Musing and poetry from the bone-deep.

Searching for magic & meaning—notes from my writing desk & beyond. A space for seekers of everyday beauty. 💫

Lovely and lyrical, Small Stories offers moments of grace, beauty, and everyday magic. Plus Laura and I do a regular letter exchange which you can read once a month on our alternating Substacks.

A weekly newsletter about home & small spaces, personal style, and lots of vintage from the founder/former editor of Refinery29 (and a self-described thrifting maniac😎). Welcome🥤.

Having thrifted with Christene, I can personally recommend this Substack that explores the stuff we surround ourselves with to create a sense of home.

the written world

By alix e. harrow

a monthly-ish email reflecting on something i’ve read or seen and what makes it so great, with a charming dash of self-promotion.

As a writer, this is my aspirational Substack. Alix is brilliant every time!
