Thank you for visiting Ramble and Relic Paper Co.!
This small business is run by Natalie, a lifelong stationery addict. She makes everything on the site by hand at her home studio in South Carolina.
Natalie's love of all things paper, scrapbooking, design, and stickers started young. She started her first journal in the 4th grade after being inspired by the Little House on the Prairie series. From there, she has always had journals, notebooks, and stickers everywhere in her house.
When she was in college and graduate school, Natalie worked in an adorable stationery store in Charleston, SC, where she served as the invitations specialist. She worked with brides and grooms as they picked out the perfect invitation suites for their weddings, and with parents planning their children's next birthday parties.
It was in this job that Natalie really dove into the art and science behind stationery. Because of it, she can still spot the Minya Nouvelle font from 100 feet, and can tell the difference between different paper weights with just a touch.
Natalie leveraged this knowledge into a writing job for About.com (a now defunct website that served up helpful info on a wide variety of subjects) when she became their invitation and stationery writer. In this capacity, Natalie shared her knowledge on journal sizes, paper weight, engraving, embossing, thermography, and calligraphy.
Even her decade-long career as an English professor allowed her to indulge in her love of stationery as she picked out new school supplies and teacher planner each year.
Ramble and Relic is the result of all of these aspects of Natalie's career and experiences, and she hopes that the products that you'll find here will bring you joy within your own stationery collection.
