They have good selection of handmade paper...

Super helpful staff, amazingly thorough and varied selection, definitely swinging back by on my way out of town for a couple of gifts. Pretty reasonable prices even compared to retail-hell discount chain stores, but also much nicer quality tools and materials. crazy cool materials like washi paper, etc. If you're artsy/crafty and need a nice break in your day, just stop by and browse, or if you have a specific project in mind, I can't imagine they wouldn't be able to set you up with exactly what you need, from paint to adhesives to drawing and...
