I LOVE stationery stores. I could spend hours in them. I admit, I'm a dinosaur, as I love writing and sending greeting cards and letters. I know it's a lost art of sorts, but I just enjoy it so, so stationery stores have a soft spot in my heart.
And they are a dying breed. So many brick and mortar paper stores are closing up shop. When I moved to Vancouver, I got all my cards at the downtown Papyrus, and I was so very sad when they closed.
Enter Mollie's. It's fairly small, but they carry a decent selection of Hallmark and Papyrus greetings cards. They also now are carrying some boxed Christmas cards, too. I liked how they had a good selection of UNICEf boxed holiday cards. (I was a bit dismayed how they didn't have any Hanukkah boxed cards. I saw a bunch of them last time I was at IKEA, as they carry the UNICEF boxed cards - for Christmas and Hanukkah ,both).
This store also has cute school/office supplies (novelty erasers and pens and pencils, crayons, paper clips, etc), and some wonderful gift ideas for kids and teens (fun card games, stickers, beautiful artsy jigsaw puzzles, etc.). I also noted that they have a Canada Post counter and mailbox at the back, so you can mail out your cards and packages here (nice! One stop shopping!). and they have a wall section of mailboxes one can presumably rent out. Convenient. read more
