Some memories deserve more than just being remembered.
Hi, I’m Ashlee
I run Rather Delicate, a keepsakes studio built around meaningful words and the moments they hold.
I love giving meaningful gifts. The kind where there’s a story behind it, or something small that actually means a lot. It’s always been how I show love to the people around me.
Calligraphy became the way I expressed that, turning those thoughts and feelings into something tangible.
how it started
Before all of this, I was creating pieces for weddings. Writing vows, signage, and small details that became part of someone’s day.
I got to be part of so many meaningful moments, even in a small way. Over time, I started noticing how much those words meant beyond the day itself.
And slowly, Rather Delicate grew into something more.
Today, Rather Delicate creates keepsakes inspired by meaningful words and the memories they hold.
Made with care
Every piece starts the same way, by hand.
I write each design in my calligraphy style first, then refine it until it feels right. From there, it is translated into embroidery or engraving and finished piece by piece.
I pay a lot of attention to the details. Probably more than I should. But I think that is what makes it feel personal.
Why I do this
Because I get it too.
A lyric that reminds you of someone.
A date that means everything.
A few words that bring you straight back to a moment.
Being able to turn that into something you can keep is the part I love the most.
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.
-Taylor Swift
