However it was the discovery of an old
box in the back of her mother's desk,
bursting with papers, envelopes and
cards, that really brought home to her
the importance of putting pen to paper.
Here in writings was the stop-start
recording of her own birth in the form
of a telegram. “Born. Today. A baby
girl. Mother doing well. We are all
delighted “. A letter of congratulations
from a bossy aunt, a floral card written
in the shaky hand of her beloved
grandmother. Here too were letters home
to her parents from her former
schoolgirl self; the disastrous stay
with the French exchange, the postcard
home from a trip to the lake district.
Here were invitations, the order of
service to her own daughter's
christening. In her little sisters
childish handwriting, a thank you letter
for the tennis racquet, the Christmas
money, the Sunday lunch……
From this encounter with the past, was
born the idea of HoneyTree. Lizbeth
excitedly got to work, creating
hand-drawn and coloured illustrations,
motifs and designs, whilst her husband
Sebastian began to work on the
intricacies of building a website where
it was possible to create something
truly personal.
No detail was spared, from the beautiful
and varied designs to the papers and
envelopes. But Lizbeth and Sebastian
both feel that the most important part
of the stationery is still the blank
space, the space where the birth is
recorded, the thanks is given, the
congratulations written, the hope for
the future, the acknowledgement of the
past.

you long before you’ve even read the
first word.
Our passion is in helping people to
really express their true
personalities through paper.
Whatever it is you want to say, our

Cards, we have two passions –

"Our customers choose stationery as
a way to express themselves, their
style and their personality. It
conveys their culture, displays
creativity and most of all - it's
personal." - Lizbeth Holstein,
artist and co-founder of HoneyTree.
