O What A Feeling

“Quirky & colourful paper products proudly designed and handcrafted in Great Britain!”

Shop Announcement:

Order before 3PM today for guaranteed delivery in time for Father's Day! Today all Father's Day cards purchased before 3PM will be shipped via Royal Mail Special Delivery which will arrive by 1PM on Saturday.

Lockdown measures and staffing shortages are resulting in many of my order taking at least twice as long to arrive. For UK destinations, please allow 5+ days for delivery (and 7+ for buyers in Scotland and Northern Ireland). Please allow 20+ days for orders to international destinations (USA/Canada/Australia/Europe etc) to arrive. But do get in touch if you have any concerns about your order!

Warm wishes and stay safe!

About O What A Feeling

O What A Feeling

Playful paper products featuring quirky illustrations and hand-lettered expressions!

Pleased to meet you!

We're O What A Feeling: Textile & Paper Goods Co., an art studio specialising in cheerful stationery and quirky surface pattern designs. Founded by Gillian Lake-Thompson in the spring of 2015, O What A Feeling now makes its home at The Yard Studios in Winchester, a shared artist studio. Our cards, notebooks, calendars and art prints are illustrated and hand-lettered in our Winchester studio and then digitally printed onto luxuriously thick FSC-certified paper at Sarsen Press, a local, independent print shop here in Winchester. Our greeting cards are all packaged in biodegradable sleeves.

We ♥ Instagram! You can find us there @owhatafeeling sharing daily studio news and glimpses into our design process.

We have recently ventured into the exciting world of wholesale! If you are a shopkeeper with a lovely shop of any shape or size and would like to stock our cards, please get in touch! You can also view our wholesale catalogue, our generous trade policies and sign up for our super special stockists-only newsletter on our Stockists page at www.owhatafeeling.com/stockists

Gillian graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Textiles & Fashion from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in Canada, followed by an MA in Textile Design at the Winchester School of Art in 2014. When not folding cards and running to the post office to post orders, she can be found doodling in her sketchbook, pulling weeds in her allotment, baking sourdough bagels, watering her 30+ houseplants, looking at dog videos on Instagram and learning how to rollerskate.
