Paperish Mess is a local boutique featuring hundreds of makers, designers and artists. It is a fun shop to visit for any gift needs, with a lovely variety of cute items available for selection. They carry handcrafted jewelry, greeting cards, art prints, home goods, journals, apothecary, baby goods, candles, incense, mugs, baby clothes, and more. Many items are art and cards designed by local artists, homemade or locally sourced. There is a special affection for the candles and incense, and a lot of seasonal options. The folks there are always welcoming, helpful, friendly and accommodating. The interior does look a little dark from the outside, so they have a big sign in front when they are open. It’s great to have a store like this in the neighborhood. The shop is open to the public with a mask required and still accepts online orders for pickup or shipping within the continental US.
Always super friendly. We’ve been coming here ever since it opened. So many local artists to support. Cards for every occasion!
