5 out of 5 starsKate is one of the best sellers ever. I’ve lost count of how many orders i’ve place lol. The book selections are great, and she has the BEST stickers. Even her packaging is amazing. And she’s a gem of a human. Highly recommend!

5 out of 5 starsAnother fun purchase from Kate! I’ll wait a while to unwrap and reveal the book. Enjoy the mystery for a while as it sits at my desk.

5 out of 5 starsThe shop owner actually sent me the wrong book by accident. But they were really accommodating and immediately messaged me when they realized their mistake. They sent me the right book without extra charge which was greatly appreciated. The book I did receive was a good choice. It was in great shape and was a recent publication which I really liked!

Attic salt and literary curiosities from the desk of Uncle Kate.
Greetings. Thank you for visiting my shop and checking out my story.
My name is Kate (she/her) and I've been selling on Etsy for 15+ years. This shop is not only a passion project but it is my full-time job. It shines the spotlight on some of my greatest loves - reading and writing.
I have always been an avid reader (I grew up with Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, and Gertrude Chandler Warner). I wrote (very bad) poetry as a child and as an adult I write short stories in the surreal/magical realism vein. I also have a novel I've been "working on" for many years.
It is important for me to showcase women and queer creatives, so all of the books you see in this shop are written by women and non-binary authors.

Please check and double check your work. I am not responsible for items lost or returned due to errors in the shipping address. Should your parcel be returned due to a typo on your part, you accept fault and will be charged for shipping a second time.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE NOTE. The cost to ship non-machinable items abroad comes with a hefty price tag. This is beyond my control, as USPS shipping rates have quadrupled since I first started selling on Etsy. Forgive me, and forgive the post office.
If an order is sent back to me, the order will be refunded (minus shipping). You can re-order if you wish, ensuring the mailing address is correct.
When parcels leave my hands, I cannot be held responsible for reckless mail couriers or beasts roaming in the night. However, if your items arrive damaged, send me a photograph and we will find a remedy.
