Shelly was attentive to my tons of questions about the process.

The proprietress of this place is Linda Carpenter. But don't call her that. In my humble opinion,…read moreher title should be "the Paper Whisperer." Let me back up a second. I had a bunch of odd shaped invitations that came without envelopes. It was getting down to the wire, and I started to panic a little. After looking up stationary stores on the internet, I found Yours Truly. I called and reached Linda. She didn't have the kind of envelopes I needed, but she said she could order them. Then she offered a slew of ideas for ways to make my invites fit a standard envelope - thoughts that may not have bought her my business, but were super helpful. I really appreciated that. The next day I went in anyway, since she had been so helpful over the phone. Linda remembered my call, and immediately took me over to her sample book to present me with options. (Oh, by the way, she has the most adorable, sweet dog, who hangs out in the shop.) We chatted and discussed for a while, and I was about to order the envelopes when... Linda remembered some sample envelopes from her private stash that she had in the back. They were lovely. She and I counted them together, and it was enough! She then offered to sell them to me at a discounted rate (33% off from what ordering the envelopes would have cost), and of course I took her up on it and am very happy with the results. Not only was the shop lovely (with the cutest Goldendoodle pup ever), but the owner went out of her way to help me out of a jam. That, I will not forget. The fact that Linda was so accommodating and sweet made the experience pleasant, when I'd normally be stressed. I am going to recommend Yours Truly to all my friends, and I'll be back, should I need anything else.

Aisles are clearly marked with genre so you can find your favorites quickly (or ignore the signs and browse everything!). I also loved the jar candles near the front counter, which have lids but you can take those off to smell the candles. Any of them lean toward a perfect "rainy day with a cup of coffee and a candle" vibe. Staff was friendly. The whole shop gives a very inclusive energy and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Parking is a challenge; find a parallel-parking spot down the street. (If you're familiar with the Elmwood area that will not be a surprise).
