And omg the doggo is so cute! She's this 2 month old sweetheart puppy and I think you should go to this store just to say hi to her~ The shop is full of really cute items, made by various different artists and small businesses around the country. There are a lot of house decor items, stationary, kitchen goods, and more! I ended up buying a couple cute greeting cards as well as the most beautiful strawberry tea towel. The owner was very friendly and nice and I'm so glad I checked out this store!

Caroline not only has a warm and bubbly personality who genuinely cares about each individual client - she's also an exceptionally talented artist who gave our invites extra flair with custom artwork! From concept to final product, the process was seamless with Caroline - she had fantastic recommendations, was responsive to our requests and suggestions and was also cost-sensitive when needed. My partner and I have only positive things to say about Caroline and highly recommend her wedding invitation services.

They do have a great pen, pencil, stationary selection. And their single folded cards are unique…read more I was on the hunt for wedding thank you cards and ended up buying their yellow thank you card set. The problem is that the envelope is transparent and you can read the card through the envelope. Simple trick I was advised from the shop would be to buy a darker envelope or a folded card, but why even sell something that is clearly flawed or just cheap. I wasn't able to return it because I had already written on one card, but I'm not really able to use any of these in a serious manner. The whole point of a handwritten thank you card is that you're going the extra mile of respect, consideration and effort. And the point of an envelope is like any other gift wrapping; it's decorative, it's part of the presentation and at the very least should offer privacy. I found it all a bit bizarre, even surprised at my own passion for high quality envelopes (or rather at the absence of standard quality envelopes). They have such good taste in everything else and I want to support a local business. Main point, I hope they improve the quality of their envelopes so they're not see through.

The shop normally doesn't open on Sundays, but it was open for a special stationery tour event so our party capitalized on this opportunity and stopped by the store on Sunday afternoon. [Parking]: No designated parking spots and paid street parking is available on S. De Lacey Ave. [Selection]: The store sells Korean washi tapes, cute stickers / posters, matcha tea sets, tea bags from Teapond, tape dispensers, enamel pins, pens (Sarasa Clip, Kire-Na), notebooks, journals, fountain pens, stamps, etc. There aren't too many pen options here, but the store offers a curated selection of brands from Pilot and MD Product drawing pens. During our visit, the staff offered complimentary Yoku Moku cigars and a small bottle of water which were a delightful surprise. [Conclusion]: Personally this is one of the best stationery shops in Los Angeles County as there is a lot of personal touch that gives this store its own personality.

The shop itself it's huge, but the selection is vast, and they make really good use of the space. Plus, it seems like they just celebrated their one-year anniversary - congrats to them! Besides the usual stationery store findings (notebooks, stickers, pens, stamps), there are quite a few things that make this shop unique. First, they have a lot of shop-specific swag. I came away with a Mt. Fo'rest sticker and pin, but they also had a cool tumbler that I was eyeing. Second, they have a pretty robust stamping station. Like, really robust. My son spent almost the entire visit stamping. They also gave him a free sticker sheet! They provide some paper, and I grabbed their business card and stamped the date on the back as well. They also have store stamps there, and plenty of them! And they have this stamp that you press down 3 times and each time it lays down a different layer of a design. It's really cool. They also have a pretty nice testing table with pens, paper, and the little tabletop rolly vacuum thing. Somewhat randomly, they also sell teas and matcha, including some mystery bags. Service is also really friendly. We spent so much time here and came out with some great swag.

But even without that very personal experience, I love the collection of special edition (and pricey, but appropriately so) books intermixed with $1 used books out side. I have purchased several of each. Always worth it. As a grandfather with only one grandchild, now 10 years old, reading a deluxe edition of The Princess Bride to him during weekly visits last winter brought a kind of joy that is hard to capture in words. As Stephen King once famously wrote: "It's hard to make strangers care about the good things in your life." For me, Fables & Fancies is one of those good things.

I learned from Ana, the owner, that the shop recently celebrated its first anniversary! Excited to come back during future visits to my parents' home.
