A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend...so let me be perfectly clear - I love paper (wrapping, stationary, and tissue). Not enough to unhealthily obsess over it but enough that I will go into any and every store that sells it.
And so it was that on a lunch break from work, I happily discovered a second location of one of my favourite stores. I actually had some cards I needed to pick up for some upcoming occasions so it gave me the perfect excuse to go in.
They had a great selection of cards...found everything I needed and a few I didn't but bought anyway. They also have a fabulous selection of stationary, journals/guestbooks/organizers/etc, wrapping paper/bags/fancy packaging, etc. It did seem to have a slightly smaller selection of ribbon and special wrapping then it's Cumberland counterpart - but that's just based on memory, so don't count that as 100% fact. They also have a nice selection of little gifts for a wide variety of occasions...which came in handy since I realized I should really get a couple of somethings to go along with the cards.
I also wanted to take a moment to compliment the service. I found everything I was looking for but as I was wandering and admiring, I heard several people come in with pretty specific needs and wants and the two ladies working there were extremely helpful, kind and knowledgeable.
I'll definitely be back - most likely to buy some of that fabulous quality wallpaper as I think it'll prove to make excellent wall art when framed!
