chi sono · about

Le piccole
cose della vita.

"The little things in life." That's what Dear Little Thing means. The slow Italian breakfasts, the lemon trees in the garden, the letter that arrives just when you needed it.

Every month I hand draw something original, write you a personal letter, and send it in a wax-sealed envelope with a sticker and something small and lovely tucked inside. Nothing automated. Made for one specific person — you.

"I started this because I think the best things you can receive are the ones someone made for you."

Every subscriber receives this print inside their wax-sealed envelope alongside a personal letter from Emily.

Item was delivered fast and packaged with care, the artwork was beautiful and looked exactly like my pup! Very impressed.

I recently received a gorgeous piece from Emily featuring my two Boston Terriers, and I honestly couldn't be more delighted with the result. She captured their personalities perfectly; surrounded by the most charming autumnal scene. Emily's attention to detail is exceptional, and the quality of her work is brilliant. The piece is whimsical, beautifully crafted, and genuinely heart-warming. It's now proudly on display in my home, and it never fails to make me smile. Friends and family have already commented on how wonderfully unique it is. A truly lovely experience from start to finish. Emily is an absolute gem, and I highly recommend her work.
