The Paper Source
For years, people who love paper and personalized stationery have worked the Web or trekked to Chicago to visit Paper Source—until now. The company recently flung open the doors of its first St. Louis location, at the Colonial Marketplace. The store carries quirky gifts, personalized papers, place mats, party paraphernalia, and more. And for do-it-yourselfers, the store sells kits and supplies, in addition to hosting how-to workshops. 8811 Ladue, 314-881-0473, paper-source.com.
