The Paperplace

Lovely stationary store up the legal end of town. The paper in this store was astonishing, to the point that it looked too delicate and ornamental to even be written upon. Each A4 sheet costing about $ 2 page they would make incredible invites and letters if you knew what you were doing. There was also a big range of highly desireable calendars and gifts. Like a wax sealing set — very ornate. There was pressure on you as you entered the store to not touch anything unless you were buying and fair enough. If you are a moleskin fan, there was plenty to choose from in the way of small books and diaries. There was also a select range of standard printed fine stationary. I used to love this when I was young, sending pretty letters to my friends and family. Now with the internet I tend to use email, but it was so tempting to buy some stationary just to own. Really took me back to the days of spritzing perfume over love letters before I popped them in the post
