This store is one of my favourite places in the city. Remember every year when you would get your list of school supplies? Remember the joy of picking out just the right pencils and the perfect notebook? If you’d like to feel that all over again, walk through the doors of Duly Noted. I dare you to go in and NOT buy something, if only a beautiful new pen, I DARE YOU! I would, however suggest heading over and checking it out. The quality is obviously there and so I would not hesitate too much in buying things regularly or ordering special invitations, but I understand that with major office supply stores and the Wal-Marts of the world, it can be a little more than people want to spend. This is amazing because from what another sales associate said, they can pretty much create whatever you want and make them very unique and beautiful… Since I would not trust myself, or many people I know, to create something for a special occasion like that, it’s nice to know there is somewhere I can go! The price is a little steep. I heard a woman ordering her «Thank You» cards and wedding related items. They had beautiful gift wrapping selection and PENS! I felt like a kid in a candy store… or a pen lover in a stationery store? The other thing I had not realized was that they do custom invitation and event planning things. They had big to small, perfect for anything you were looking for. Filled with beautiful paper and notebooks and anything stationery you could think of! I was looking for a notebook and the choices were very near endless.
Until last week… Now I walked in just to see what all the fuss was about. I have always heard about it, even my sisters have tried to get me to go but for some reason I never ended up there. If you're looking to skip the shipping and pick up your cards locally, you can find most of our designs available at this shop.As bad as it is to admit this… I have only recently discovered Duly Noted. This shop sells them individually, so you can get one of each and figure out what suits your taste without breaking the bank.Īlso, they have the eraser replacements, if you tend to fidget with the back of the pencil while you think like I do.
Most places allow you to buy these pencils by the box, but at around $3 per pencil, it's an investment to get one. They have all three of these pencils, my favourite being the 602 which glides smoothly while you're sketching, no matter how toothy your paper quality. They have every occasion laid out in a dreamy card wall unlike any I've seen before.Įven if you don't need a card, you should visit them for the 'gram.Īnd finally, their display of pens, inks and pencils-which include the elusive Blackwing pencils that I could not letter without. You can also follow them on Instagram to see when they get new pens, cards and gifts.ĭuly noted has an epic card wall featuring local artists as well as big names like Rifle, Red Cap Cards and Emily McDowell. They do tend to sell out quite quickly, so make sure to leave your name and email to be notified when the shipments come in for these beauties. If you need help picking out a fountain pen for yourself or a friend, they have a good selection. I also have a Mary-Kate McDevitt desk jotter from there and can only hope they carry them again this year. They feature a simple system of date and to-do lines that I haven't found anywhere else, with space between the months to keep track of projects I'm working on.Īlong with Rifle Paper products, they carry a wide range of agendas for students, parents, and everyday life. It's basically across from the library, but with the Doyle Building in the way.ĭuly Noted has been responsible for keeping me stocked with Rifle Paper Co. To find this store, head to Doyle Street off of Spring Garden Road in Halifax. My best friend Tabitha works hard with the team to curate a product line that offers high-quality pens, stationery and gifts. The Tree Isn't The Only Thing Getting LitĮven though it was the END of November, she ended up picking up the whole line and her team taught me some valuable lessons along the way about creating designs with my audience in mind.Īlong with helping local artists find their niche, Duly Noted is known for their beautiful boutique.I went home that same day and created 4 Holiday card designs, including: When Nicole-the owner of this boutique in downtown Halifax-saw my lettering on Instagram for the first time, she asked me honestly why I wasn't making cards and selling them wholesale.įor anyone who's dreamed of escaping the office to create designs for products as a living, you can imagine what a huge moment this was. Duly Noted Stationery will always have a special place in my heart as the first retailer to carry my cards.
