Paper Leaves — Local services in Waxahachie

Like books? Plants? Kitschy gifts? Good, cozy vibes? Then you’ll absolutely adore this place. The book selection is decently diverse and relevant. They had a few wrapped “mystery purchase” books that you could gift to others or surprise yourself with. They advertise a book club that meets in house, too. They’ve got an adorable kids room with a quaint magical feel to it. The back room has some seating and a game wall to relax and hang out with friends and family. There’s ample seating found throughout and restrooms, too. The attendants are kind and helpful. The plants are upstairs and are gorgeously presented. You can walk over from White Rhino and explore their collection and make a little excursion of it to help support local businesses.

I was tired! Tired! Tired! Fed up! Frustrated! Angry! Disappointed! Ready to give up! Tired! Tired! Defeated! Discouraged! Dejected! Tired!

AND they have a porch swing…. 🤩🤩🤩🤩😁😁😁😁💎💙💎💙💎💙💎💎💙

Thank you! Thank...

What a quintessential refuge for the wary intellectual or the ideologically parched. In this small, conforting independent book store you will find respite and mental fortitude to quench your inquisitive thirst!

There are board games to inspire community. Quiet enclaves with comfortable seating for introspection or the beginnings of a small litetary salon of sorts. The environment was welcoming, personal, homely even.

The shop is quaint but has enough variety to be interesting. We did not have the time or capacity to walk upstairs to view the plants. However, it sounds like a lovely combination. I purchased The Murders in the Rue Morgue written by Edgar Allan Poe. My daughter scored a win with The Love Songs of W. E. B. DuBois written by Honoree...
