About Beaulongings

Meet Kim Bevan, founder of Beaulongings – a joyful paper goods brand built on creativity, connection and craft. Beaulongings makes cards, stationery, love letters and prints inspired by creative play, childhood and the everyday moments that matter most.

The name comes from the idea that “beaulongings” are things that belong with us, not just to us — treasures that hold meaning and spark memory.

Kim’s love of post, paper, and keepsakes has been lifelong. Now, through Beaulongings, she creates beautifully designed objects and DIY ideas that help others tell their own stories, send love, and celebrate the ‘stuff’ of life.
