Meet Hilary 

Hilary Meehan wants you to trust & find all the magic edges of your radiant being! 

Small Business Operator & Now Owner for 0ver 15 Years

Louie Award Winner - 2025 - Fairy Cardmother wins Superbly Stated

Named one of Stationery Trend’s “10 Makers to Watch” for 2024

She’s developed a line of enthusiastic & encouraging greeting cards to help share this with the wild & fancy weirdos who need to hear it most.  After almost 2 years of operating under her own name & with a “no holds barred” aesthetic, Hilary took a pause to marinate upon the growing cacophony.  It was then that Mirthos Paper was distilled into the tonic you now enjoy.

Mirthos is a word created by Hilary from the word mirth, of course, and paired with ideas of pathos, logos, and ethos - pathos, in particular.  Indeed, Hilary is a word nerd as much as a paper nerd.  “Mirthos is like pathos - but on the happy side - please use excessively”!

Travel, design, cooking, art, self discovery, and delightful surprises are foundations in Hilary’s life.  A true Taurus, Hilary loves indulgence and beauty.  Greeting cards are a delight to send & receive - and they are an accessible indulgence, too.  Lavish is right there in our tag line - Lavish, Eccentric & Earnest!

Hilary loves inspiring & gorgeous places.  She spent years working in architecture & sometimes still does interior design projects.  The space of writing a letter or note on a card is special place, too. Hilary loves creating beautiful & wild containers for written connection, aka greeting cards!

Mirthos suggests gathering all your favorite pens, markers, pencils & stickers to start.  Find a comfy spot with good lighting & a good surface.  Bring along a snack or beverage to help you relax into the right mindset.  Really, writing a card is a moment with yourself that you share across time with another person.  This gift of your time & presence is part of the joy in a card. Mirthos cards arrive like jewelry for your mailbox!

Hilary wishes you ferocious gentleness & ebullient heart pounding elation & everything you ever want to come true so long as it makes the world a better place - especially for women!  XOXO.
