Paper-Ya on Granville Island - Beautiful Papers and Treasures from Around the World
 

I'm not writing it down to remember it later, I'm writing it down to remember it now, with FIELD NOTES

     
Inspired by the vanishing subgenre of agricultural memo books, ornate pocket ledgers and the simple, unassuming beauty of a well-crafted grocery list. Always keep one in a pocket, or purse to have ready for your inspired thoughts. Sit back on the beach and jot down a love poem to the sunset, or design your get a way home in the woods. Or simply for making the grocery list and to do list. 48 pages, and durable with saddle-stiched binding.
 
Here's a quote from a satisfied Field Notes user:

"I've tried lots of different small notebooks. Field Notes are the best ones I've found, small and thin enough to really have with you all the time, in a shirt or pants pocket. I've carried them for over a year, and my small notebook is used every day for ideas, shopping lists, account numbers/passwords (coded, of course), design sketches, references.

I am now laminating the covers with simple self-seal lamination sheet to lengthen the life of the cardboard cover."

--John C. Moore

These little critters are going to delight your soul. Paper-Ya's Pick o' The Day 06 July

An American customer dropped by our store yesterday desperately looking for gifts for his 2 children back home. His criteria was simple: bring home locally made unique presents for his children. Imagine his delight when he found two gifts that matched his criteria perfectly: a plushed red-haired lion that reminded him of his red-haired son, and a plushed baby seal that reminded him of his cute little daughter.

These little plushed critters will certainly delight any soul, young & old. Meticulously made by hand in Vancouver by Thistle Town Studio, each critter is unique and not mass produced. Guaranteed to deliver a smile to your face :)
