First is Plum. She has such a fabulous variety of gifts, decor, and paper.
She has actually made a good bit of her items available online! Go check it out at PlumNewOrleans.com. Kourtney was so kind to aside a copy of the Design Sponge newspaper for me, since NOLA was the only within 200 miles of my home to get it!
Next up is Scriptura. This is the most charming little paperie that I have ever visited. I make a trip there every time I’m in town. Think: Paper Source with indie charm. It’s not hard to see why it’s featured in the D*S New Orleans Design Guide.
Scriptura is also where I discovered LePen, my favorite pens. I always do any greeting card shopping for any events I have coming up since their letterpress selection is phenomenal.
Finally, Angelique Baby is quite possibly the most charming little shop that I have ever had the pleasure to stroll into. If Kathleen Kelly owned a children’s shop, this would be it.
The gorgeous paper decor that you see in the store is created by a local artist Kaki.
There are several other shops in the area that I love, so this is just the tip of iceberg: my top three. I hope that you get a chance to visit NOLA soon and check out these sweet spots.
Thank you so much to all three shop owners who let me browse around and snap these photos on Monday.
