OUR BROOKLYN FLAGSHIP
In a tech-obsessed world that’s spun a little bananas, putting pen to paper feels like a small, lovely rebellion. A market list, a love note, a wild idea — writing slows us down and reminds us to live with intention.
Our ever-curious muse, Mr. Boddington, wanders the world collecting paper treasures — notebooks, cards, pencils, books, and vintage gems. His quick wit and effortless style shape our creative mischief and keep us inspired.
Here in our new Brooklyn flagship, we still believe in the magic of real life — saying hello to neighbors, stumbling upon something delightful, escaping the chaos of online everything. Our shop is meant to feel like a deep breath: beauty, humor, and nostalgia all under one roof.
So go on…toss your phone into the sea and write to someone who matters.
TOSS YOUR PHONE INTO THE SEA
About twenty years ago, Rebecca Ruebensaal called upon her childhood imaginary friend, a globetrotting gentleman named Mr. Boddington, to start a small business devoted to paper. Her parents were dizzy with worry.
In its early years, Mr. Boddington created engraved and letterpress invitations for picky yet impeccable brides in Manhattan. Eventually the business evolved to offering hand-illustrated greeting cards, stationery, books and globally-sourced and vintage desk accessories.
Most recently, Courtney Ebner, a retail specialist and founder of Norman & Jules, teamed up with Rebecca and the team to open our new Brooklyn flagship. Together, with Mr. Boddington as their muse, they’re reimagining paper and the charm of old-world shopping.
Books to tots, tweens, teens & adults
Handpicked by Mr. B, with a few strong opinions and excellent taste.

Every few weeks, Mr. B shares pages from his personal dispatches. In them, you might find illustrated histories of very random things, sketches of new patterns and clever observations about the world. Take a peek here or signup to receive them in your in-box.
