Simone Gonzalez is the sole creator of Australian stationery & design brand, St. Thistle. We love the elegant letterpress cards and patterned notebooks in her shop. The creator writes this about the brand name:

“St. Thistle is all about those wonderful new directions that arise from those shady paths which we can sometimes find ourselves on. The notion of a spectacular grace as a by-product of adversity, brought to our lives when we least expect it.

So keep your head about you when you tread on those thistles; keep love in your heart; and you will discover that sometimes that hardship was a mere signpost pointing to a brighter and better way.”
