Anyone ever buy from Paper Source?

[Rachelrose]

Just wondering. Thinking of buying some stuff from them, but never have before.

I have not bought from their catalog, but I have been in one of their stores, and it is definitely drool-worthy. They sell a lot of pre-made stationery, fun gift items, some rubber stamps, cardstock, and many handmade and other specialty papers that would rival any company's "designer" papers. Check out their website so you can check out a store near you or when you're traveling:

The website is where I am thinking of ordering from. There's no store near me (there are no stores that sell much in the way of stamping supplies of any kind within 5 hours of me!) I didn't realize they were a chain. I am going to go ahead and order from them. Thanks!

This is high quality stuff, RachelRose. I'm always pleased with what I've ordered from their catalogs, never been in their stores. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

[Rachelrose]

Thanks, Bahb. :-)!

I love Paper Source! There is one near me and the first time I walked in, not knowing at all what it was, I almost cried. They have wonderful papers and gift-y things and things you didn't know you needed until you saw it on the shelf. They have classes, too, and I always find a sample or two on their boards to CASE. Very reputable company.

I'm 5 minutes from a Paper Source. Love the place. It carries a lot of wood mounted stamps, which I don't buy, but I love the paper. Way too much. I'm sorry Holtzfan finds it snobby. Since I'm older, I definitely notice that almost all retail has younger staff, unless the store is targeting an older market.

Paper Source is targeting folks who aren't crazy obsessed crafters, but folks who want to make baby shower or wedding invites or wrap up a pretty gift. The occasional crafter, who frankly, has no clue how nuts this hobby is. and those tend to be younger women. So the staff is younger. But I find them quite nice (although really, they don't know as much as we do!! LOL)

I've been to Paper Source stores in Chicago and San Francisco- found them both to be full of all kinds of interesting gifts, stamps, wonderful papers and just cool random stuff. Lots of fun browsing...and I did buy a few things. Their calendars are really lovely.

Been to the ones in Princeton NJ and Brooklyn NY. They were very nice and friendly to me. I like it when the employees are excited about the products. I love their card stock for special projects like wedding invites. Very sturdy and high quality…however… you could go broke shopping there.

I ended up ordering from them. Looking forward to receiving it.

I actually bought stamps from them. No paper.

I visit one when I visit my Mom. I love their paper. I've always found them nice and pleasant. I don't need them to know more than I do. But all that awesome paper just makes me drool.

I love PS, I've been to the one in Princeton, NJ... they are pricey and sometimes I splurge and buy wrapping paper there... I like to graze for ideas walking thru their stores; I find spending time there inspiring without my wallet taking a hit. I feel the same way about Papyrus .

I've been to their Westport, CT store and had an enjoyable experience. Picked up some lovely papers that I have used on cards. They remind me of Kate's Paperie which I also like, but doesn't have as many "giftie" items as Paper Source.
