How to Change the Elastic for Midori Traveler’s Notebooks

January 13, 2016 by wonderpens 6 Comments

We’ve been missing the elastic on our display Passport Brown Traveler’s Notebook for the shop for a while now, and finally, in a spurt of inspiration and productivity, I replaced it. I think the elastic broke because people who aren’t familiar with the Traveler’s Notebook try to put the elastic back on the cover vertically, … [Read more…]

New (Regular Line) Midori Products

May 6, 2015 by wonderpens 8 Comments

We just had our first home-cooked dinner here last night (i.e. frozen pizza and a can of soup), and Jon has set me up with a place to hook up my laptop and get to work. Super has peed on every tree around the block, so it’s like we’re home again. It’s busy and hectic … [Read more…]

Just a reminder that we will not be hosting our monthly Letter Writing Club this December! This season is always a bit crazy for us. We will miss hanging out with you all, but trust you will remain strong in your Christmas and holiday card efforts.

I always thought I was a dog person until we got Chicken, our shop cat. He is everything a cat is known for: by turns aloof, affectionate, unimpressed, playful, willfully ill behaved, sweet, demanding, obnoxious, hungry, picky, and completely unknowable. He has been disdainfully educating me on what it means to be a cat person, harasses the dog regularly, and remains the most popular member of our shop team.

Cat lovers rejoice: with me, you can now ponder all of life’s mysteries and questions with feline advice. from a tarot deck of the ultimate in cat characters. Who else could truly understand and direct a cat person’s life but a cat?
