About/Mission

My love of all-things-stationery keeps pulling back to having an online shop! I think this will be the third Notegeist launch. This latest version is definitely bigger, better, and more exciting to shop. 

Notegeist's past customers know I love finding the eclectic and unusual, along with customers enjoying great deals on the major niche brands they love: Blackwing, Field Notes, Japanese stationery, and more. To that group I've added Lochby, Otter Blotter, Ugly Books, Viking, and more.

Notegeist's Mission

This shop is less about bottom line, and more about providing a place where my niche-market customers can find quality goods at fair prices. My customer-first attitude shows in many ways, from the personal touch to each order to my willingness to adjust orders after the sale to my policy of refunding excess shipping in the few times Shopify's shipping algorithm goes wonky.

I'm not in this for the money, but rather the passion of finding cool stationery goodies to share with like-minded stationery lovers. It will also soon be an outlet for my personal creative pursuits as I develop the bindery portion of Notegeist to bring customers handmade, quality and paper goods.

What's New

New this time is a tie-in to a merch table at regional pen shows. 2024 plans include five shows around the Midwest and east coast. And as states, a deep dive into custom paper bindery work.

To keep up with shop happenings and pen show appearances, I recommend you sign up for the Notegeist mailing list. You'll then be knowledgeable about stuff before the public hears about it. That "early bird" approach pays off.
