Walking down Fraser Street, you may have passed the windows of The Nittany Quill decorated with beautifully designed, hand-made cards, wedding invitations, and framed quotes. The talented artist Joy Rodgers-Mernin has been the owner of The Nittany Quill since its start in 1984, after she and her husband returned to State College from Boston. The store is filled with Joy’s hand-made paper products, charming printed journals, pens, and even paper earrings. What started out as a small art supply store on Fraser Street is now a business offering an intimate experience with beautiful artwork created by Joy, as well as many other items carefully selected by Joy for her customers.
