Welcome!

The Small Things is a newsletter devoted to finding joy and inspiration in the every day. We use words like “curate” and “elevate” here unironically.

I’m Phoebe Tully, a lifestyle writer and ex-editor who has been published in delicious., The New York Times Style Magazine Australia, and Broadsheet. I’m also an entrepreneur, and run an online course called Build The Right Business for creative freelancers. You can find me on Instagram (@phoebetully) if you haven’t already.

I’m based in Brisbane, Australia with my partner, who runs a wine bar, and my two rescue dogs, Frankie and Sky.

What do I get as a paid subscriber?

Paid subscribers will received 2-3 updates from me each week, including the much loved Life Curriculum series each Sunday, which suggests something to do, make, read, watch and listen in the coming week.

You will also receive the Biased Guide series each month, a shoppable and highly opinionated round-up of things to know, own and do according to me. Guides include things such as home bars and fridge essentials.

These posts are researched, curated and written with a great deal of care. I hope you’ll decide that it’s worth $8/month to receive – that’s less than $1/post.

What do I get as a free subscriber?

Free subscribers receive a themed mood board at the start of each month with 10 or so links to things that fit that theme. You’ll also receive my fortnightly (or so) Open Tabs series, which is a lightly curated links round-up.
