Maeve Hawthorne

​Maeve grew up in a drafty, book-filled Victorian home on the outskirts of a misty coastal town, where she spent her childhood climbing ancient trees and listening to local legends. Her deep appreciation for history and tangible storytelling led her to pursue a career in book binding and conservation. ​Nowadays, she runs a small, independent workshop tucked behind a local botanical garden, spending her days delicately repairing water-damaged spines and collecting forgotten local folklore. The silver pendant she wears was an antique market find—rumored to have belonged to a 19th-century botanist, though she simply loves it for its intricate craftsmanship. When she isn't elbow-deep in leather glue and archival paste, you can find her sitting on stone garden walls with a pocket notebook, sketching autumn leaves and laughing easily with anyone who stops by to chat.
