Penelope’s Favorite Websites: Paper Source for pretty office supplies

April 28, 2010

I love it when I hear about another great website where you can buy pretty office supplies. My new favorite is called Paper Source and I’m absolutely loving their selection of unique things for your office and home. A big thanks to reader Tacy from HomeMaking Habits for bringing this site to my attention.

Here are just a few of the products form Paper Source that are catching my eye today. Wouldn’t these cuties add a little bit of “pretty” to your office?

Go ahead and hop on over to Paper Source and see what they have to offer. There’s a ton of stuff there, and not just office supplies. There’s even a mug I really have my eye on.  (Have I told you that the ONLY thing I collect is mugs?) I can’t wait til they get more back in stock.

Do you have a recommendation for a great website you think other Penelopes should know about? Email me or put it into the comments. If I blog about it, I promise I’ll give you credit. We’re always on the lookout for creative ways to express our neatness, aren’t we?

I love See Jane Work, too. They have fun office accessories that you can mix in… even in a traditional office environment without getting too many looks!

I just bought a desk embosser for myself from Paper Source yesterday. I love their stuff and finally splurged on the embosser I have been eyeing!

Howdy, I riffed off of this post a bit on my blog today. Thanks for the inspiration. Even though I poked a little fun, I am a friend!!

Just what I needed! I’m organizing my office today! Well, it’s day one of organizing my office.

OH! How did I not know about PaperSource yet? I’m sure I’ll spend quite a few hours drooling over the next couple of nights. I already saw a couple invite suites I like, and millions of options if I do go about creating my own. The almost -husband says thanks for the added distractions :)

Oh my goodness!! Beautiful!!! Can’t wait to have the time to look through the entire shop! Thanks for the tip!

I wish I would have thought of Paper Source when I was purchasing all of my cute office supplies for the year. I love the fabric tacks, I must have them!! I am going to be re-organizing/re-decorating my home office in the next few months so I am sure I will be spending a lot of time on the Paper Source website. Thanks Meredith for putting this on my radar.

Meredith April 28, 2010 at 12:51 pm

@Nick: your post made me laugh! Glad to hear from you, friend!

Oh, that site is wonderful. I love the Japanese papers. A cute site for office and stationery goodies is: http://www.catchingfireflies.com I really like the dry erase boards there! :)

The Paper Source stores are pretty incredible. If you ever have the opportunity to stop by one-take it!

Jessica at Lavender and Lilies April 28, 2010 at 5:05 pm

I love those thumbtacks!

Marie April 28, 2010 at 6:34 pm

My heart actually did a little pitter-patter when I checked out Paper Source! Immediately saved to my bookmarks…thanks Meredith!! How are you doing?? xoxoxox

Melanie April 28, 2010 at 7:10 pm

I will say that we are kindred spirits. I love organizing everything. It makes me so happy. I mailed your prize yesterday. Should be there next week. Hope that it gets there in one piece.

I love, love, love Paper Source. There’s a store somewhat nearby, but it takes a little effort to get to. I guess that’s a good thing, because I’d be in there all the time.

One of my favorites is Russell and Hazel, but I think you already know about that one.

Oh, I *adore* Rae Dunn! She has a website and an Etsy shop, and you can buy from her directly: http://raedunn.blogspot.com/ . I have lots of her little plates and things – now my eye is on her ‘please remove your shoes’ plaque.

Meredith April 29, 2010 at 9:20 am

@ Kirwin, you’re right, I love love love Russell + Hazel.

I LOVE Paper Source. I have to ban myself from their store. I pass it 3 times a week…

Erin April 29, 2010 at 10:48 pm

I love all things paper! I purchased some pretty file folders from http://www.redstamp.com/ And of course etsy for almost all of my paper purchases!

tacy May 1, 2010 at 10:38 am

Yay!!!!! I am truly a Penelope at heart. I’m so glad you found a name for the organizer within me…. :0)

I love that bulletin board! Paper source is one of those stores you can just obsess over! My recent obsession for pretty office supplies has been:

Hi, my name is Danielle, and I’m a paper-source junkie. There is one in Princeton, but now that I’m living in Michigan the closest one is 5 hours away. (boooo!!) I love your site. It makes me laugh and smile, because it’s just so me. I’m totally a penelope.
