Community Love

  • I really appreciate the sense of community they possess. Paper Seahorse offers frequent workshops, hosts club meetings, and hosts a lot of cool classes like calligraphy and writing thank you notes.

  • I have placed a few online orders with this shop and am impressed with the thoughtful selection and all of the wonderful Traveler’s Notebook items - many of which are hard to find in the States. Definitely a must-see for anyone who loves stationery and journaling.

  • From the first time I walked in to The Paper Seahorse, it felt like my second home. The store is filled with beautiful and useful tools for those who are or want to be writers. letter writers, and journal keepers. I am inspired each time I visit.

  • What a great shop (in a reimagined bungalow) for paper aficionados! They have a wonderland of paper goods ... and they offer classes in paper-oriented arts (lettering, calligraphy, origami, journaling, bookmaking). Sensory overload! They also offer antique typewriters for sale ... and classes in how to use them. You should come and see all this awesomeness for yourself!
