20 Years of The Paper Place
Enjoy these photos from those early days - so different, and yet somehow so much the same (except for me - not remotely the same 😂)
Twenty years ago today, I took over the shop I had worked at and loved, and reopened it as The Paper Place. I had no idea what I was doing - just a lot of hope, determination, and love for what this place was, and what it could be.
There have been so many beautiful moments since then… and if I’m honest, some incredibly hard ones too.
More than once over the past few years, I’ve wondered if we’d make it to another anniversary. But somehow - thanks to all of you - we’re still here. Still creating. Still fighting to keep this small business alive.
To every customer who’s walked through our doors, to the community that continues to believe in us, and to our incredible staff who give their energy every single day - thank you. You’re the reason we’ve made it this far!
Here’s to twenty years of paper, perseverance, and the people who make it all worthwhile. ❤️
