MY SMALL BIZ STORY

 About Notes To Self Shop

colorful post it notes

Notes To Self Shop was born from one of the hardest chapters of its founder Amber James's life — a time of deep loss, illness, and isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. (You can read more about that here.) In the middle of it all, she began writing simple, powerful notes to herself like "You are brave" and "You've got this" — reminders she plastered on her walls to get through each day.

Today, Notes To Self Shop is a woman-owned business dedicated to creating empowering books, journals, wall art, and gifts that help others find strength and joy. Our mission is simple: to remind you that you’ve got this — and we’ve got each other.

We also believe in giving back. A portion of every sale is invested and donated to organizations we care deeply about. Thanks to you, we’ve donated to causes close to our heart, including the Mario Lemieux Foundation, Paws Across Pittsburgh, Broadway Cares, Read 718, and more. 

Thank you for being part of this community and helping us spread positivity one note at a time.
