Setting out the pins…
About
Nice to meet you! I'm Marti. I'm a reader, a wanderer, and a hopeless collector of beautiful places.
I would love to share with you the feeling I have when I enter a cozy coffee shop, an independent bookstore, or a shop with a curated selection of beautiful handmade or locally sourced items. There is something so special about knowing someone poured their heart into every detail.
My Wandering Shelf is a map of these small, soulful places that gave me this feeling, gathered slowly over the years, one trip at a time. No tourist traps, just spots someone actually built with love. I want to support them and show that doing things thoughtfully and intentionally is still the best way to run a small business.
