With their latest release, The Comfort Collection, dropping last Friday, I have decided that Tiny and Snail are more than a little psychic. After all, comfort is *exactly* what the world needs most right now — and as Grace (AKA Snail) and Leah (AKA Tiny) sagely point out, providing comfort is an action, not an emotion like empathy or compassion. We make a decision to put it out there to help someone else.
The sisters wanted this release to be akin to “receiving the warmest hug ever.” And indeed, on their fabulous surfaces, these are cold-weather cards, designed to provide “the little fires that will keep us warm this winter,” as Grace and Leah put it.
But there’s much more to this collection than that. In designing these cards, both Tiny and Snail process the challenges in their own lives in order to help others shoulder their own. “It’s super motivating knowing that the better I tune in to my heart and the more love and time I put in, the better it will be for every person who uses the card and receives it,” Leah wrote.
These two do cards a bit differently than most houses of stationery. Broadly speaking, this collection includes three thank you cards, a New Year’s/birthday card, two thinking of you cards, two sympathy cards, and one tiny (3.5″ x 2″) card to grace a special someone’s gift.
This is such a precious collection, though of course not too precious to put out in the world. Limited edition sets, with one of everything, are $40.75 for now; the Collector’s Edition has two complete sets plus a fabulous limited edition Flying Envelope Mini Print (which sells for $20 on its own) for $81.50 for now; you can also scroll down either page to buy any design solo. Each of the A2s is $5.95; the tiny card is $2.25.
It’s not hard to see why this five-star sister act has legions of devoted fans, and theirs is one of my favorite Instagram feeds. In an over-processed, saccharine world, they are pure honey. Give them a follow, and don’t be surprised to find yourself providing the sunshine in someone else’s cold winter.
