Writer of Sweet Nothings
I’m a painter, printmaker, business founder, crafts teacher, product strategist and ex-city worker (aren’t we all so many things?!) and in the last few years have developed the Sweet Nothings series.
I am thrilled to write a little more, to you, dear stranger, and share these little prints in a new way
I love you x
Dear Stranger Archive Issues are past editions from the Sweet Nothings monthly mail club, a series of reflective artist letters and accompanying artworks created by Emily Grenville-Grey.
Each edition is sent on the 1st of the month, with a reflective letter that explores a different emotional landscape through writing, risograph print, colour, texture, and poetic reflection.
Part artwork, part correspondence, part quiet reminder to pause.
May 2026 reflects on persistence, cyclical growth, uncertainty, and trusting quieter forms of progress. Written amongst changing seasons and thoughts about patience, this edition considers the tension between wanting visible movement and learning to trust slower, less obvious transformations.
This archive issue includes:
One signed Dear Stranger letter
A Sweet Nothing Risograph Print
A Sweet Nothing Risograph Greetings Card
A tea or treat
Carefully assembled paper ephemera
Flat packed protective packaging
Originally released as part of the Dear Stranger Mail Club, these archived editions are now available in limited quantities.
The Dear Stranger project was created as an antidote to speed and overwhelm — something tactile, reflective, and human to arrive in the post.
Perfect for:
Poetry lovers
Meaningful gifting
Creative inspiration
Slow living enthusiasts
Gallery walls and studio spaces
People navigating change, transition, or creative growth
