The newest Shop Trail stop, straight from the camera roll.
updated every Monday!
Every episode of the Shop Trail visits one independent bookstore or craft shop, celebrates it on camera, and turns the finds into junk journal art you can keep. The leftovers? They become mystery scrap bags you can shop.

I believe the best souvenirs are stories: the dollar paperback with someone's name in the cover, the receipt from a shop run by the kindest stranger, the ticket stub that ends up glued into a journal page. Novels & Nonsense is my invitation to collect stories with me, one cozy little shop at a time.
come say hi on the trail!
