The Shop

Things worth keeping.

Gift baskets, candles and art carrying E.W. Lee's words, pieces written only for you, and the tools of the writing life.

Gift baskets

A gift, gathered.

Curated crates from the E.W. Lee line: a candle, a journal, a pen, the House mug, and small-batch treats chosen to match each mood. Every basket arrives sealed with the dragonfly and carries your message.

I · Keepsakes

Words you can hold.

Candles, canvas, calendars, cards and the House mug. Every piece carries a line from the work or a scene from the House.

Products shown are design previews. Final photography and prices arrive when the Shop opens.

II · Commissions

Written for one person.

A poem for an anniversary, a letter you could never find the words for, a song for a first dance. Each commission is written by E.W. Lee himself, so places are limited every month.

How a commission works

From your story to the page.

  1. Tell your story. Names, the occasion, the details that matter, and when you need it.
  2. Reserve your place. Payment, or a deposit for Grand Commissions, holds your spot this month.
  3. E.W. Lee writes. You'll see a draft, with one round of revisions on Bespoke and Grand pieces.
  4. It arrives. By download, with printed and sealed pieces sent by post.

Your story stays private. Nothing you share is ever published, and names are never used.

III · The Writer's Desk

What's on the desk.

A short list of the tools E.W. Lee writes with, each chosen because it will still be worth using in ten years.

Fountain pen

A pen for long letters

A steady nib and a little weight in the hand. The pen that wrote most of Our World.

Coming soon
Leather notebook

For the Notebook

Soft leather, thread-sewn pages, and paper that takes ink without bleeding through.

Coming soon
Cotton paper

For letters worth keeping

Deckle-edged, heavy, and slightly warm in colour. The paper every For her... letter begins on.

Coming soon
Bottled ink

A dark brown-black

Warmer than black, quieter than brown. It looks like a memory on the page.

Coming soon
Sealing wax

Deep red, for closing

The last step of every letter. Pairs with the dragonfly seal.

Coming soon
Brass desk lamp

For after midnight

Warm light, a heavy base, and a shade that keeps the page in its own small room.

Coming soon

Some links on the Writer's Desk earn the House a small commission at no cost to you. Makers will be named when the Shop opens.

Questions

Before you order.

Does E.W. Lee write every commission himself?

Yes. Every Signature, Bespoke and Grand Commission is written by E.W. Lee. That is why places are limited each month.

Will my story be kept private?

Always. What you share is used only to write your piece. It is never published, and names are never used.

Can I request changes?

Bespoke and Grand Commissions include one round of revisions. Signature pieces are personalized versions of existing work.

What rights do I receive to a commissioned song?

You receive the song and lyrics for personal use, including playing it at your wedding and sharing it with family. Full terms are provided before you order.

Can I meet or speak with E.W. Lee?

The House keeps the author's private life private, so commissions are handled in writing. The words are where you'll meet him.

Do you ship internationally?

Digital pieces can be delivered anywhere. Shipping for printed keepsakes will be confirmed when the Shop opens.
