Got the most beautiful wedding invitations, thank you notes, coasters and menus from Ephemera. The staff was helpful and fun to work with, and their shop is adorable! They have lots of pretty cards and little gifts — I couldn’t help but buy something every time I went in to talk about my wedding paper products! At one point, we had a miscommunication about the color of the something, and the studio offered to reprint that day and even drop them off! Also — we had to add a last minute note to our gift boxes, and the staff was able to print something adorable within a few hours. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back when I’m in town.

Oh my, so much temptaion in one place for a paper junkie. I loved all of the gorgeous art papers, along with the other beautiful baubles scattered throughout this fun little shop. The selection is quirky and will tickle the creative within you. Have fun! I know I will be back again to feed my addiction.

This is a great little shop that sells homemade stationery as well as a small assortment of handmade jewelry, accessories, home items, and other shiny objects that I have no real use for but want to purchase anyway. They do custom stationery, invitations, etc. and though I haven’t looked through their selection extensively, what I’ve seen looked very creative and exciting. The greatest thing about Ephemera is that there’s a whole«crafting» room toward the back where they hold different classes each month — knitting, printmaking, sessions with local artists, etc. The classes are reasonably priced and although I haven’t had a chance to sign up for one yet, there’s always something that looks fun!

I’m bringing postage back. Remember the excitement of there being a «real» letter when you were in college? Well, it never went away. It’s still boss to get a letter with actual handwriting on the front. Far too often people forget, or neglect the simple pleasure of opening a post box and not seeing a impersonal form letter, the gas bill, or yet another post card from that optometrist that you went to three years ago when you needed more contacts — quickly. When I stumbled upon Ephemera Stationary Studio a few months ago, I was looking for one, maybe two quickie birthday cards to two of the four people that are on my holiday card list. What I found in the shop was inspiration and beauty surrounding me. Passing through the birthday cards, thank you notes, I noticed fine collections of charming and original hand-made cards. Blank for«Just Because.» While browsing, I met and had a nice chat with the gal behind the counter of the benefits and pitfalls of giving a gift of paint-by-number pictures painted or unpainted.(My sister sure enjoyed her UN-painted pictures at Christmas.) Ephemera provides the cards, notes, and design-intuitiveness for one-of-a-kind cards — the kind of cards that end up on a fridge, or in a cubicle, just because. Just because they’re pretty, and just because you forked over the $.42 to make someone’s day. Find it at Ephemera.

I am a sucker for good stationary and cards and this shop has them! Locally owned and locally created, so if you are looking for something specific, these ladies can make it for you. Everything in the store is very creative and handmade, but if you are looking for a wide variety of choices, you might want to go to Hallmark or make a custom order. It also helps that they always have coffee/cocoa and cupcakes available for you while browsing.
