We are moving!

We're moving. 743 N High Street. 3 DOORS to the North (no joke)!   Full of light and charm (and hope) and we can't wait for you to see it. Yet another chapter for On Paper. Our doors will be open on Saturday. Our shop might be a mess but our hearts will be full and we can't wait for you to see what we have in store. It was 90 days ago, this past November, that we confessed that 2020 was crushing. Not just us but so many small businesses in our neighborhood and across America. Our favorite shops, diners and bakeries are empty. Hotels and restaurants are maybe half full. There's been so much disruption and loss. But there's a...

Excuse our mess

Hello dear friends and family, We have news...so much news, it's too big for the blog so we're rolling video.  #1 we're having a tag sale which will include many of our shop fixtures and displays like our truly one of a kind potting bench cash wrap, two lovely glass domes, a wood cabinet with adjustable shelves, our beloved glass pen case, a school house chalk board on wheels, a sweet little side table, and farmhouse table that's oozing character. And, there's so much more including a massive paper sale.  You're invited to shop safely Friday - Sunday from 11am - 6 pm. We'll limit the # of customers in our shop and open up the basement for your shopping pleasure. The last...

What. A. Weekend

You guys came out in a big and safe way last weekend! Except for the masks, social distancing and hand sanitizing, it felt like a normal November weekend in the shop. We love what we do, whether it's chatting with you about our local artists or packing up web orders, it's so much fun when we're busy making people happy and honoring our mission! Your handwriting is an art, whether you think about it that way or not. There's nothing else exactly like it. You don't need any special talents or skills, just a good pen, a little time and maybe some practice. As we promised, we stocked all of your favorites for holiday and as predicted, you're shopping earlier...

How is On Paper going to evolve?

Thank you, Columbus Underground for advocating for small business! On Paper was recently featured in a well written article and I am so appreciative of their efforts. If you've made a purchase from us in the last six months, thank you a million times over. You have helped our shop survive through the end of 2020. There have been some questions on social media and other platforms for more detail on our plans so I wanted to share what I know as of today. After 23 years and the Christmas holiday, we will vacate our space at 737 N. High Street as soon as we can get it packed up. We're doing this because a) it's too big (it may...
