Kokeshi Cuteness!

April 14th, 2012

The past long weekend was a very leisure one. For me that means lots of time to write letters. These notecards are cute both in front and in back. Accompanying them are tiny tags that are perfect when tied with twine to a little care package. (I tied one to a box of Earl Grey tea for a friend.)

In addition to letter-writing, I’ve been going to the movies, biking around town (without a scarf!), daydreaming about ice cream and falling in love with the new stamps that Canada Post has in store for spring.

Gorgeous New Patterned Kraft Papers from Nepal!!

April 13th, 2012

We recently received a large restock shipment of our beautiful Nepalese papers.  We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with our supplier to create custom colour combinations just for us.  I was inspired by one of our existing papers that was printed in a chalky white on a kraft coloured background and decided to have some other patterns printed in that combination.

We are very pleased with the results.  We added some turquoise/kraft coloured patterns into the ladder for a bit of colour – what do you think?

Budding Artists on Display at The Paper Place!

April 11th, 2012

The Kid’s Collage Challenge was an enormous success for the 3rd year running!  We gave kids from the Queen West area bits and pieces of our Nepalese, Japanese and other decorative papers and asked them to give us back something spectacular.  They rose to the occasion and the result is inspiring!

Thank you to everyone that participated. Check them out until the end of April.
