It's an excellent video! It was fun to hear her echo many of my own ideas as well as to learn things (like freezing ink!). I'm 72 years old, and I can well remember when stationers looked like this shop. How I miss them. The only way to properly purchase a pen is to feel it in your hand. I wish her continued success.
I love Madison Page from which I’ve purchased several fountain pens, ink and paper products! Shelley is amazing. She got me into Twisbi Eco. She had a white one and I had to have it. I purchased Visconti, Peneider, Platinum and Lamy fountain pens as well as matching inks there! Good location if you work downtown! She also carries lovely accessories for any pen hobbyist. Great video, thanks.
Fantastic interview & beautiful, well-organized store! 😍❤️ Thank you both! 🙏 I wish we had more physical stationery shops in Ottawa… I end up buying most items online at “Midoco” or “Paper+Cloth”.
@@StationeryAt4 in the south (London) there is a number yeah but in the more northern towns we have very little options for "traditional" stationery stores.
Shelley is the best! Her ink swatches are fantastic, and her knowledge of inks is really, really standout!

Thanks for the great feedback. Warm wishes
Fantastic video! Shelley was charming, and you asked great questions. 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Atlas Stationers in Chicago is in the middle of corporate Chicago. It does so well there!
I've heard so much about Atlas. I'm going to have to check it out at some point...

Cool. That is very different video from the usual ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoy this style of video, I think it gives us a new and interesting perspective! Also your videos make me want to visit Calgary lol
Glad I'm sparking envy for Calgary stationery shops! lol. Hope you're doing well. Take care and have a wonderful day!
This was such a great video!! Even my husband was engrossed and he doesn’t do stationery/pens.
That's lovely to hear! Glad you guys enjoyed it!
I wish i had a store like this local to me in the UK 😊
Really? For some reason I had it in my mind that stationery stores would be prevalent through out the UK. Is that not the case?
