Welcome to Sharon’s Compendium, where you’ll find goods and discourse of a practical, informative, and sometimes amusing nature.

Click on “Shop” above to browse and perhaps buy goods such as zines and chapbooks, note cards and greeting cards, the Useful Calendar, and occasional other things. I still have an Etsy shop, also called Sharon’s Compendium, which holds some goods that I don’t yet offer here (that is, bookplates). I will eventually close the Etsy shop.

“Observations” include musings, intel, news, and whatever I’m learning about or working on at any given time. So, really a blog, but with a different name. The first post is about why I launched this website.

 “Also This” is the catch-all for everything else you might want to know about Sharon’s Compendium, like contact info, a little about me and what drives all this, where to find my goods besides here, and any other random info I haven’t thought of yet.

Sign up for my somewhat monthly email newsletter below (or on the checkout page, if you’re going there anyway). Please use the contact page for questions and feedback. Thanks for visiting.
