Local Fairhope Artist, Diane Holdsambeck, has been designing and creating fine art stationery since 2009. Watercolor is her favorite medium to paint with and her design aesthetic has a whimsical feel. She and her family live in Fairhope, Alabama and have been enjoying the warm coastal life and small town charm since 2015. Diane has a loving husband and three children…and two pet lizards!

Fairhope Edition is a small family business and it all stemmed from a spontaneous idea to design a Christmas wrapping paper specifically for Fairhopers to enjoy! To create a design inspired by the beautiful surroundings and charming town they call home.

In 2020, two joyful wrapping papers were introduced to Fairhopers! “Christmas on the Pier” and “Lighting of the Trees”. Christmas on the Pier features symbolic Fairhope imagery including Henry the pelican, the pier, the rose garden with water fountain, a sailboat and one of the many cute little book "stands" seen throughout the lovely city. Lighting of the Trees features the iconic clock and Fairhope's Annual Lighting of the Trees Celebration. And this, was the beginning of something spectacular!

Many fell in love with the unique product, as the beautiful watercolor had an artful feel and the paintings were full of intentionality. Fairhopers had an immediate connection to the artful paper. The Fairhope inspired wrapping papers were so well received, that they made a reappearance the following Christmas!

2022 marked our third Christmas season and it was time to welcome a new cheerful wrapping paper design (“Christmas Downtown”), as well as establish this website where everyone can easily view and shop online! This journey will continue to blossom, as the product line expands to include more unique items, as well as “all-season” items (non-holiday themed). There will be much for you to enjoy throughout the year!

We are especially excited for our 1st “everyday” wrapping paper design, which launches today on September 18, 2023! Please welcome “Jubilee on the Bay”, a fun and joyful design inspired by jubilees. A jubilee is a natural phenomenon that occurs in only 2 places in the world and Mobile Bay, Alabama is one of those locations!
