magic on columbus ave. nyc
A new neighbor appeared only four blocks from where i live. Boy am i in so much trouble. A fan of Paper Source for a long time, imagine my delight when this store opened in the neighborhood. But prior to their opening the location was the former home of Therapie, an adorable boutique with treasures from all over the world. For over eight years everything was hand-picked for its quality and charm, but yes…the landlord got greedy and Therapie went bye-bye. If there was any store that could help raise my spirits from the loss of Therapie…that would be Paper Source!
Walking by Paper Source this week there were subtle changes that reminded me that the beginning of autumn is definitely here…the afternoon light casting shadows, the hint of yellow in the leaves, the Halloween decorations in the store windows. And how appropriate that this week Bella’s 52 photos project is to notice the changes happening around us and to capture that magic!
Welcome to autumn…i just love that word!
P.S…i understand Paper Source recently arrived in Scottsdale, Arizona too! Yeah…happy camper!
How Cool. I’m sure you will have many hours of fun in there. xxoo & More!
Yes. It is a beautiful time & a beautiful season!
Loving what you have shared.
I love that I can taste fall through your photos! My all time favorite time of year!!!! YEAH for Paper Source! The store in Scottsdale is nice, however it is much smaller than the one in your hood. Love you much!
I do not know the paper source but will definitively have to see if they are here close to where I live.
I love autumn too 🙂
I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent in Paper Source dreaming up creative projects. Lucky you!!!
great photo – paper source can be addicting for sure
I get into tons of “trouble” at Paper Source! Nice way to capture this prompt.
Oh no! They’re gonna get you coming and going! But I know what you mean. I’m not familiar with that store but I’m sure I would be if it were nearby. My dad loved paper, too, so I definitely am my father’s daughter! Especially paper with narrow lines. 🙂
Oh, and I love AUTUMN, too…the word and the season. 🙂
Happy Autumn, Robin! Thanks for continually inspiring us with your beautiful work!
Those are beautiful Día de Los Muertos skulls. I’ve never been to a Paper Source store, but it sounds like it’s right up my alley. Blessings!
