Occasionally, once or twice a year, she hosts a calligraphy instructor to teach an introductory class. We learned a variety of stroke patterns and dived into drawing bamboo and orchids.

I actually bought a Magic Tree House book because it was bilingual and they had Traditional Chinese characters with bopomofo (alphabet) alongside the characters. I have never seen a bilingual book like this before! They have some cute stickers and cards here too. I also saw a small selection of snacks and condiments like chili crisp. The cashier (who was probably the owner) was very nice! She spoke English and Mandarin.

The display examples in the store showed the amazing range of possibilities and also provided terrific ideas. Tyja helped us with even more options so we could personalize our choices. In the end, each invitation matched the vibe of the wedding and suited the personality of each bride. We have been told many times over by friends that they are keeping the invitation because it was the prettiest they had ever seen! Tyja also helped us with the day-of stationery, and we could not have been more delighted with how each piece turned out. The quality is exceptional. I highly recommend Paper Daisies!

It'll definitely take some time to browse through this place. You walk in and you don't even know…read morewhere to start. I went left and browse all the little trinkets and little things. Then I moved onto the back where the books and figurines are. There is a huge selection and would take a long time to browse through it all. With just a limited amount of time, I moved onto the stationery section. They have a lot of different types of paper and notebooks, pen and pencils, and a display case with a small variety of fountain pens. There is a few of the fountain pens that you can try to see how they write. The sticker and washi tape section was kind of disappointing though. Not a big selection of it and a lot of empty spaces in the washi tape section. I will definitely have to go back and browse when I do have more time.

I wonder if I have enough money to get this too." So it is safe to say that this is a very cool shop. Well-stocked with graphic novels, posters and books, not to mention stationery, collectible Items and tchotchkes, there's something for everyone. Just be careful of the price points.

This is an artist dream. They have probably whatever you need for whichever medium your craft is. My gentleman friend took me on Valentine's Day and I found a fluorescent pink 7mm mechanical pencil. I never knew I needed a pencil so badly. They carry the Ferris Wheel Press inks and a few others but I can't remember the name. Most of the inks cost the same as they would online but you don't have to pay shipping and you can view the swatches to get a good idea of the color you're buying. So happy businesses like this still thrive in Atlanta

HAPPY FUCKING VALENTINES DAY!…read more Yes, I know it's a day late, but I wanted to share what the card said that I gave to my husband yesterday... and guess what? He loved it! (I knew he would!) I ordered the card from the Whimsy Press website and despite the fact that I ordered it on February 4th and didn't receive it until the 14th (luckily it came that morning via fedex), I'm still giving five stars; mostly because Whimsy has such a unique and fun collection of cards to choose from. For example, you can get cards with the following messages: *Shut Up. *Holla *Bite Me. *There are other fish in the sea. *People are stupid. *sonsabitches *You crack me up *Your ex is a fool *You are so darn hot *OMG ... and many more! In addition to the unique cards, they offer more traditional cards, totebags, invitations, stickers, placemats, winetags, wrapping paper, and more. Bottom line: if you're looking for something fun and creative, check out WP!

I'm a total fan!! Well at least for their totes!…read more I was first introduced to Whimsy Press from the website daily home shopping... on there they were selling Whimsy totes and a reusable bottle for a whopping 55 bucks! Geez!!! Now that Palo Alto, CA is outlawing plastic bags, I went to the website and ordered a few totes for grocery shopping. Super cute!! They have these adorable "Green is in" bags... Not to mention they were the exact same ones on Daily Home Shopping and they were priced at $28! Throw in a coupon code for 60% off and I was on my happy way to two new tote bags... Best yet, their order confirmation email is totally adorable... made me crack a smile... These items are currently being paraded around the office like the king & queen of a fairy festival, and the entire Whimsy Press team is chanting, "Hooray for Vicky L". Soon your items will be packed with tender care and whimsically whisked away to your door. Order Summary: XXXXX Thanks for your order! We look forward to merrily chanting your name again soon. How cute is that! I'm sure they're not parading my stuff around but the images of my tote bags being paraded around cracked me up...

I asked a question about the jellycats and they answered. I then checked out after doing another lap and the cashier was so nice. I will for sure come back again next time we are in area.
