my new fave store.




In 'Old Town' Alexandria, VA last week, I accidently stumbled on the Paper Source. I was outside their store window, taking a photo of their fun paper garland project when curiousity BEGGED me to wander inside. Low and behold, I entered into a crafty, paper HEAVEN. I wanted one of everything but somehow my will-power brought me home with a moderately full bag-o-goodies.

I treated myself to new rubber stamps and gifts for friends. Since I find their wasp logo irrestible, I MUST go back for their bug glasses.

After checking out their website, I found no stores in New York state. (boo). Guess I'll have to sign up for their catalog instead.

oh yes Emily. It is true, that is a WALL of fun, colorful paper. I couldn't resist snapping a pic.

The Paper Source has cards, envelopes, stamps, kits, invites, journals, YOU NAME IT. And it's all super-duper FUN.

There's a few in MA too...

The name sounded familiar; but it's not the one Aunt Tina and I shop at in Chelmsford... Which is really a big Hallmark type store.
