I have little to no experience with these new artsy stationery-type stores, but I really enjoyed my visit to Ink Meets Paper. My mom and I were warmly greeted when we walked in. Their actual "store" area is fairly small because most of the building is where they actually design and print their products. They also work with another company creating felt stuffed animals/creatures and I believe both companies do all "manufacturing" in this building, so the small shop space makes sense.
Overall, I really loved their designs. The note cards I saw were very cute and classy. Some were trendy but I appreciate the good mix of styles (and it's much better for business to have a mix). I got a few Christmas cards as well as a "mystery bag" which was $10 for 5 cards. I got a great selection of cards in the mystery bag so it was a great deal. One thing I really hate about a lot of new stores, including this one, is the lack of prices on display. They had some prices on packaged sets but I couldn't find any for the individual cards. I think they were probably a little pricy, based on my total checking out. However, if you want to grab a few cute cards and support local business, this is probably the best place around! read more
