I bought my very first Il Papiro diary ("agenda" as they call it) in Siena, Italy, in 1985, then…read morewas overjoyed when I discovered another Il Papiro (though called Oggetti) in San Francisco on another vacation the following year. Then, by a great stroke of luck, one opened in Los Angeles (where I live) the year after that. For the following decade plus, I would religiously buy their absolutely gorgeous, unique, one-of-a-kind florentine marbled paper creations. Their beauty and singularity inspired me to fill up their pages and write every day. When the Oggetti in LA closed and I could no longer locate any of these fabulous diaries, I stopped writing regularly, for several decades. But I never stopped searching and hoping. It wasn't just the diaries I had purchased there, I also purchased many other objects of beauty in the marbled paper that they sold in their magical shops. But the diaries were so important to me, they chronicled the story of my life, every year a different color scheme. Those gorgeous colors would burst off the front and back covers, and the spine, and were mesmerizingly kaleidoscopic. I absolutely treasured them and they occupied a special shelf on my bookcase. Once Google made its debut, I periodically would look to see if there was an Il Papiro or Oggetti still in existence, but I never had any luck. Until last year. There to my wondering eyes appeared an Il Papiro in NY and Palm Beach!!! I got right on it and requested to be notified as soon as the agendas for the new year came in. The very kind lady I spoke with did just that, and, with great joy and anticipation, I ordered my very first Il Papiro agenda since 1999! Because the dyes are so individual, not every book looks as it appears on the website, so when I received my agenda, although it was beautiful, it wasn't as perfect for my own personal taste. When I called to ask whether I could exchange it, it was no problem. However, like an idiot, I didn't wrap it carefully enough, and it got damaged on the way back. Despite my negligence, they still provided exemplary, above-and-beyond customer service and took the return and sent me my stunning new agenda which I have been so very happy writing in every night, filling it up with all things great and small, wise and wonderful...and some not...I just finished my latest entry, and although it is very late, I thought, "I have to let the world know how very, very much I am absolutely loving being reunited with the most gorgeous diaries in the world after a too-long absence. Especially after how kind they were to me!" Il Papiro's products are always one-of-a-kind. Although I am particularly besotted with the agendas, I would gladly fill my home with many other of their beautiful objects...if I could afford them! Maybe one day...a girl can dream. Thank you Il Papiro for bringing a smile to my face every single day. I can't wait to fill up many more agendas, hopefully with many more magical moments.

BEYOND WORDS - DISAPPOINTED!…read more I was warned, so I can't say that I am the first with complications. A wedding planner highly suggested I order my invitations elsewhere, but I decided to go forward and work with the owner, Liz. Everything started off great with wonderful ideas.... until Liz disappeared and did not return calls or emails until the invitation provider calls her and urged her to return my call. She had an excuse the first time, which I gave her the benefit of the doubt. This happened 2x and the process dragged on for 2 months. The second time I learned my lesson and decided to go elsewhere. Luckily I started my invitation drafts early and was ale to establish a new relationship. Do you know the owner still has yet to return my calls or emails.... PS she was/is physically in the store.

It has been dubbed "the biggest little store in the world," I stopped in during a visit to the Green Market to get a Gatorade and while it was convenient for a quick snack or drink I was surprised see all they had to offer. Among their many items are costume jewelry, greeting cards, Florida souvenirs, seasonal decorations, clothing, and accessories, You can even purchase alcohol. Some of my favorite finds were the mermaid earrings, fall gnomes, and the coastal Christmas ornaments, especially the snowman made of sand because that's how we roll in South Florida. If you have a need on Clematis Street, this diverse store can probably cover it.

Apparently been there 40 years and a real place/event to visit at the foot of clematis street. Used to sell liquor but now a shadow of itself as it winds down to (hopefully) relocation or closing later this year.

By the way flamingo umbrellas all gone already so do not go to see if you can snap one up.

They take in items that would otherwise end up in landfills and make them available to people who can repurpose them. Resource Depot furthers its mission to leave the planet a little cleaner through workshops, events, and community partnerships. Their Pam Sartory GalleRE showcases local artists' upcycled artwork, while the Materials Marketplace and TrewasuRE Boutique offer repurposed items for sale. Their goal is simple yet impactful: provide materials to those who can use them while promoting sustainable practices and creative expression. Over the past 25 years, Resource Depot has kept an estimated 95+ tons of materials out of landfills, all while raising environmental awareness. As an educator with a limited--or sometimes non-existent--budget, a place like Resource Depot is a lifeline. Schools often can't provide enough supplies for students, and what little remains in the resource closet has to stretch for weeks or months. In the thrift area, I found an incredible variety of affordable items: games, holiday decorations, books, home goods, art supplies, faux florals, ribbons, artwork, and more. The paint alone was worth the trip! If you want to see a child light up, just offer them the chance to paint--fortunately, they had the Crayola washable kind I needed. Shopping is flexible and budget-friendly: a small bin is $5, a large bin is $10, and if you purchase eight large bins, you get one free. Teachers also receive a 15% discount on regularly priced items (not bins). These are prices anyone can afford. Resource Depot is truly a gem, and Palm Beach County is lucky to have such a creative, sustainable, and community-focused resource.

After going back and forth it took over a week to finally receive a proof from her. It was so colorful and adorable I couldn't wait to send it out to my guests. When I finally received the invitations they were nothing like what I had approved from the proof. The colors were muted and hard to read. I was so upset. I called the owner to ask her what happened, "These are not the same vibrant colors I approved" I said. She rushed me off the phone, and told me to take a deep breath. She was very rude. I never heard back from her so I called the store back and spoke to her husband. He asked me to email him the proof and a picture of what I received. He promptly called me back and said "Hi, we have something fabulous for you. We pulled up what we sent you and you signed off on and it is totally different. We are going to the printers tomorrow. It will be redone." The next day I received a very nasty call from Sue Ellen saying I had to give her the Pantone codes. This was new to me. How would I know the codes?That is her job. She should have given the codes that I selected to her printer. I went online, found the codes and quickly emailed her all the colors I wanted so we could get the invitations out ASAP! I got an email from her saying "Sorry, can't do those colors! Send back the invitations ASAP or you will be charged!" She has continued send me nasty emails blaming me.
