Stationary Shops

Some of my favorite shops to grab a new notebook or ephemera dir my journaling practice. I love Japanese stationary as well and these shops hold lots of fun imported goods.

Goods For The Study is an amazing store to get hard to find notebooks, sketchbooks, fountain pens and inks. As well as tons of other goodies. The staff is super helpful and nice.

Book Shops

I prefer small used bookstores to grab a new book. These are my favorite places to grab a worn in copy or even a 1st edition of your favorite book. Also included are my favorite places to buy independently published zines.
