I horde paper and stationary products. I have boxes of Thank you cards, invitations, notebooks, writing pads and much more. I get all romantic about paper and think of all the wonderful, meaningful, and thoughtful things I would write if only I had the right card or paper. Essence du Papier carries that paper, and so much more. In fact, it is one of the rare places that I can find pretty much the entire collection of Semikolon products! And I LOVE Semikolon notebooks, their accordian filers, and other accesories. They have delightfully bright color collections, smart hardcover notebooks, and booklets of cute flags and so much more. The Place Ville Marie is quite large and I can spend hours browsing all the displays. They do offer some services too, like designing wedding invites and even gift wrapping. That all said, this is a treat spot for me, because it can be a tad pricey.
