leverages the charm of physical paper, which offers that wonderful, tangible connection far removed from our everyday encounter with digital screens. The delightful medley of colours, textures, and the unmistakable smell of freshly made paper makes every piece feel extraordinary. There is an innate elegance in a hand-written note or a carefully crafted letter that speaks to those who appreciate not just the functionality but the aesthetic of quality stationery. The project champions this art form, ensuring that each product is crafted with attention to detail and designed to add a splash of joy to daily routines.
Customer and Delivery Notices
Orders are shipped daily Monday to Friday. A friendly tip – if an order is placed before 12pm, it will be included in that day’s drop off, ensuring prompt delivery. For those ordering from the UK and in need of stationery with a bit of urgency, the option to upgrade to next day delivery is available, promising an almost instant supply of everything needed for that creative burst. EU customers, please note that as of July 1st the EU has made changes to tax regulations which means that customers from the EU will be required to pay VAT and/or duties on delivery. This update is only temporary, as a better solution is being sought by the team to make the experience smoother. So, a little heads up when placing an order from the EU – patience and mindfulness are key!
Behind the Paper
Behind every piece of lovely stationery lies a story of passion and creativity. Welcome to the green gables! Helen, the proud owner of the splendid loveliness known as the green gables, runs this creative hub with the support of her two funny boys. Residing in Cheshire, Helen’s obsession with stationery is evident in every product and every detail. Alongside a love for the outdoors, reading, and having a jolly good laugh, her commitment to bringing high quality, ethically sourced products is unwavering. The project embodies this personal touch, resonating with every customer who values authenticity and a personal story behind what they choose to use on a day-to-day basis.
Ethical Sourcing and Local Production
A central pillar of the project is its dedication to ethical sourcing and support for local suppliers, all of which play a crucial role in the process. The approach is simple yet effective: by using ethically sourced paper stock and partnering with UK based suppliers, the project not only promises a premium product but also commits to sustainable and responsible practices. This kind of local production means that every order is not just a transaction but also a contribution towards a larger ecosystem of local artisans and businesses. There’s a spirited charm about the idea that every sheet of paper carries a story of quality, community support, and a shared passion for keeping traditions alive.
The Project Impact
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – by using ethically sourced materials and supporting local suppliers.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – through initiatives that reduce environmental impact by favoring sustainable materials.
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – as the project champions UK based suppliers and creates opportunities locally.
Community and Creativity
The spirit of this initiative is best captured by its vibrant and engaging community of stationery enthusiasts. Every piece of stationery carries the charm of traditional craftsmanship mingled with contemporary design. It reminds one that, in a fast-paced world dominated by digital devices, there’s a warm, welcoming pause offered by paper. This project, with its cheerful customer notices and behind-the-scenes story from Helen at the green gables, invites everyone to explore the deeper narratives found in everyday objects. There is an understated yet dynamic dialogue between creativity, ethics, and practical functionality that makes the experience of using these products almost poetic. The occasional stationery pun and a light-hearted tone provide just the right balance, keeping the process engaging and fun – almost like having a chat with an old friend over a cup of tea. The project’s blend of art, commerce, and community impact stands as a refreshing reminder of the beauty in the mundane, the joy within routine, and the ever-enchanting appeal of stationery.
