The Collector’s Library — A Life Well Lived

The Collector’s Library — A Life Well Lived

by Fred Ferguson in Scrapbook

At Every Little Something, we’ve always believed that the things we surround ourselves with should tell a story — of beauty, thoughtfulness, and how we choose to live. Our Collector’s Library is a reflection of that belief: a curated selection of design, décor, and lifestyle volumes that invite you to slow down, pour a drink, and enjoy the art of living beautifully.

Each book in this collection was chosen not simply for how it looks, but for how it feels — the way a linen cover catches the light, or a photograph draws you into a world of color, texture, and elegance. These are the kinds of books that live on your table or in your hands, inspiring you to make your home a little more intentional, your gatherings a little more special, and your moments of quiet a little more meaningful.

There’s a rhythm to life in Middleburg that celebrates heritage, taste, and connection — a pace that values good conversation, fresh flowers on the table, and time spent with people who make you feel at ease. The Collector’s Library captures that essence. Within its pages are timeless lessons on decorating with grace, hosting with charm, mixing a perfect cocktail, and living with character and calm.

These are books to gift and to keep — thoughtful tokens for a new home, a dear friend, or your own collection. Each one is both an object of beauty and a source of inspiration, chosen to elevate the everyday and remind us that the smallest details often bring the greatest joy.

Our Collector’s Library is more than a bookshelf. It’s an invitation to live well, give thoughtfully, and celebrate the spaces and moments that make life artful.

Sweet and Kind: A Little Brand with a Big Heart

Sweet and Kind: A Little Brand with a Big Heart

At Every Little Something, we’ve always believed that the best things begin with heart — a note, a gesture, a small act of kindness. That same spirit lives on in Sweet and Kind, our in-house brand created by our owners’ eight-year-old daughter, Millie. Following in Her Mom’s Footsteps Growing up surrounded by creativity, color, and calligraphy, Millie has watched her mom, Nicole Ferguson, turn ideas into beautiful stationery and keepsakes that make people feel special. Inspired by that same joy of creating and connecting, Millie wanted to start something of her own — something that would help people remember to be sweet and kind to one another, every single day. Handmade with Heart What began as a table full of beads and bright imagination quickly grew into a thoughtful collection of one-of-a-kind handmade bracelets, each made by Millie herself. Every piece is colorful, unique, and designed to celebrate individuality — whether it’s worn by a child, parent, or friend. Recently, Sweet and Kind has expanded to include handmade bag charms, bringing even more ways to wear and share positivity wherever you go. Each item carries Millie’s simple but powerful message: that kindness never goes out of style. Giving Back to What Matters From the start, Millie wanted Sweet and Kind to do more than just make something pretty — she wanted it to make a difference. That’s why a portion of proceeds from every Sweet and Kind item will be donated to the Middleburg Humane Foundation, supporting their mission to care for and protect animals in need. It’s her way of combining creativity with compassion — proof that even the smallest hands can make a big impact. A Brand for Dreamers and Do-Gooders Sweet and Kind isn’t just a bracelet company. It’s a reminder that creativity has no age limit, and that kindness is always worth sharing. Every bracelet and bag charm is handmade with love, designed to spark smiles, encourage giving, and inspire others to follow their hearts — just like Millie did. ✨ Shop the Sweet and Kind collection and join us in celebrating creativity, compassion, and the beautiful reminder that kindness can start with something small.

Introducing Our First Exclusive Apparel Collection: The Middleburg Crewneck

Introducing Our First Exclusive Apparel Collection: The Middleburg Crewneck

Every Little Something was born from a love of the written word — the way a letter can tell a story, a monogram can carry meaning, and a design can capture a moment in time. Now, that same spirit of thoughtfulness and artistry has found a new form. We’re delighted to announce the launch of our very first exclusive apparel line, beginning with the Middleburg Crewneck — a design inspired by heritage, handcraft, and home. A Tribute to Middleburg Set against the rolling hills of Virginia’s Hunt Country, Middleburg has long been known for its timeless grace — a place where tradition meets quiet sophistication. From its cobblestone walks and historic inns to its storied equestrian roots, Middleburg embodies a lifestyle that values beauty in simplicity. The Middleburg Crewneck celebrates that legacy. Designed by our owner and stationery designer, Nicole Ferguson, it features a custom crest and “Middleburg” written in Nicole’s signature calligraphy — a delicate, personal touch that reflects the same artistry behind every piece of stationery we create. Everyday Elegance, Thoughtfully Made Soft yet refined, the Youth Middleburg Crewneck was created with comfort and style in mind. It’s perfect for school mornings, playtime in the park, or cozy weekends at home — a wearable keepsake that grows with the memories made in it. Each piece is an Every Little Something original, blending craftsmanship, comfort, and community into one timeless design. The Beginning of Something New This launch marks a special moment for our brand — expanding from paper to pieces you can wear, each designed to honor the same values that inspired our first handwritten note: care, character, and connection. Our Middleburg Crewneck isn’t just apparel; it’s a love letter to where we live and to the people who make this town so extraordinary. 🛍️ Explore the full collection here.

A Rare Find: Vintage About Blanks Notebooks — Find them at Every Little Something

At Every Little Something, we’ve always believed that stationery is more than paper and ink — it’s a story, a memory, a beginning.

What Makes These Notebooks So Unique About Blanks is a brand celebrated by stationery lovers for its smart design, quality craftsmanship, and understated style. Vintage editions are rarely sighted in the U.S., especially in small batch form. Right now, our shop is among the very fewin the country offering multiple vintage About Blanks notebooks.

Bringing Middleburg Heritage Into Play Middleburg has a rhythm and a grace all its own.

That sensibility is mirrored in our selection of stationery. The presence of these vintage notebooks in our shop feels entirely fitting: they belong in a place that honors legacy, craft, and attention to detail. For Writers, Artists, and Keepers of Story If you journal, sketch, dream, or plan — if you’re someone who believes that the right notebook makes all the difference — these vintage About Blanks editions will resonate. We imagine the quiet scratch of pen on quality paper. We imagine the delight of finding the unusual, the unexpected cover, the rare edition, the notebook that stands apart.
