About Us
Welcome to The Chaotic Bookshelf 📚
Hi there! I'm Brooke — the Chaos Gremlin behind The Chaotic Bookshelf, a woman owned bookish merch shop merging my love for reading and creating art to bring the whimsy between the pages into the real world.
Based on the outskirts of the Southern Highlands, NSW
Our Story
Both art and reading have always been a huge part of my life, so when I was searching for a way to merge the two together to bring to the community, The Chaotic Bookshelf was born.
Why The Chaotic Bookshelf though? Well, living inside my brain is pure chaos. I can't pick a genre or an art style. I love to dabble in every aspect of both reading and art, so pigeon hole-ing myself into a single subsect was only going to cause me mental pain (thanks ADHD). Embracing the chaos of my bookshelf allows me to explore in whichever direction I want to go while still tying back to the love of reading.
What We Make & Sell
Everything at The Chaotic Bookshelf is drawn, designed and curated by me:
- Bookmarks — because dog-earing is a crime
- Vinyl stickers — for laptops, water bottles, and anywhere else that needs a little bookish flair
- Kindle inserts & charm chains — to make your reading setup as beautiful as your TBR pile
- Blind Date With a Book — pre-loved books wrapped in mystery, paired with bookish extras. The perfect gift (or treat for yourself)
The list of items is ever expanding, and I love to hear your suggestions too. So if you want something we don't have, feel free to let me know!
For the Love of Reading
We believe books are better when shared — and so is the joy of finding the perfect bookmark, the sticker that just gets you, or a mystery read that surprises you. The Chaotic Bookshelf is a little corner of the internet for readers and art lovers alike.
