Notes & Queries

(Maryland) Notes & Queries was started nearly 40 years ago by Alan Harnik, known affectionately as “Big Al” to his customers and friends. The company was conceived in Madagascar, and then nurtured from a small pushcart in Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston in the late 1970's. At that time, Alan was selling handmade cards and crafts from Madagascar and American handmade greeting card artists. The company grew from a pushcart to a basement apartment to an old airplane factory with no heat to a 12,000 sq. warehouse in Baltimore over a period of 39 years. Even now, Alan, along with co-owner and daughter Vanessa, share the same passion for the business he had those 30 plus years ago, and Notes & Queries continues to bring you the very best design-oriented greeting cards and stationery from Europe.
