Inspired by Nature
Remember a time when you went to the mailbox and spotted an envelope with your name on it. Not junk mail or bills but a something handwritten from a friend or loved one. A smile spreads across your face as you open it up and peek at the message inside. It is this feeling of love and connection that fenlea paper co. hopes to foster.
Our products are created using a mix of old and new technology, block printing and digital illustration. Inspiration is drawn from the natural beauty of Manitoba; from the boreal shield, the inland sea and the wide open prairie sky. Beauty is all around us. We hope that our products inspire you to connect and share with those around you.
fenlea
Our name fenlea paper co. represents our connection to nature and was created by combining the words fen and lea, two types of landscapes. A fen is a low and marshy, while a lea is a meadow or pasture. For us it encapsulates memories, memories of simpler times and connection with others. Memories of waking through the woods with friends, staying up late to watch a meteor shower or watching the storm roll across the sky.
